Check out the story of a ConX Modular Steel Pipe Rack covering detailing, shop fabrication, virtual construction and finally footage of installation in the field. This example uses the ConXR System which includes HSS8X8 columns and W12X30 and W12X40 Beams.
The final project tonnage was 451 tons with 2,726 assemblies ranging at total erection tasks including unloading, staging, erection, and final bolting at 4.1 man hours per ton. The fabrication man hours per ton were close to 5.2. The rack varies in height with the central rack being 24'-0 and then the wings being 20'-0. There are two primary structural levels along the length of the rack at 8'-0 vertical spacing along with cantilever beams to pick up electrical trays outside of the racks main 20'-0 width. There are then 2 levels of pipe support beams that can easily be added or removed depending on where pipe spans perpendicular to the main support steel where piping expansion joints occurr or connect to equipment outside of the rack.
Standard ConX gravity clips that receive the pipe support beams were added to all columns allowing the structural steel fabrication and erection for the main structure to begin even before the final piping support design was completed as additional pipe support beams could be easily installed to the existing main support structure. The piping design was done with PDMS, the structural detailing and virtual construction was done with Tekla Structures, the piping and structural coordination was done in Navisworks, and field review and coordination of the steel was done with Tekla BIMsight.
