COUNT TO 10...

There are no less than 10 HVAC&R equipment platforms on the roof of this property at Acacia Ridge - a mixed-use of purlin and rafter-mounted platforms.

It is a classic example of how we are able to respond to where HVAC&R units have to be positioned on the roof, the varying weight of these units, and the need to disperse this weight across the load-bearing components of the roof.

Smaller HVAC units were placed on our EasyMech MR platforms. These are penetration-free structures which are installed without the need for hot works. The lightweight frames (only 10kg per m2) were delivered as an easy-to-install flat pack. They were mounted over the purlins and have a live load rating of 5 kPa.

The bigger HVAC units and the shed (we provided the steel frame for it as well) were placed on our innovative Span+ platform. Strong, secure and lightweight (from 19kg per m2) it was attached to the rafters with minimal penetration. It is generations ahead of traditional methods.

The platforms ranged in size from 3.6 x 3.0 metres to more than 26 metres x 7 metres. Like all Con-form Group products they are guaranteed for 25 years.
