Modular Support Systems for MEP, Piping, and Seismic Applications
Welded and fabricated steel support structures slow down installation, require skilled labour, and cannot be reconfigured once fixed. Modular support systems from PROCON replace fabricated steel with bolt-connected assemblies that install faster, adapt to site changes, and reuse across multiple projects without cutting, grinding, or painting.
We provide modular support systems ideal for construction, MEP, and seismic applications in the Middle East and GCC region. The full PROCON support system range includes pipe hanger supports, MEP framing, seismic restraint configurations, and heavy-duty industrial support assemblies across galvanised steel, stainless steel, and aluminium material options.
At Dutco Tennant LLC, we source MEP support systems and pipe support solutions from established international manufacturers for commercial, industrial, and infrastructure projects across the UAE and GCC, covering all modular pipe support system requirements across the region's most demanding MEP and structural applications.
Quick Assembly Without Cutting or Welding
- Modular steel supports connect through a single one-size-fits-all vibration-proof screw, requiring no welding, drilling, cutting, grinding, or painting at any point during installation
- Twist-Lock and push-and-twist connector systems allow one-handed component assembly, reducing installation time versus traditional fabricated steel support structures
- Seismic restraints and vibration-resistant configurations comply with international seismic standards, confirming suitability for earthquake-zone and vibration-sensitive installations
- Components can be precut, kitted, and preassembled off-site, allowing faster on-site erection and reducing disruption to other trades working concurrently
- Reusable components reduce long-term material cost and waste across phased and multi-project construction programmes
Technical Capabilities Across the Range
