Rooftop Support Systems for Mission-Critical Cooling
Data center HVAC systems support mission-critical infrastructure where downtime is not acceptable. Rooftop cooling layouts are often dense, redundant, and engineered for continuous operation.
Supporting these systems requires more than placing equipment on the roof. Platforms, equipment supports, pipe and conduit supports, walkways, and restraint solutions must work together across the entire layout. RTS provides rooftop support systems structured for large-scale cooling installations, helping maintain consistency across expansive mechanical footprints.

Why partner with rooftop support systems
Data center 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.
- Coordinated Product Categories
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 buildouts common in data center 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.
