I'm working on a design of SSIV subsea skid. Piping layout is just a short line with two in-line valves (control valve + check valve). Both ends are diverless connectors which will connected to flexible riser in future. There are tubular supports which are welded on the skid floor,and support the pipe by clamping.

My concern is the tubular supports. Is it allow piping to slide or it should be considered as fix support? Since it's should not have more than one fix support on the pipe to avoid thermal expansion force.

Its usually fixed at one end (anchor) and guided at the other.
