Supporting the Systems That Support Comfort

Heavy rooftop units, extensive ductwork, and large exhaust fans create significant structural loads. Proper reinforcement ensures your building safely carries HVAC equipment for decades without sagging, cracking, or failure.

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

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.

Where we are essential

Reinforcement Methods We Use

Structural reinforcement protects your larger HVAC investment. Equipment installed on inadequate support fails prematurely—proper reinforcement ensures decades of trouble-free operation.

Steel Beam Installation

Adding structural members to carry concentrated loads

Column Support Systems

Transferring loads to load-bearing walls or foundations

Truss Reinforcement

Strengthening existing roof truss systems

Concrete Pad Construction

Creating stable bases for ground-mounted equipment
