Walraven Yeti® 335 Support System
for Rooftop Installations
I0410

As part of the expansion of the Kaserne military facility in Varces, France, avoiding roof penetration was essential when installing supports for rooftop ventilation systems on three new buildings. Walraven developed a support solution that protected the roof structure while providing reliable support for the technical installations.
The main challenge was to install the rooftop ventilation infrastructure without damaging the waterproof roof membrane or the roof structure. The solution had to provide reliable support for ventilation pipes and air ducts while maintaining roof integrity.
In addition, there were strict site conditions due to the high-security nature of the military facility. Access to the construction site was limited and installation had to be completed within a short timeframe.
Walraven was selected to provide a solution based on Walraven Yeti® support feet, including insulation mats to protect the roof surface. The Walraven Yeti® range includes a selection of support feet tailored for different requirements for flat and pitched roofs. They are also made of up to 100% recycled materials (depending on the model), with certified UV resistance and noise reduction properties ensuring durability.
In addition to the rooftop support feet, Walraven supplied complete, modular fixing and support systems for the ventilation pipework and air ducts, allowing quick and easy installation.
By combining Walraven Yeti® support systems with dedicated supports for ventilation services, Walraven provided a practical and roof-friendly solution for the new buildings. The solution provided stable support for pipes and air ducts without damaging the roof membrane.
