Why Custom Pipe Supports Matter in Complex Projects

Standard pipe supports meet the needs of most jobs. They’re well-engineered, quality-assured, and ready to perform across a wide range of applications. But when a project calls for something more precise — due to geometry, loading, compliance, or environment — custom supports become essential.

Binder builds both.

Not Every Job Is Standard

Across mining, petrochemical, LNG, and infrastructure sectors, there’s growing demand for pipe support systems tailored to the specific constraints of each site. Harsh environments, strict code compliance, and tight geometries can quickly expose the limits of off-the-shelf options.

Custom supports aren’t a premium extra. They’re often the only way to ensure long-term integrity and system performance.

What Makes a Project Complex?

Common triggers for custom fabrication include:

  • Irregular structural alignment: Inclined pipes, offset loading, or restricted mounting conditions
  • Seismic or movement requirements: Projects requiring specific tolerances and restraint systems
  • Corrosion exposure: Salt spray, humidity, or chemical attack calling for specialised materials or coatings
  • Thermal expansion or axial movement: Where isolators or low-friction elements are needed for reliability
  • Fit and space constraints: When standard dimensions clash with other infrastructure or structural steel

Each of these adds risk — and custom supports help manage it effectively.

A Practical Example: Mount Holland Lithium Project

Binder was tasked with supplying supports for a stainless steel DN150 pipeline running on a 1-degree incline. Standard products didn’t match the geometry or performance needs. We supplied a modified pipe shoe fabricated in ASTM A36 carbon steel, galvanised to ASTM A153, and factory-bonded with a neoprene isolator to prevent galvanic corrosion.

Key modifications included:

  • A base-of-pipe dimension specifically calculated to suit the incline
  • Customisation to allow axial movement while keeping the pipe in alignment
  • Material selection to resist corrosion and ensure long-term performance

The result: a reliable, site-fit support system that helped protect the pipe from unnecessary stress and supported the integrity of the full installation.

Our custom support capability is backed by:

🡆 Decades of fabrication experience across complex and high-risk sectors

🡆 Deep knowledge of compliance standards and industry-specific challenges

🡆 A practical, outcome-focused approach that avoids overdesign

🡆 Strong internal coordination across technical, commercial, and delivery teams

We don’t push custom work where it’s not needed. But when the job calls for it, we have the knowledge and experience to get it right.

Final Thought

When our standard pipe supports just won’t do, our custom solutions deliver the performance, fit, and reliability your project demands — with no compromise on compliance or durability.
