Roofing Engineer & Consulting Services
Professional Loading Analysis & Reinforcement Designs
Our in-house roofing engineer will analyze rooftop loading requirements for commercial and industrial buildings nationwide. When businesses expand their operations with new HVAC systems, solar arrays, or mechanical equipment, we ensure their roofs can handle the additional weight safely and efficiently.
Rooftop equipment installations require detailed structural analysis to prevent overloading and maintain building integrity. Our team evaluates existing structures, calculates load capacities, and delivers stamped engineering documents for permit approval. We handle projects ranging from single RTU installations to complete solar array deployments.
Rooftop Engineering Services
Working across the United States and Canada, we provide fast turnaround on structural assessments that meet or exceed local building codes and safety requirements. Our expertise covers:
Pre-installation structural verification
Load distribution analysis
Equipment placement optimization
Complete Rooftop Equipment Analysis & Documentation
Our structural analysis services ensure your roof can safely support new equipment installations. We provide thorough documentation for RTUs, HVAC systems, solar arrays, and other rooftop equipment.
Our Assessment Process and Deliverables
Initial Structural Assessment & Roof Analysis
Our engineers conduct comprehensive evaluations of your existing roof structure using advanced modeling software.
Analysis That Powers Project Success
-
Maximum Load Capacity
Dead & Live Loads
Weight Distribution
Equipment Zones
-
Environmental Factors
Wind Resistance
Seismic Considerations
Snow Load Analysis
Custom Roof Reinforcement Design & Documentation
Based on our analysis, we deliver detailed structural recommendations that specify:
Equipment placement zones
Load distribution solutions
Support system specifications
Reinforcement requirements
Our structural analysis is designed to work within existing building codes to find the available structural capacity for your project. In the case the load being added is particularly heavy, or the building was designed to an outdated code, reinforcements may be required. Our team will work to find the least expensive and invasive reinforcement design necessary to build your project safely.
RTU Installation Coordination & Compliance
We work directly with your installation teams to ensure proper implementation. Our nationwide experience means we understand local building codes and permit requirements. Your documentation package includes:
-
Structural calculations
Load capacity analysis
Support specifications
