Roof-mounted equipment is in demand across Australia. The main concern for the building owner is whether the extra loads imposed by this HVAC or generators or solar panels will not damage the roof membrane. Fortunately, there are solutions offering support to roof-mounted structures.
Con-form Group cohesively works with its structural engineers, mechanical engineers, air conditioning contractors, architects, and related professionals to offer project-specific solutions. Con-form Group offers proprietary plant platforms and acoustic solutions. All the modular systems are easy to assemble. The system stays flexible allowing for changes in the construction phase.
Benefits of surface-mounted platforms for concrete surfaces
- A freestanding and non-penetrating system protects the roof membrane
- The structures have aluminum components with low profile finish and clean lines.
- It accompanies 304 stainless steel fixings with a long-term warranty.
- It is engineered to handle a live load rating of more than 2.5kPa.
- The unique design allows the distribution of the load evenly, which reduces the structural needs of the roof.
- Lightweight at 18kg/m².
- The steel base includes a rubber isolation pad [UV stabilized] to lessen vibrations and dampen sound below the structure.
Benefits of raised surface mounted platforms for concrete & metal deck roofs
- Customized engineered raised platforms increase the airflow and enhance the mounted-machineries performance and durability.
- The platform deck can sit flush with the adjacent floor level.
- Compatible with saw-toothed and high-pitched roofs.
- Offers access under the platform, which simplifies routine maintenance and inspection.
- The extra height allows for integrating equipment with high ducts efficiently.
- The minimum height is 200mm.
- It accompanies 304 stainless steel fixings with a long-term warranty.
- It is engineered to handle a live load rating of more than 2.5kPa.
- The unique design allows the dispersal of the load evenly, which reduces the structural needs of the roof.
- Lightweight at 120kg/m².
The platforms are pre-engineered and the professional engineers from the company you ordered will assemble them on-site.
Why choose an acoustic solution?
Soundshield
Noise pollution is a big issue in the cities. With the Soundshield system, the sound wavefront directions are changed. It acts as reflective barrier and blocks sound from spreading outside the contained space. It is beneficial for the nearby residents.
For vibration isolation and control
- Some types of machinery vibrate and the induced noise frustrates the occupants or nearby residents.
- Currently, new buildings are lightweight, so it is vulnerable to vibration-related issues.
- There are products designed for reducing and isolating vibrations from HVAC units, compressors, generators, and other rooftop machinery.
- The system is designed from elastomeric neoprene. It dampens the vibration 70 times an average, which reduces the vibrating energy transmitted across the building structure and felts by tenants.
- It even functions actively as a shock absorber for machinery, thus the life of moving parts increases.
- The corrugated surface of the vibration isolator system is slip-resistant, so the vibration and noise associated with friction between metals are also reduced.
Aussies need to choose non-penetrating platforms and anti-noise solutions designed to fulfill the required Australian standards. Even ensure the products are certified for wind loads suitable to your region.
