No problems co-ordinatingroofing work activitiesProject management is morestraightforward because there is less needto co-ordinate different activities. Thelightweight nature of ROOF-PRO supports,and their independence from thewaterproof membrane, allow differenttrades to work in an autonomous way. Aflat roofing contractor can be presentedwith an uninterrupted area of roof. Nosubcontractor is required to form upstands.The M&E trades can access the roof whenit is finished to carry out their work.

Reliability and fastdeliveryWe realise how important it is to makesure systems are delivered on time. AtROOF-PRO, we go out of our way todevelop our operations so we can pullout all the stops when you need us to.Many of our products, includingcustomised frames, can be turnedaround quickly with our dedicatedproduction planning.

SustainabilityCurrent legislative and environmentaltrends call for greater environmentalaccountability in the design and use ofbuildings. The specification of theROOF-PRO System contributes towardsa sustainable building design.

• Non-penetrative – Facilitates airtightenvelope design and eliminates coldbridging (Part L).

• Life cycle – ROOF-PRO System isflexible, adjusting to the long termneeds of the roof and services.

• Increased roof service life –Elimination of vulnerable penetrationdetailing and the facilitation ofmembrane repair.

A risk-free solutionThe non-penetrative design of ROOF-PROavoids the risks of leaks that are oftenassociated with complex detailing atvulnerable junctions on the roof. Contractorsand designers can also have peace of mindthat the ROOF-PRO System is engineered byour design team with stability and weightdistribution as a primary principle.

Roof refurbishment madeeasyThe ROOF-PRO support systems allowaccess to the roof surface, makingrefurbishments and maintenanceefficient and simple. The support baseson our frames can be removedfollowing our method statements,allowing for re-roofing withoutinterruption to building services.

Design and programmingflexibilityBecause ROOF-PRO supports areindependent of the roof assembly, thereis no pressure for premature decisionmaking on the required positioning ofsupports. This allows mechanical andelectrical engineers to establish theirrequirements, and then for ROOF-PRO toprovide the support system that bestmeets these requirements.

Correlation of relevant designinformation permits a co-ordinatedproposal at tender stage that can berevised as the project evolves.

PERIMETER SUPPORTEDUNITS

MECHANICAL UNIT SUPPORT SOLUTIONSThe ROOF-PRO System provides a valuable service solution for plant equipment onflat roofs. Our ability to support some of the largest specialised units such as airhandling units, heat pumps and chillers means that expensive decommissioning ofservices can be prevented during future roof maintenance, resulting in economicalproject co-ordination and services maintenance.

The RP-CS-T supports are a simplesolution for supporting small mechanicalunits such as air handling units that havea wide and stable frame with a lowcentre of gravity. The supports arethreaded for on-site levelling, with a topplate for secure fixing to the corners andcentre positions. Bracing rods or box maybe utilised within the support system foradditional stability.

The RP-PF-T system supports plant thatrequires a broader support base to givegreater stability. The system works by aseries of connected frames withconnecting sliding beams (CSB) to giveflexibility for unit size. Typical equipmentthat may be supported on this frame areAHUs. The particular frame arrangementspreads the loads over a number ofbases.

For heavy units, a suitable supportsolution that works with the roof designis critical for distributing the servicesweight. The RP-POD-T utilises agalvanised steel pod arrangement,facilitating the distribution of the pointloads over four interconnected supportbases.

The POD frame is supported by theflexibility of the pivot and threadedadjusters which keep the equipment leveland clear from the roof surface.
