ROOF REFURBISHMENT MADE EASY


ROOF-PRO supports are quickly and simply positioned on the roof finish without
penetrating or damaging the membrane. Building services and equipment are
supported above the finished level of the roof providing clearance, which
facilitates maintenance and re-roofing without expensive decommissioning of
building services.

SUPPORTS FOR LADDERS & CABLE TRAYS

CABLE MANAGEMENT SOLUTIONS


A range of cable tray and ladder support systems is provided for the effective
management of rooftop cabling. Utilising the TAB support bases our cable
management solutions provide effective clearance and flexibility for future
changes in the buildings services needs.

S M A L L C A B L E T R AY The TAB utilises a single broad base that


provides effective non-penetrative
support for cable tray runs carrying low
pipe and cable volumes.
Installation is simple with each cable
tray support comprising galvanised
studding that permits locating and
levelling of service runs.

MEDIUM TO LARGE Where there is a project requirement for


C A B L E T R AY / L A D D E R medium to larger cable tray volumes
then the TAB-C 500, 750, and 1000
provide sturdy yet flexible support.
Each support consists of two height
adjustable TAB supports with an open
channel at widths of 500, 750 or
1000mm, with bespoke sizes available
upon request.

M U LT I P L E The TAB-2C system provides support for


T R AY S / L A D D E R S multiple tiers of cabling on twin support
beams. The system is designed to allow
a high density of service support with
minimum space implications. Capacity
can be easily increased with the
TAB-C 500/750/1000 EK, which extends
the TAB support from one to two tiers.
The extender kit can also be retro-fitted,
providing lifecycle flexibility for future
installations.

SUPPORT FOR PIPES

PIPE SUPPORT SOLUTIONS


The ROOF-PRO range of pipe support solutions utilise our specialist components so
pipes will be secure and stable. The non-penetrative base supports aid flexibility in
the positioning and installation of pipes, facilitating future re-routing and
maintenance access.

SMALL TO MEDIUM For small to medium pipes the RP-PH The threaded upright supports are

finitely adjusted on site so that the pipes can
retain the required clearance regardless of
the fall on the roof. The galvanised frames
provide the hanging system with a sturdy
framework utilising a PACS adjuster or
pivoting leg for frame height adjustments.
The TAB-P support system can be used
on site to support a run of lightweight
pipes up to 50mm in diameter. The TAB
system supports pipes on an open
channel allowing for positioning of the
pipe clips. The threaded adjuster on the
TAB is adjustable to accommodate roof
falls, aiding the levelling of pipes.

MEDIUM TO LARGE PIPES The RP-P-T system is designed to


provide flexible yet sturdy support for
medium to large pipes. The system
provides ample clearance for access to
the roofing membrane for re-roofing
and maintenance. On the threaded
supports 80mm of thread should be
visible at the highest point of the roof
to allow for subsequent re-roofing.
Bracing to supports can be provided by
ROOF-PRO where necessary.

LARGE PIPES For larger pipes, the RP-P-POD system


provides a solid support for large pipes.
Utilising the pivot bases and threaded
adjusters the system of supports still has
the flexibilty of the other ROOF-PRO
systems whilst utilising channel beams for
greater stability. The system is flexible
enough to accommodate additional bases
spreading the load over a greater area.

SUPPORT FOR DUCTS

DUCT SUPPORT SOLUTIONS


The ROOF-PRO duct support solutions maintain ducting in place on a roof at the
required target height. The ductwork system can be designed to be supported
from above or below in combination with other services such as pipes and cables
whilst retaining the integrity of the roofing assembly.

SMALL TO MEDIUM The TAB-D system clamps the duct at


DUCTS the target height utilising a solid base
support with twin threaded uprights.
The system allows for changes in height
and variation in duct sizes. There are
three standard support beam sizes of
500mm, 750mm and 1000mm.
Bespoke sizes are also available.

