The detailed planning and design of Supports and Hangers for the pipes in a process plant is a major exercise particularly in the planning of process projects including thermal power generation stations. The PIPE HANGER ENGINEERING program enables this exercise to be carried out elegantly and substantially reduces the man-hours-needed to design supports and hangers including the optimization of the individual items such as Spring Cage Assembly (SCA) and Constant Load Hangers (CLH), which constitute the bulk of the cost.
