Power Generation

CPA provides pipe suspension equipment to all types of power plants worldwide, from coal, oil or natural gas-fired plants, to those using nuclear or renewable energy sources to generate electricity.

The piping systems within coal, oil or natural gas-fired power plants are subjected to extremely high temperatures. Therefore, it is vitally important to install a pipe support system which ensures that stresses caused by such high temperatures are minimised thus preventing damage to the piping system itself.

Due to the potential risks involved in the operation of nuclear power plants, a reliable and durable pipe support system is essential. CPA’s high quality and safety standards, along with its rigorous testing of finished products, ensures that its products are fit for purpose in the most critical environments.

See below some examples of the many major projects that CPA has successfully completed within the power generation industry:
