Supporting the Systems That Support Comfort
What We Reinforce
- Rooftop Equipment Pads – Distributing concentrated loads across roof structures
- Ceiling-Hung Ductwork – Preventing sag and maintaining proper pitch
- Large Exhaust Fans – Managing vibration and operational loads
- Equipment Platforms – Creating stable mounting surfaces where none exist
Why Reinforcement Can't Be Skipped
- Building Integrity Protection
Roofs and ceilings weren’t always designed for today’s HVAC loads. Adding equipment without proper support risks costly structural damage. - Safety First
Failed supports don’t just damage equipment—they create hazards for occupants below. Professional reinforcement eliminates these risks entirely. - Code Requirements
Building inspectors require engineered support systems for mechanical equipment. We ensure your installation passes inspection the first time. - Long-Term Performance
Properly supported equipment runs quieter, lasts longer, and maintains efficiency. Vibration and stress from inadequate support accelerates wear.
Preventing Future Problems
Proper reinforcement eliminates issues before they start:
- Ceiling tiles that pop out from duct movement
- Visible sag in long duct runs
- Equipment that shifts or settles over time
- Noise transmission through inadequate isolation
Suspended Equipment Solutions
Sometimes ground or roof mounting isn’t practical. We engineer suspended support systems for:
- Fan coil units in tight ceiling spaces
- Ductwork routing through occupied areas
- Equipment serving upper floors in multi-story buildings
Roof Structure Considerations
Bar Joist Systems, Wood Truss Roofs, Concrete Deck Structures, Older Building Retrofits
Vibration Isolation Integration
Reinforcement and vibration isolation work together. We design support systems that remain rigid under static loads while allowing isolation systems to function properly during operation.
Seismic Considerations
In seismic zones, equipment restraint matters as much as support. We incorporate bracing and restraints that meet local seismic codes while maintaining system functionality.
