157 Embed Plates Designed For A Construction Company In Texas

Type: Embed Plates
Size: ¾” x 14” x 18” | Nelson Studs: ¾” x 7”
Material: HDG Carbon Steel
Testing: Visual & Q.C. Tests

PT&P designed and manufactured 157 embed plates for a construction company in Texas. Embeds are essentially anchor bars used to secure steel to the concrete. The plate is ¾” x 14″ x 18″, and the Nelson studs are ¾” x 7″. All components are fabricated from carbon steel with a hot-dipped galvanized finish. Visual and Q.C. tests were performed prior to shipment. This job was a 15-day turnaround in order to meet the customers’ construction schedule.

Embeds are usually set in concrete foundations, floors, or piers and are a key component in the construction industry for connecting steel to concrete. Virtually all “grass-roots” projects such as chemical, power, refinery, solar, food processing, mining, and green energy plants contain embedded steel as a part of its foundation. These can also be used in automotive, semiconductor, and now battery plants. We have the ability and knowhow to custom manufacture various sizes, types and can utilize different materials to meet our client specifications.

Our Houston based manufacturing operations allow us to meet tight delivery schedules at most project job sites allowing for cash flow management of the project and substantially reduced supply chain risk. Typically embeds and anchor bolts have time criticality considerations because the concrete construction teams must mobilize in a timely fashion so logistics and cost can be managed effectively.

Custom Embed Plates for Gold Mine in Cajamarca, Peru

December 7, 2021

Ptp Embed Plates Peru Collage

Piping Technology & Products, Inc., designed and manufactured 150 custom embed plate pieces for Latin America’s largest gold producer. This gold mine is located between 3,500 and 4,100 meters above sea level in a northwestern province of Peru. The gold district is a 10 x 4 km zone of altered rocks with a belt of Tertiary volcanic that extends through Peru. Currently, precious metal is mined in three open quarries and according to rough estimates, the investments in the development of the gold mine amounted to about 150 million US dollars.

Nightview Gold Mine
Nightview from Active Gold Mine Processing Site

This project involved the production of 150, 93″ x 27″ x 1″ embed plates which required the use of 80,000 pounds of steel and anchors. The custom-designed, carbon steel, embed plates provided stability for the feed openings of four mineshafts reclaim tunnels and were scheduled to be put to use immediately. Our manufacturing process for these embed plates entails the use of a Nelson® stud welding machine to weld the studs to carbon steel plates. The carbon steel plates can be shaped to meet the rectangular mineshaft dimensions, then the studs are welded in place. Concrete is then poured around the outside of the embed plate shaft and the studs anchor the plates in place after the concrete sets. These assemblies can then be hot-dipped galvanized to protect against corrosion.

So, whether gold, silver, coal, precious gemstones, rock salt, gravel, oil shale, or some other valuable minerals are being mined, stable mineshafts are an important part of the mining process. PT&P has also manufactured embed plates suitable for large-scale projects for use in the foundations of the chemical, refinery, wastewater treatment, and power plants.

Anchor Bolts For Boiler Feed Water Pump Turbine Drives
Anchor Bolts for Boiler Feed Water Pump Turbine Drives

These are special high-strength anchor bolts used in a coal-fired power plant to secure the water pumps’ foundation. They range from 1” to 3 1/2” in diameter and 137” in length. The actual bolts are made from ASTM low Alloy Steel F1554-04, grade 55. This steel has a tensile strength of 517-655 Mpa, (75-95 Ksi), and a yield strength of 380 Mpa, (55 Ksi). The nuts are made from ASTM A563, grade A, and the washers from ASTM F436, Type 1. The bolts are threaded per UNC threading, class 2A fit, and the finish is plain.

How to Avoid Pipe Stress
What is Pipe Stress?
“Pipe Stress” refers to piping flexibility analysis.

High Stress Locations on Pipes
High stress areas generally occur at piping elbows, tees and other branch connections. The B 31.3 Piping Code provides stress intensification factors for such locations. Computer piping programs generally do piping flexibility analysis for those other than very simple systems.

Signs of Pipe Stress
An overstressed system could fail by fatigue, leading to a crack, buckling of the elbows, or overload on equipment nozzles.

How to Reduce Pipe Stress
High stress should be uncovered in the design stage. However, existing systems can be checked for incipient cracks by x-ray, ultrasound, acoustic emission or dye penetrant. Also, rerouting the pipe can provide more flexibility and sometimes reduce high stress. When rerouting is impossible or not practical, then pipe stress can be reduced significantly by adding Bellows Expansion Joints. Any sections of the pipe showing cracks must be replaced.

Anchor Bolts with Polyethylene Sleeves

Anchor Bolts With Polyethylene Sleeves
Anchor Bolts with Polyethylene Sleeves

The photograph above shows anchor bolts, which are to be set in concrete with only a short portion above the surface. They are used to anchor equipment to a concrete slab by attaching to the bolts. Several of these at the top of the picture have polyethylene sleeves, which keep the wet concrete away from the bolt just below the surface. This makes it easier to make slight adjustments to the position of the bolt during attachment to the equipment which is to be anchored.
