Roofs can see a good amount of foot traffic from plumbers, satellite technicians, HVAC technicians, painters, and people washing the skylights. There can be damage to the roof due to accidental drops of tools and so many people walking across it. Moreover, workers also need to move safely on the roofs for repairing and maintenance of rooftop equipment.
Usage of Rooftop Plant Platform
A rooftop plant platform provides safe and easy access to machinery and equipment that are installed in top locations like an HVAC unit or air conditioning unit installed on a rooftop. They also help in preventing too much foot traffic to roofs that could be the main cause of puncture damage.
Rooftop platforms are a mix of ladders and platforms that allows workers and technicians to safely access the installed equipment over walls, ducts, pipes, and other obstacles on the rooftop. Such platforms are commonly seen in industrial and commercial buildings with large flat roofs.
If you want to invest in a roof plant platform, choose Con-Form Group, the first fully-fledged engineering company in Australia for HVAC platforms, architectural screening, acoustics, and roof access solutions. They are based in regional NSW and their team can supply, certify, and install according to your project needs and get your roof covered. They are the proud recipients of the Australian Owned badge, which is an organisation established for promoting authentic Australian-owned businesses. Contact them for any type of customised retrofits, new builds, or upgrades related to any kind of rooftop screens, workspaces, and platforms.
Is It Safe?
The rooftop platforms are constructed with highly strong and durable, maintenance-free walkway material. This is to ensure a safe working space in high locations and to prevent damage to the roof area.
The platforms are designed, constructed, and installed in customized sizes and configurations to fit your project needs. The qualities of rooftop plant platforms fit the walkaway platforms used in the construction to ensure safety compliance for the workers.
Benefits of Rooftop Walkaways
Rooftop walkaway is a cost-effective, safe and modular solution that is built from lightweight but extremely strong structural grade aluminium. There is no cutting, welding, or heating work involved. All it needs is just bolt it together. It is built to withstand strong volatile and extreme weather conditions.
Equipment Protected by Rooftop Screens
Heating, electrical and ventilation equipment are important features of commercial buildings but they don’t need to be exposed to be seen. Rooftop screens hide and protect most of the roof-installed equipment.
- HVAC units: These units regulate the temperature and climate inside the building. The units are bulky and can be hidden by screens.
- Rooftop exhaust fans: These fans pull out the air and allow fresh air to enter the building. Large buildings will have many of these silver or metallic rooftop units.
- Ducts and pipework: The ducts and pipework can be seen from the ground level that can be covered and hidden with rooftop screens.
- Cooling towers: Rooftop-installed cooling towers extract heat from HVAC units and can be covered with screens.
Rooftop plant platforms and screens protect your rooftop units and workers by enabling you to comply with workplace safety under Australian standards and state regulations.
