JSC Engineers provided detailed pipe stress analysis and engineered pipe support design for the hot glycol process piping system at the Rahr Malt Plant in Shakopee, Minnesota. The system is a critical part of the malt drying process and required highly specialized stress evaluation to ensure long-term safety and operational reliability.

Our team of piping engineers used advanced stress analysis software and adhered to industry standards such as ASME B31.3 to evaluate thermal expansion, load cases, and support locations. By modeling system behavior under temperature and pressure extremes, we were able to optimize routing and eliminate risk of overstress or fatigue failure in the field.

We also designed custom pipe supports to control movement and vibration, protect equipment connections, and maintain alignment throughout the plant. This approach minimized maintenance requirements and extended the life of the glycol piping infrastructure.

JSC Engineers is a trusted provider of pipe stress analysis services for industrial and process facilities. Whether you’re managing thermal fluids, steam, or high-pressure liquids, our piping expertise ensures code compliance and system integrity from concept to construction.
