Flare Support Derricks

Steel lattice towers that carry elevated flare risers: bolted, sectioned inside the shipping limit, trial-assembled in the works and hot-dip galvanised.

A flare derrick, as we build it

Height, legs and risers are set by the project design; this model is one example. What we show is how the repeating bolted sections are made, marked and proven.

02 / 07

Legs on a batter

Four tubular legs, stepped down in section with height, supplied inside the 12 m shipping limit and joined by bolted splices.

03 / 07

Bracing that lands on nodes

X-bracing on all 4 faces with a ring beam at every node, which is what lets the tower go up in bolt-up lifts with limited craneage.

04 / 07

Four foundations

Each leg lands on a flared base with gusset ribs and anchor bolts. Four foundations for the whole tower, against the plot a guyed stack needs.

05 / 07

Risers free to expand

The risers run inside the structure rather than holding it up, so gas temperature stops being a structural constraint.

06 / 07

Access

Maintenance platforms at every level that needs one, and a caged ladder the full height.

07 / 07

A repeatable kit

Legs, bracing, ring beams and splices, hard-stamped with mark numbers, trial-assembled in the works, galvanised and shipped flat.

Compare

Choosing a support structure

Four ways to hold a flare up. The derrick earns its place on tight plots, hot gas and multi-flare sites.

01 Self-supported

One foundation, small plot, no maintenance.

Practical up to roughly 70–100 m.

02 Guyed

Lightest and cheapest.

Needs a large plot; ruled out above about 250 °C gas.

03 Derrick

Three or four leg foundations.

Riser free to expand; one derrick can carry several.

04 Demountable derrick

Winches and guide rails lower any one flare to grade.

Maintenance while the others keep running.

Why Allmarc

Experience you can trust.

We fabricate to your drawings and prove the fit in our own bay before anything ships. Open any line for the detail.

Fabricated to your drawings
  • We build to the licensor’s design.
  • We do not compete with the people who send us work.
Proven before it ships
  • Trial-assembled in our bay.
  • Fit-up is settled in Ahmedabad, not on site.
Plate to packed container
  • Procurement, rolling, welding and NDT, coating, insulation.
  • Export packing designed for the journey.
Scale
  • Made in Unit 2, our precision plant for oil and gas; 4 plants at Kanbha, about 6,000 T a month from November 2026.
  • 2,400 tonnes of flare equipment exported to date.
