Large Pipes Suspended by Lindapter Steel Fixings

Lindapter clamping systems were specified for securing the large industrial pipes at ‘Allerton Waste Recovery Park’, Amey’s new waste management facility. The site will reduce the amount of waste being sent to landfill in North Yorkshire and York by 90% and generate enough electricity to power the equivalent of 40,000 homes. Lindapter’s Type AAF clamps were specified for attaching multiple support brackets to steel beams in order to secure the large industrial pipes as they have a high tensile, friction and combined load capacity. The specifiers were confident that the Type AAF was the correct choice for the application due to its high strength, reliability and longevity. Lindapter’s range of independent technical approvals and over 80 years’ experience provided further reassurance for the engineers. The Girder Clamp’s lateral adjustability allowed the contractors to quickly position the brackets before tightening the clamps to secure the assembly. The simple installation using just standard hand tools, saved time and avoided damage to the steelwork and its galvanised coating. The Type AAF clamp is designed to self-adjust to suit 6-40mm flange thicknesses, which added further convenience for the installers who used just one type of connection throughout the project, despite the varying beam sizes. The Type AAF clamp is often used in heavy duty pipe support applications because it is specifically designed for high load requirements, including frictional, tensile and combined load applications. In addition, the Type AAF can be used in cold environments where impact strength is important because it is made from low temperature SG iron to provide high performance in temperatures down to -60 degrees Celsius. Lindapter also offer a free connection design service and we can design and manufacture fabricated assemblies for the pipes' supporting steelwork, saving contractors even more time and money.
