Pipe Rack Structural Design & Engineering Services
Structural design of multi-tier pipe racks, pipe bridges and pipe support structures with full analysis, drawings and MTO for oil & gas and EPC projects in Saudi Arabia.
SLETEC provides structural design of pipe racks and pipe support structures for industrial facilities in Saudi Arabia, covering multi-tier pipe racks, single-tier pipe racks, sleeper racks, elevated racks, pipe bridges and pipe rack corridors. Pipe rack structural design is a critical discipline on oil & gas and petrochemical projects in Jubail, Yanbu and Ras Tanura, where large-bore process lines must be routed safely between equipment areas.
Our engineering scope includes AISC 360 structural design, wind and seismic load analysis per ASCE 7, thermal expansion and pipe guide/anchor coordination with the piping discipline, connection and anchor bolt design, and fabrication drawing preparation. SLETEC ensures that all structural analysis, drawings and documentation meet applicable standards and client project specifications.
For EPC contractors and plant owners, SLETEC provides a complete pipe rack deliverable set covering structural calculation, MTO, foundation anchor bolt layout and fabrication drawing — all issued under project document control with full revision history.
Engineering documentation prepared with reference to API, ASME, AISC, AWS, ISO, Saudi Aramco, SABIC and client project specifications where applicable.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is included in a SLETEC pipe rack structural design package?
SLETEC's pipe rack structural design package includes structural analysis (wind, seismic, pipe loading), pipe rack GA drawing (plan, elevation, sections), structural steel fabrication drawing, connection detail drawing, anchor bolt layout drawing, pipe rack MTO/BOQ, and structural calculation report. Coordination with piping for pipe guide and anchor locations is included in the scope.
Does SLETEC design pipe bridges as well as pipe racks?
Yes. SLETEC designs pipe bridges, elevated pipe racks, sleeper-type pipe support structures and pipe rack corridors in addition to conventional multi-tier pipe racks. Pipe bridge design includes span analysis, deflection checks and thermal expansion coordination with the piping discipline.
What standards govern pipe rack design in Saudi Arabia?
Pipe rack structural design in Saudi Arabia is governed by AISC 360 (Specification for Structural Steel Buildings), ASCE 7 (Minimum Design Loads), API RP 2A for offshore or heavy industrial structures where applicable, AWS D1.1 for welding, and Saudi Aramco SAES-Q-005 for projects within Aramco facilities. Wind and seismic parameters are taken from Saudi Building Code or project-specific hazard studies.
Can SLETEC extend or modify an existing pipe rack?
Yes. SLETEC provides brownfield pipe rack extension and modification drawings, including as-found documentation of the existing structure, structural assessment of additional loads, connection design for new members to existing structure, and IFC modification drawings for construction. Brownfield pipe rack scopes have been completed for clients in Jubail, Yanbu and Dammam.
