Question 1

Can equipment skids be fabricated and shipped as complete assemblies?

Accepted Answer

Yes, within shipping envelope limits. Base skids and frames can be shop-assembled, drilled and pre-fitted before galvanizing and shipment, cutting down on-site fabrication work. For assemblies exceeding container dimensions, sections get match-marked for straightforward bolted site assembly instead.

Question 2

What load standard governs multi-tier pipe rack design in India?

Accepted Answer

IS 875 (wind loads) and IS 802 principles (for lattice-type structures) inform the loading basis, combined with IS 2062 material properties and IS 800 (general construction in steel) for member design and connection detailing. Export projects should also confirm whether the destination country's own structural code needs to be referenced instead.

Question 3

Should I specify hot-dip galvanizing thickness for steel supports, or is standard enough?

Accepted Answer

Ask for the specific micron thickness, typically 65 to 85 microns per ASTM A123 / IS 4759, rather than accepting "hot-dip galvanized" as a description on its own. Thickness varies with steel section and immersion time, and a thin coating on heavy structural sections is a corner some suppliers cut. Request the zinc-thickness test certificate as proof.

Question 4

Can steel supports be designed for seismic zones?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Seismic design considerations, per IS 1893 or the destination country's seismic code, affect connection detailing and bracing requirements, particularly for taller or heavier multi-tier structures. Share your project's seismic zone classification alongside the load schedule so the design accounts for it from the start rather than needing rework later.

Question 5

How are heavy supports packed and shipped overseas?

Accepted Answer

Heavy supports are loaded directly into 40 ft open-top or flat-rack containers, with hardwood dunnage and ratchet straps. Pre-assembled racks above 8 m length ship in sections with bolt-up flanges. We handle the lashing and stuffing in our yard.

Question 6

Are Indian-manufactured cable trays subject to anti-dumping duties in the UK, Australia or the EU?

Accepted Answer

Indian-origin cable management products and structural steel items are not currently subject to anti-dumping duties in the UK, Australia or the EU. Anti-dumping measures against structural steel products from China exist or have been investigated in all three jurisdictions, these do not apply to Indian-origin goods. UK post-Brexit: the UK Global Tariff (UKGT) applies 0% duty on cable trays (HS 7308.90) and most engineering steel products from India under MFN terms. The India-UK Free Trade Agreement, currently in final stages of negotiation, is expected to formalise zero or near-zero duty rates and could introduce a Preferential COO mechanism similar to CEPA. Australia: MFN duty on cable trays and gratings (HS 7308.90, HS 7326.20) is 0%, no FTA required and no anti-dumping measures against Indian goods in these categories. EU: standard MFN duty applies to Indian-origin cable management (typically 0–2.7% for the relevant HS codes). If you are procuring through a supply chain where origin certification matters for anti-dumping compliance, Indian-origin goods with EEPC India COO are the cleanest documentation option across all three markets.
