Tailored Pipe Supports for Mineral Processing Plants

Mineral processing plants play a pivotal role in the USA’s industrial landscape, where the efficient and high-quality extraction of minerals is essential for a wide range of applications. Reliable and efficient piping systems are critical in ensuring smooth operations.

Because FRP and dual laminate piping possess different stiffness and thermal expansion properties than metallic piping, generic pipe supports often cause localized point loading and premature pipe failure.

Maverick Applied Science designs custom FRP pipe supports, heavy-duty wear pads, hold-down straps, and spring hangers tailored to mineral processing operating loads and thermal cycles.
