UNISTRUT Metal Framing

• Unistrut Metal Framing is the 100% adjustable, 100% reusable, bolted solution for your secondary structural steel supports

• Commonly used to support electrical conduit, cable trays, process piping, duct work

• Unistrut is the Original Metal Framing Company

• Still 100% Made in America at our plants in Harvey, IL and Wayne, MI

UNISTRUT

•Industry Standard for Electrical and Mechanical Supports

•Commonly used supports for pipes and conduit sizes from ½” to 6”•Increasingly Being Used in Pre Fabricated Service Modules in Modular Construction Designs

Unistrut Metal Framing System

Overview

Unistrut Channel Profiles

•Standard Channel profile is 1 5/8” by 1 5/8”•Available in deeper and shallow profiles to accommodate the load you are trying to support•Most Channel Profiles are available in 12, 14, or 16 ga.

Unistrut Benefits• Adjustability- The inherent properties of the Unistrut Metal

Framing System allow for the support structure to be positioned or adjusted to suit any changing equipment room layouts (unlike welded steel structures).

• Mechanical Connections- The Unistrut Metal Framing connections allow for installations to be done with standard hand tools thereby eliminating the need for special jobsite welding accommodations.

• Adaptability- The Unistrut Metal Framing System has multiple channel profiles that enable the Unistrut Construction design team to develop a solution to meet virtually a limitless variety of projects.

• Fast & Efficient- The bolt-together design of the Unistrut Metal framing System allows our experienced installation team to finish installations much faster than most welded steel structures allow.

• Design/Assistance- Unistrut can offer design assistance from start to finish.

Roofwalks, Crossovers, Catwalks

Roofwalks Rooftop Walkways

• United Interlock Grating • Lightweight aluminum or pre-galvanized grating

sections reduce overall Roofwalk system dead load on the roofing structure compared to conventional methods (concrete pads, etc).

• Provides a safe walkway for rooftop traffic.Protects the roof from foot traffic and costly repairs.

• Galvanized steel & aluminum panels resist weather.• Attaches to all standing-seam roofs including

metric.• Utilizes non-penetrating roof anchoring systems.• Remains visible during all types of weather (snow,

heavy rain, etc)

Libya Roofwalk

• General Contractor in Libya needed to provide a safe means of access to rooftop equipment.

• Special Considerations:

▫ Located on the coast, material finish was important

▫ Aggressive Schedule

▫ Inexperienced Workforce in Libya
