The ConX Chassis Based Modular Pipe Rack System is an ideal solution for the efficient design, fabrication and construction of pipe rack and processing
structures. ConXtech and its growing network of certified fabricators leverage ConXtechs standardized connectors and employ automated manufacturing
technologies to deliver modular and typically brace-free structures. This technology assisted approach accelerates design through construction allowing
industrial facilities to come on-line months or years earlier vs. more conventional structural options.
Standardization around a simple common connection in a structure enables unprecedented efficiencies while significantly reducing risk, complexity
and cost. The design of a ConX structure is dramatically simplified by using a small set of ConX details instead of the hundreds or thousands of unique,
custom designed and hand crafted details used in conventionally designed structures. This system is what ConXtech calls Chassis Based Modular.
Robust ConX connections are at the heart of the system. They are unique in the fact that no field welding is required. They are comprised of a set of four
mating steel connectors that are factory welded onto wide flange beam ends and square columns (HSS or box). Beams are lowered and locked around
the four sides of a square column resulting in a robust bi-axial moment collar. This modular rack comprised of ConX columns and beams is easily
transported and safely and rapidly assembled in the mod-yard (modules) or field (stick-built).
The ConX connections provide an inherently seismic, blast and progressive collapse resistant structural chassis. Standardization streamlines structural design and analysis and enables material optimization. ConX is intuitive to assemble and ideal especially where there is a shortage of qualified and skilled labor.
Since it is based around a bolted connection, the system allows for future expansion and reconfiguration. Structural members and optional accessories
can safely and easily be attached or removed as required. ConXtech has also developed foundation systems, layout tools and templates which ensure
unprecedented accuracy and predictability in the field.

ConX Columns
ConX Beams
ConX Collars
During the field assembly process, ConX beams are Lowered & LockedTM
into place between ConX columns from the top down. The connectors
immediately and easily lock into place resulting in an instantly stable
connection. Mitered vertical edges of the connectors allow four identical
plates to surround a column and form a ConX collar.
Gravity stabilied Lower & Locking connections bring immediate stability to structure without adding bolts.
ConXtech begins working with owners and their design teams early in the process. Most often this is during the site evaluation and feasibility study period.
Conceptual Design
Once the program goals are defined, ConXtechs integration experts collaborate with the team to understand application, loading and other project specific
requirements and then quickly identify the optimal ConX System for the particular project and propose an appropriate framing plan to generate a 3D model.
At this stage ConXtech and/or our certified fabricators can provide budgetary numbers and an estimated fabrication and field assembly schedule.
Design Development
ConXtech has developed ConXCAD digital toolkits to combine the design, fabrication and field assembly processes into an integrated software solution. A
virtual ConX Modular Pipe Rack (Digital Chassis) is quickly configured during the earliest design phase of the project. This automated and systemic approach,
with a finite number of structural elements, enables a revised structural budget to be quickly generated as plans evolve.
Construction Documentation
Creating the documentation required to design, structurally evaluate, and fabricate a steel superstructure conventionally is a time-consuming and fragmented
process. The ConX Digital Chassis provides the basis for the final structural analysis, detailing, as well as all of the data that drives the automated manufacture
of ConX assemblies.
As the piping design progresses, there may be a change in the number of pipe support and anchor load support beams required on the structure. Using Navisworks, ConXtech and the piping designers store saved locations and redline changes directly in the 3D model. Clashes can also be automatically found and then
resolved between the piping and structural steel.
The digital ConX Modular Pipe Rack in Tekla Structures includes an as built level of detail all the way down to every nut and bolt that will be used in the field.
By having this high level of detail, ConXtech electronically extracts all of the Bill of Materials, shop, and erection drawings directly from the 3D model. This rapid
extraction of data from a single database helps compress the project schedule and increase the volume of manufacturing production that can be processed.
ConXtech also automatically extracts CNC information that drives cut and drill machines in the shop to help insure fabrication quality and field fit-up.
The 3D model contains all of the profile, weight, piece mark, as well as grid and top of steel information. This allows ConXtechs field superintendents and project
managers to easily plan shipping truck loads and the erection sequence of steel by simply picking the pieces in the 3D model. Isometric erection drawings and
sorted erection order reports are then automatically generated from the 3D model.
