Gravity Support Design
ISAT Gravity Support Design Services for MEPF Utilities
The International Building Code established new standards for MEPF utility supports in 2000, requiring they be designed per the ASCE 7 and stamped by a registered professional engineer (PE). This put a tremendous burden on contractors, who were not widely trained to meet the demanding new obligations of the IBC. As customers expressed frustration with the new challenges they were experiencing, ISAT’s team of engineers, designers and modelers worked to develop innovative code compliant solutions.
When engineering for seismic and gravity support design, ISAT frequently utilizes lean design methods comprised of off the shelf components. By purposely avoiding structural shapes with welding requirements in favor of easy to assemble strut products, customers benefit from reduced field labor and improved construction schedules. ISAT’s patented seismic and gravity support components, have also been designed specifically to drive down material cost, improve product availability, lead times, and ease installation. The application of both product and service offerings have proven to be the lowest installed cost solutions available on the market.
ISAT is the industry leader in seismic and gravity support design for mechanical, electrical, plumbing and fire sprinkler (MEPF) systems.
