Introduction
Piperck is the main artery of the plant connecting all equipments/ units with lines.
Normally it is erected first on before the rows of equipment becomes an
obstruction for it. Piperack carry process lines, utility lines, cables trays, air
coolers.

Structural framework
It is ideal to provided elevation Bracing in both direction Transverse &
Longitudinal direction. However this is not always possible due to piping
requiements like access way (sometime forklift movement), pumps located at
below at grade level. The various options of a structural arrangement could be
1. moment resisting framework in the transverse direction
2. Partial moment resisting frame (below first tier). This is possible when
there are two bays in the transverse direction.
Longitudinal tie beams to be at 125mm below Pipe tier TOS. This is a piping
requirement for line stop plates etc.
