During the COVID lockdowns, we hosted a series of webinar sessions to support engineers and contractors during design and planning stages when in-person events were limited.
Due to the versatility of the siFramo modular steel framing system and the advantages it offers when used alongside the Sikla pipe shoes range, we developed a dedicated webinar focusing on our industrial pipe support solutions.
The webinar is no longer live, but recordings are available on demand on our YouTube channel, allowing you to benefit from the sessions whenever suits you.

Not sure if you want to watch the webinar recording yet? Here are five reasons why you should:
1. Only 30 minutes for a great overview
Here is something we can all agree on: modular pipe support solutions are a topic that could easily fill several hours of discussion. However, we know how valuable your time is. That's why this webinar recording delivers a concise yet comprehensive overview in just 30 minutes.
The content is highly visual, easy to follow and presented by three experienced Sikla specialists, making it an efficient way to broaden your knowledge.
2. Understand the benefits of using modular pipe supports
Why should you consider to include these modular solutions in your pipework project design? Primarily due to its adjustability!
We know that during planning stages extensive model reviews, quality checks and thermal expansion analyses are carried out. However, unforeseen changes such as revised specifications or load changes can create on-site discrepancies, leading to additional time and costs on modifications and repairs.
Modular pipe support solutions can be invaluable in these situations, as they can be adjusted quickly and efficiently on site.
In this webinar recording, our Engineering team demonstrates examples of challenges that can occur during installation and shows how to take advantage of the versatility of Sikla pipe support solutions to overcome them.
Also, you will discover the extensive range of pipe shoes available off the shelf, helping to reduce lead time and simplify project delivery.

3. Explore the possible applications?
Our standard pipe shoe range can be used for three common pipe support scenarios: sliding, guided or fixed-point solutions.
The webinar explains each of these arrangements in detail covering installation methods, design considerations and the situations where each solution is most effective.
Our team highlights the flexibility of these solutions, showing how Sikla adjustable pipe shoes can be used with both siFramo profiles and traditional steel structures.
4. Discover some projects where you can see it applied
Visit the Sikla online project gallery to explore examples of projects where our pipe support solutions have been successfully installed.
The webinar recording expands on several of these projects, explaining the engineering challenges involved, the design approach taken and the final installed solution.

Examples are drawn from a variety of industries, including:
- Chemical & Pharma
- Power Generation & Energy from Waste
- Utilities & Water
- Petrochemical & Oil & Gas
5. Learn directly from Sikla experts
One of the great advantages of this webinar recording is the opportunity to benefit from the expertise and practical knowledge shared by our Engineering team.
Throughout the session, our specialists address many of the common questions and challenges faced by engineers, contractors and project teams when designing and installing pipe support systems.
