Equipment Anchorage
ISAT Equipment Anchorage: The International Building Code (IBC) and American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) mandate that projects with seismic design considerations must have engineered anchorage for suspended and floor-mounted equipment. ISAT excels in providing tailored support and anchorage solutions for Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing (MEP) utilities and equipment.
ISAT specializes in designing and sizing anchor connections for interior and exterior equipment directly mounted to the floor, ceiling, housekeeping pads or roofing structures, accounting for seismic and wind forces, even when equipment is placed on vibration isolators. Roof-mounted utilities are exposed to the highest seismic loads in a building and typically experience wind loads that surpass seismic forces.
ISAT Equipment Anchorage
ISAT’s expertise caters to a wide range of niche engineering needs, such as seismic anchorage and analysis for:
- Storage tanks
- Cooling tower structural steel support frame design
- Pipe bridge design and analysis
- Utility crossover walkway design

These extreme loading conditions make roof-mounted systems particularly vulnerable. Balancing these engineering requirements is essential to reduce the quantity of penetrations through the roof membrane, while simultaneously considering the extent of point loading transferred to the roof surface.
With ISAT on your side, you can confidently tackle all your seismic equipment anchorage and support requirements.
