RC Vs Steel Piperack

The document compares RC (reinforced concrete) and steel piperacks. It discusses their technical reliability, constructability, and cost. RC piperacks are more fireproof, seismic resistant, and require no maintenance, while steel piperacks allow for easier modification. RC piperacks take longer to construct due to on-site pouring and curing of concrete, while prefabricated steel structures have faster erection times. The cost comparison lists the units and volumes of materials needed for the foundations, structures, and fireproofing of each type.
