CUSTOMIZATION: Spring Supports

Unparalleled Customization from Unmatched Manufacturing Capabilities
Producing the broadest set of customization options with minimal impact on delivery timeframes.

Materials Stainless Steel Chromoly Super Alloys (Hastelloy, INCOLOY®, Inconel, Monel 400…)

Finishes Galvanized (Standard) Paint / Primer Paint over Galvanized Red Oxide Neoprene Coating

Dimensions The size can be optimized to specific dimension requirements, and customized to fit in restricted spacing.

Load We can supply spring supports with custom load capabilities of 800,000 lb. + loads. Load Adjustment Standard is +/- 10%, but we can customize up to +/- 60% Load Adjustment)

Travel Standard is +/- 10%, but we can customize up to +/- 60% Load Adjustment) Travel Stops We can provide wire or chained travel stops.

Sensors for Remote Monitoring We can provide sensors on spring supports to monitor the conditions remotely, and give warning alerts whenever a support does not perform as it should.

Unparalleled Customization from Unmatched Manufacturing Capabilities

PT&P has developed a unique approach to its manufacturing operation that produces the broadest set of customization options with minimal impact to delivery timeframes. Most producers operate as smaller scale steel fabricators or highly standardized mass production organizations. PT&P is the only organization that is set up for both scales with over 500 production employees, customization capabilities, and artisan manufacturing skills. For example, PT&P is the only Major Global Supplier of both Expansion Joints and Engineered Pipe Supports. This unmatched manufacturing technique was achieved through proprietary systems, a highly engineered approach to manufacturing, and incorporating 10+ Industrial Engineers in the production operation.
