When Is A Pizza Not A Pizza?

When it is made out of steel for a rooftop HVACR platform.

After many years of designing and manufacturing super-lightweight platforms, Con-form Group has been involved in a lot of unique projects. This platform on a shopping centre is one of the most unusual being in the shape of a pizza slice.

Due to the angle of the roof not only is the deck a triangle but the frames are also triangulated. They are 200mm high at the top of the roof and measure more than 640mm down-roof. Creating this meant that the platform components had to be made at a lot of different lengths. It is another example of the fact that Con-form Group has never been unable to come up with a solution despite rooftop challenges.

The uniqueness of this project continues with the fact that it has acoustic louvres attached to it. A new release from the Con-form Group Product Development Centre, Acoustic+ LouvreWall combines sound deadening qualities with ventilation of HVACR plant equipment. The louvres are filled with a fibrous absorptive material which has the perfect Noise Reduction Coefficient score of 1.0.
