General instructions for V-Sup
A.1.
Equipment
V-Sup is a system of beams to build a stack (Figure 4). The stack can be used to support pipes during pipeline
construction activities. A V-Sup stack consists of several Stackable Beams (Figure 2) and one V-Beam (Figure 3). The
Stackable Beams are increasing the height of the stack with 120 mm per layer (3 beams per layer). The V-Sup stack
can also be used for other temporary support applications (e.g. in a factory or storage area).
On top of the stack of Stackable Beams a V-beam
will be placed to make sure the pipe won’t roll of the support. This V-
beam can also be used for pipe stringing. This means two beams will be placed directly on the ground after which a
pipe can be placed on top of them.
The V-Sup is capable of supporting pipes up to Ø2032 mm / 80
’’. A pipe has to be supported by at least 2 V-Sup Stacks.
