Rooftop Pipe and Equipment Support Systems

The proper selection of pipe and equipment supports is critical to managing dead weight on a rooftop and the overall performance of the roofing system. No matter how large or small the pipes or equipment are, improper support apparatuses and installation processes will inevitably lead to a breach in the roofing system. This course evaluates different types of pipe and equipment support systems and reviews the key steps in designing and installing a system that will successfully manage loads, as well as thermal movement and vibration, eliminating roof penetrations.

Upon completion of this course, the Learner should be able to:

• Describe engineered pipe and equipment support systems, how they are constructed, and the advantages associated with using this these systems.
• Specify the preparation and installation of an engineered pipe and equipment support system in accordance with CSI 3-Part Master Specification – Section 07 72 00.
• Identify the components of an engineered pipe and equipment support system, and explain the assembly and installation process.
• Illustrate the mechanical benefits of an engineered pipe and equipment support system.
• Discuss the design process and the options available during each stage of the process.
