Pipe racks and Pipe Trenches
Piping outside process units shall be supported on
sleepers, at ground level in Pipe racks or below ground
level in Pipe Trenches.
The choice between Pipe tracks and Pipe trenches is
dictated by technical and economic considerations.
The distance between sleepers in pipe tracks and in pipe
trenches shall be based on maximum allowed free span of
the majority of pipes.
Elevation of sleepers shall be such that there is access for
maintenance and for operation of valves, drains and
instrumentation.
Flanged connection shall not be installed in trenches.
Concrete trenches shall be adequately drained.
The Headroom normally provided
is as below.

Proper accessibility of inline components
Pipe to pipe spacing shall be as recommended
Distance between pipes shall allow for turning of spectacle
blind, if present.
Piping shall be supported properly.
Standard and easily available pipe fittings to be used.
For large dia buried pipe line air release valves, manholes
to be provided.
Slopes to be provided in pipeline as per the process
requirement.
General Piping Layout Guidelines
