BOILER STEEL STRUCTURES

A typical complete package includes main supporting columns and beams, boiler suspension hanger systems, wind and seismic bracing, multi-level platform beams and cross-framing, staircase stringers and cage ladders, pipe racks for steam and feedwater lines, ductwork and flue gas duct support frames, cable tray and instrument supports, and foundation anchor bolt assemblies.

The scope is always project-specific. We can supply the complete structural package or individual elements — for example, main frames only (if a local civil contractor handles platforms) or platforms only (if the boiler supplier handles the main frame). Tell us your scope split and we'll quote accordingly.

Yes. Retrofit projects require working around existing foundations, operating clearances, and site access constraints that do not exist in a greenfield design. Our engineering team can work from existing drawings, site measurements, or 3D scans to design compatible new or extended structures. We consider thermal expansion of existing members, available bolt holes on existing steelwork, and phased delivery to match shutdown windows. Please send your existing drawings and describe the modification scope when enquiring.

We design to the structural code specified in your project documents. Most common are AISC 360 / ASCE 7 (Americas), Eurocode 3 with EN 1090 fabrication (Europe and EN-aligned markets), and GB 50017 / GB 50009 (China and some Asian markets). We also work to project-specific structural specifications that combine elements of multiple codes, which is common in EPC projects where the owner or lender has their own engineering standards.

If no code is specified, we propose the most appropriate standard for the destination country and seek your approval before detailing begins.

Standard documentation package includes material certificates (EN 10204 3.1 for all structural sections), welding procedure specifications (WPS) and welder qualification records (WPQ), dimensional inspection reports, surface treatment records (galvanizing or painting), as-built drawings with erection marks, and packing lists keyed to the erection mark scheme.

For projects with third-party inspection, we can coordinate ITP hold points covering material verification, welding inspection, dimensional checks, and final release before packing. All documentation is provided in English; translated documents can be arranged where required.

The fastest route to a quote is structural general arrangement drawings showing column grid, platform elevations, and load points. If drawings are not yet available, the following allows a budget estimate:

• • Boiler type and steam capacity (t/h)
• • Overall boiler dimensions — width, depth, and height to top of drum
• • Number of platform levels and approximate perimeter at each
• • Suspension or bottom-supported configuration
• • Design code and country of installation (for wind/seismic zone)
• • Surface treatment requirement
• • Destination port and required delivery date

Yes. ORL Power supplies complete boiler island packages combining structural steel, grating, handrailing, and all pressure parts — economizers, superheaters, steam drums, headers, water walls — under one order. All components are engineered together so connection points, nozzle positions, and platform access levels are coordinated before fabrication, not resolved on site. Combined shipment reduces freight cost and simplifies customs clearance for the full project package.
