Case Study: T echnip: Permanent load monitoring in power sta Technip: Permanent load monitoring HBM measurement technology increases safety and e?ciency in power station piping Inspecting constant hangers and rigid holders in power stations has so far involved high personnel expenses. T echnip, a globally operating plantmanufacturer, uses HBM measurement technology to automate permanent load monitoring and thus ensure an increased level of safety and e?ciency. Piping in power stations needs to withstand considerable loads. Extreme temperatures and high pressure are not uncommon - conditions causing huge thermal strain and likely to overload the pipes. For this reason, so-called constant hangers are used for installing the pipes; they compensate for thermally induced movements. However, for
