Retro Construction Projects Can Be Challenging

Retro construction projects can be challenging with old roof structures (purlins) incapable of supporting extra platforms or screens. When we encounter this we immediately offer something new: our rafter-mount Span+ platform.

A unique system invented by the Con-form Group Product Development Centre, Span+ features a prefabricated design with trusses that distribute loads evenly out to the rafters. They can be up to 10.5 metres - or more - apart. Each platform is unique - our in-house engineers analyse HVACR equipment weight, live loads and safety factors individual to each project and design the platform accordingly.

Generations ahead of traditional platform structures, Span+ is 75% lighter than structural steel yet it has the capacity to support HVACR plant equipment as well as our acoustic-visibility screens. The bespoke columns require minimal penetration (with tin snips) so there is no need for hot works on the roof. And, like all Con-form Group products it is covered by our 25 year warranty.
