Tailored Pipe Supports for Semiconductor Plants

The CHIPS Act signifies the United States’ commitment to domestically producing semiconductor chips, prompting the construction of new semiconductor fabrication plants. In these facilities, the reliability of operations is paramount, making FRP tanks and piping essential components.

Proper support design for high-purity nonmetallic exhaust headers and ultra-pure chemical distribution piping requires careful calculation of thermal expansion, anchor loads, and guide clearances.

Maverick Applied Science engineers custom support configurations that prevent stress concentrations and guard against costly vibration damage or chemical leakage in semiconductor fab environments.
