Designing Roof Pipe Support Systems for Rooftop Durability

Posted by Art Valentz on September 19, 2024

When designing a roof pipe support system, the primary consideration is usually the pipes and conduits themselves. Their dimensions, material, and the fluids traveling through them are important factors to take into account when designing roof pipe supports because you want to make sure that the support systems are sturdy enough to handle peak loads and durable enough to “weather” the environmental impact for years to come. But another major factor that should be taken into consideration is how that roof pipe support system will impact rooftop durability. The right roof pipe support system will not just serve its intended purpose without harming rooftop durability, but if designed the right way, it may significantly increase this durability by redistributing the pipe/conduit load more effectively.
