Easy to Assemble & Install

联合国rooftop walkway systems, access platforms, and crossover systems are available as factory assembled systems (for built-up, membrane and urethane foam systems only) or as assemble-on-site components.

Each system is built with lightweight metal grating and features special anchoring hardware requiring no roof penetration. Best of all, rooftop walkway systems and work platforms from Unistrut Service Company are versatile and adapt to virtually any roofing system.

我们的设计易于组装和由一两个工人安装,而无需使用专用工具,在大多数情况下,不使用起重机或起重机。

非穿透屋顶夹具和支撑

确保员工和承包商的安全性,同时防止屋顶损坏,这可能会构成重大挑战。橡胶垫可以在雪天气中捕获水或覆盖,而木结构或露台块在暴露于热量和水分时不能很好地保持。由结构钢制成的人行道为屋顶和下面的支撑结构增添了重大载荷。

联合国rooftop walkways can attach to roof seams using non-penetrating clamps or rubber bases to allow workers of all sizes to safely walk on the roof in all types of weather without damaging the roof. These same systems work equally well on membrane, built-up, foam and coated roofs because the walkways protect against puncture, abrasion and wear while providing a safe, clearly defined, anti-skid walking surface.

There are a variety of mounting options available regardless of your roof’s composition or pitch.

Secure Installation on Standing Seam Rooftops

对于站立的接缝屋顶,我们的每个屋顶系统都配备S-5!夹具,以确保强大而安全但非穿透连接不会损害您的屋顶或缺乏保修。我们的屋顶系统的安装允许各种尺寸的工人在防滑表面安全行走,而不会引起接缝失真,“洗碗”或有害压力。

非分散频道的多功能性

Contractors have long hailed Unistrut framing channel as one of the most versatile building materials on the market. Building pros choose Unistrut because it is easy to work with.

Thanks to the material’s innovative design, time-consuming fabrication steps such as cutting and welding are minimized or even eliminated during most installations. These benefits also make Unistrut an easy choice for people with little or no building experience.

安全步骤,踏板和平台

Combine Unistrut framing channel with United Interlock Grating to create walkways and platforms that prevent skids, slips, and falls.

United Interlock Grating comes in two standard surfaces:slotted/smooth and anti-skid.

Anti-skid is typically specified when safe walking conditions are important. Dieformed teeth in the transverse ribs offer 360° of shoe-gripping traction even when the grating is wet, oily, muddy, or icy.

United Interlock Grating is available in a variety of zinc coatings:

  • Pre-Galvanized Zinc (PG)
  • Electroplated (EG)
  • Perma-Gold (ZD)
  • 热蘸

Cost-Efficient Pre-Assembly

联合国reduces labor costs by minimizing time spent drilling and cutting. Unistrut also eliminates many of the headaches associated with inaccurate measurements during the quote phase (e.g., dimensional variations in areas assumed to be plumb and square). These surprises often require costly in-the-field modifications, especially when working with structural steel. Unistrut channel can save contractors time and money with its easy-to-assemble, modular design that reduces the need for cuts and welds.

But did you know Unistrut can be even more cost-effective thanks to pre-assembly? With walkway installations, pre-assembling the Unistrut to the grating can save hundreds of hours of labor.

联合国Service Company can kit, stage, and even pre-assemble significant portions of your installation in our shop to drastically save you time and money.

Engineered Rooftop Systems

任何成功建筑项目的钥匙都是双重的:正确的材料和易于遵循的计划。

By partnering with Unistrut Service Company, you can purchase all of the materials and engineering drawings needed to complete your project from a single source.

Please note: Drawings below are generic details to show design intent only. The drawings will help you gain a better understanding of engineered rooftop walkway design, but they are not intended for construction purposes because each system is application specific.

Your rooftop walkway system will likely include sections that are less than 10 feet in length, and we may need to make modifications to an existing design to accommodate mechanical systems such as rooftop HVAC units, vent stacks, etc.

Rooftop Walkway Applications

Walkways are common rooftop fixtures in areas requiring frequent inspection and maintenance. HVAC units, air handling equipment, and pipe rack systems require frequent access, just to name a few. Accessing these systems poses a number of challenges, including fall hazards and the potential for roof damage due to pedestrian foot traffic.