LARGE DUCTS For larger ductwork, with a top height


greater than 1000mm, the RP-D-T
system is recommended. This system can
be designed to work with virtually any
sized duct run in parallel with other
systems.

M U LT I P L E D U C T For ductwork that runs in parallel and of

ROOF-PRO SYSTEMS
SUPPORT FOR AIR HANDLING UNITS, HEAT PUMPS & CHILLERS

MECHANICAL UNIT SUPPORT SOLUTIONS


The ROOF-PRO System provides a valuable service solution for plant equipment on
flat roofs. Our ability to support some of the largest specialised units such as air
handling units, heat pumps and chillers means that expensive decommissioning of
services can be prevented during future roof maintenance, resulting in economical
project co-ordination and services maintenance.

P E R I M E T E R S U P P O RT E D The RP-CS-T supports are a simple


UNITS solution for supporting small mechanical
units such as air handling units that have
a wide and stable frame with a low
centre of gravity. The supports are
threaded for on-site levelling, with a top
plate for secure fixing to the corners and
centre positions. Bracing rods or box may
be utilised within the support system for
additional stability.

SMALL TO MEDIUM The RP-PF-T system supports plant that


UNITS requires a broader support base to give
greater stability. The system works by a
series of connected frames with
connecting sliding beams (CSB) to give
flexibility for unit size. Typical equipment
that may be supported on this frame are
AHUs. The particular frame arrangement
spreads the loads over a number of
bases.

L A R G E H E AV Y U N I T S For heavy units, a suitable support


solution that works with the roof design
is critical for distributing the services
weight. The RP-POD-T utilises a
galvanised steel pod arrangement,
facilitating the distribution of the point
loads over four interconnected support
bases.
The POD frame is supported by the
flexibility of the pivot and threaded
adjusters which keep the equipment level
and clear from the roof surface.

SUPPORT FOR CONDENSERS

CONDENSER UNIT SUPPORT SOLUTIONS


The ROOF-PRO PF range is developed in a number of standard designs to support
external condenser units. The PF range has been designed for maximum stability
taking into account the weight and height of the units.

SYSTEM OPTIONS
The ROOF-PRO range of condenser
supports comprises various frames and
connecting slide beams to provide a
flexible support system. The PF designs
can support multiple condensers and can
be used in combination for larger
installations.
Each frame design supports quick and
simple installation requiring no drilling or
on-site fabrication, just standard fixings.
Standard design options are available, or
we can design a support system to suit.

WALKWAYS, STEP-OVERS AND ACCESS PLATFORMS

ACCESS SYSTEM SOLUTIONS


The ROOF-PRO range of access solutions is engineered to aid workers safe
passage over or around service equipment on flat roofs. Each system is designed to
BS 5395 and the requirements of the roof layout, with non-penetrative support
bases providing stability and flexibility.

WA L K WAY S Walkway designs provide personnel


protection from trips and falls around
service equipment and parapet edges.
The installation is customised to the roof
layout offering unimpeded pedestrian
access to congested areas. Walkways are
fabricated to include guard rails and open
mesh flooring made from galvanised mild
steel. Each design includes ROOF-PRO
support bases to provide easy positioning
and levelling.

STEP-OVERS The ROOF-PRO step-over solutions


provide personnel free movement around
the roof overcoming impeding features
that may cause injury. Each step-over is
engineered to the particular requirements
of the roof and designed to comply with
BS 5395. There is no concern for
penetrative fixings or trying to get the
step-over level. The ROOF-PRO pivot and
threaded support bases can be adjusted
on site and moved easily for maintenance
access.

A C C E S S P L AT F O R M S For servicing plant and equipment we


can design maintenance access platforms
that work with your mechanical units so
as to allow engineers unimpeded access
that is secure and stable.
Produced from hot dip galvanised
components, the freestanding platform
caters for on-site levelling via the
threaded bases elevating the platform to
the required height.
