Why partner with rooftop support systems
Life Sciences construction requires coordination, consistency, and rooftop systems that align with strict project specifications. RTS supports these projects with structured product categories that work together across large-scale mechanical layouts, helping teams maintain clarity from design through installation.
- Delegated Design
Through delegated design services, RTS can design and engineer the complete rooftop support system, providing coordinated layouts and submittal documentation aligned with project requirements. - Integrated Rooftop Support Solutions
Platforms, supports, walkways, and restraint solutions are designed to function together across the roof, reducing layout conflicts between trades. - Application-Focused Support Planning
Solutions are applied with consideration for dense cooling layouts and phased build-outs common in life sciences environments. - Installation-Aware Approach
Products are selected and configured with real rooftop sequencing and contractor workflow in mind. - Alignment with Structural and Mechanical Design
Support strategies account for structural tie-in requirements and mechanical routing across the project. - Consistency Across Large Rooftop Layouts
Standardized support approaches help maintain order and repeatability across expansive mechanical installations.
