SUPPORTING HOW TO DELIVER


R


oof-Pro Systems are designed to provide a future-proof, free- standing solution for supporting building services on a range of flat roof designs. The solution is flexible and efficient, supporting services from cable runs to 25,000kg plant-rooms. Every Roof-Pro support system is designed to meet the requirements of the specific roof structure to provide stability, load management, and building clearance, ensuring services are fully supported without the need for penetrative design details to the waterproofing.


The Objectives: • Provide a safe and stable support method


• Avoid any penetrations of the waterproofing build-up, and hence Part L, cold bridging, and difficult weather-proofing details.


• Design supports with sufficient building clearance that facilitates access to the waterproofing for future maintenance and renewal.


• Manage the loads effectively appropriate to the roof build-up.


• Provide safe access to services where required.


• Simplify the build process and speed up build schedules.


The environment in which we operate:


Buildings are becoming more complex with sophisticated building services becoming the norm, which are now often supported at roof level. The “flat roof” (or low slope continuously supported membrane roof, to give its correct description) should be protected with no compromise. Low slope roofs offer an ideal opportunity to exploit premium space and can be used to support services in a secure and safe location. However, the primary function of any roof is waterproofing the building envelope. Project teams do no favors for the building owner when they install services in such a manner as to make maintaining