Walking directly on the roofing surface can cause punctures and excessive wear on rubber roofs (which typically voids the manufacturer’s warranty on membrane roofing materials). It can also cause seam distortion with excessive stress on metal roof panels.

安全,安全的屋顶人行道和非分布的平台消除了这些问题,同时为您的团队提供了跌倒保护。

With the expansion of our sister company, Diversified Fall Protection, Unistrut Service Company has garnered decades of experience in meeting fall protection requirements. Our complete line of in-stock Unistrut materials combined with our expertise in fall protection can create the perfect solution to keep workers safe.

Applications

BEFORE:Climbing from lower levels to upper levels on an exposed roof is unsafe and is a violation of OSHA regulations as well.

AFTER:使用非滑动光栅,集成的楼梯和扶手建造的屋顶人行道。该解决方案可提供符合OSHA的安全性,可安全地进入屋顶的凸起部分。

Handrails and toeboards are all 100% OSHA-compliant and durable.

HVAC访问人行道。

Safety platform for rooftop cooling tower access.

联合国and structural steel rooftop walkways.

联合国rooftop walkway allows safe access to several rooftop air conditioning units.

This rooftop walkway system allows workers to service rooftop units (RTUs) and access all items of the walkway, without contacting the roof.

Case Study: Engineered Rooftop System

With this engineered rooftop system, identifying a solution providing safe rooftop access for our client was easy, but the real question centered on who should complete the build. Our client's preferred contractor was not available, so the client opted to complete the project with the assistance of their facility maintenance personnel.

该项目的细节很简单:设施具有站立的接缝金属屋顶,客户希望确保安装不需要任何屋顶表面的渗透。这是一个共同的要求,因为即使是密封的孔也容易泄漏。

Our client also required a skid-resistant walking surface, handrails, and shop drawings to complete their work. Although the infinite adjustability of Unistrut channel eliminates most cutting, this design did call for some cut-to-length material.

我们用可编程的生产锯在商店中进行了此操作,然后将所有材料捆绑成清晰标记的批次,以便我们的客户可以轻松地确定每个人行道部分所需的作品。完成的500英尺的人行道花了大约一周的时间完成。

One of the challenges with roof walkways is finding a way to secure the walkway without penetrating the roof surface. Our non-penetrating design concept used联合国S-5! clampsto attach the base of the walkway to the roof. The clamps created a solid connection to the roof ribs, eliminating the need to drill holes that might cause leaks.

Thanks to the flexibility of the Unistrut clamping system, walkways can be installed parallel, perpendicular, or diagonally to the rib pattern on a standing seam roof.

The railings and base framing were constructed usingP1000,P1000T,P2346, andP1068channel. To ensure a safe walking surface that can stand up to snow and ice build-up, we specified联合国Anti-Skid Grating(G11282,G12282,G9128)与G714嵌入式垫圈和P3007通道螺母相连。

As is often the case with DIY installation projects, there were some unexpected adjustments in the field. One section of the walkway required re-routing due to structural interferences that were not called out in the original sketches provided by the client. Fortunately, the modular nature of Unistrut channel made it easy to overcome the challenges presented by these modifications.

By using our Design and Materials Program, our client received everything needed to make this project a success.

案例研究:符合OSHA的屋顶走道

A client facility located in Pittsburgh, Pa., featured two buildings with pitched roofs that have been connected with a lower section of flat roof.

Building maintenance personnel required access to both sections of the roof to service HVAC equipment, but were able to access only one side prior to this project.

Due to this roof section's orientation to the sun combined with prevailing winds, the flat lower section tends to be shady and subject to ice buildup and drifting snow during winter months.

Using stock sections of Unistrut framing channel eliminated the need for cutting and welding. Welding on rooftops is particularly problematic because it requires one worker to weld while another watches for sparks flying from the work area. By using Unistrut materials, both workers are able to work on the fabrication of the walkway, which results in reduced labor costs and faster installation times.

最终的屋顶人行道是由联合国特鲁特P1000和P1001以及United Interlock Grating构建的。屋顶的人行道高6英尺,宽2-1/2英尺,并具有脚趾和护栏。

OSHA regulations pertaining to this installation include regulations 1910 and 1926. The rooftop walkway is OSHA-compliant and it has a mid-rail rated at 150 lbs. and a top rail rated at 200 lbs.
