To meet the need for increased delivery of oil from Canada and North Dakota, a pipeline client planned an expansion of a terminal in the midwestern U.S. For the project, Barr designed the pipe rack, which supports more than two dozen 36-inch-diameter pipes over a distance of 1,300 feet—the equivalent of 6 miles of pipe. The rack had to accommodate up to 7 inches of thermal expansion, fit in a congested area, allow traffic to pass under it, and provide maintenance access to below-ground piping. Coordination between Barr’s geotechnical, structural, and mechanical teams was critical to verify that the ground could support the heavily loaded rack.
