Heavy-duty support frames for elevated HVAC installations

Modular support solution

Walraven proposed a bespoke solution using the Walraven Maxx system, providing the strength, flexibility and modularity required for both installations.

Support 1: High-level pipe bridge

The first structure was designed to support pipework above a large HVAC unit measuring 9 metres long, 5 metres wide and 3 metres high.

Using a combination of Walraven Maxx 150 and Maxx 120 profiles, Walraven developed a robust support frame tailored to the available space and project requirements. The design also accounted for wind and snow loads to ensure long-term structural reliability.

Support 2: Elevated HVAC platform

The second structure involved supporting a 3-ton HVAC unit measuring 2 × 2 metres at a height of 3 metres above ground level, while also providing a surrounding maintenance walkway.

To achieve this, Walraven combined the Walraven Maxx system for the primary load-bearing structure with the Walraven RapidStrut® system to support the routing of pipes and cables. The result was a safe, stable and easy-to-install solution that also provided convenient maintenance access.

Delivering efficiency and reliability

By using Walraven Maxx and RapidStrut® systems, RTS Srl was able to complete both installations efficiently while meeting all structural and safety requirements.Working with a single supplier for both the support structures and technical expertise helped streamline the project, resulting in a high-quality installation that combined flexibility, safety and ease of assembly.
