Pump House supports retail store P
ump House was recently approached by Woodward & Co (Environmental) Limited in Gloucestershire to supply the complete solution for supporting the rooftop building services at a new retail Store in Sheffi eld. Woodward’s, the mechanical services contractor on the project, had a number of diff erent heavy building services that required supporting. This included a 6000kg plantroom, 6000kg generator, two 4500kg air-handling units and a 1150kg air- handling unit.
Using the Pump House Flexi-Heavy Duty range of supports, individual frameworks for each item

of plant were designed and calculated, paying particular attention to ensuring that the correct load management through our frames, back down to the roof fi nish, was achieved.
Pump House met the contractor on-site during the assembly of frameworks to ensure a trouble free installation, prior to the crane lift of the equipment shortly after. AutoCAD drawings were also prepared ahead of the installation, depicting the correct support of each unit as well as pressure and roof loading calculations. In addition, Pump House was also asked to supply the associated step-ups and access
platforms required for the maintenance of the services. These were designed in accordance to British Standards and supplied in kit form for installation after the plant was in situ. The fl exible nature of the systems combined with even load distribution through non- penetrative feet, meant this removed the risk of potential leaks and thermal cold bridging, which can occur with traditional supports breaking through the waterproofi ng.
The lightweight and portable nature of the products made installing the system very simple and fast.
