OVERVIEWThis project we provided 3 of our Series 2 non penetrating platforms with Soundshield acoustic screens to effectively house a range of HVAC equipment on the roof. The equipment internally acts as ballast for the enclosures to cope with wind loading. This innovative solution was seamlessly integrated with the surrounding screens to effectively conceal all plant equipment visually and acoustically. The raised mesh deck, upon which the units are mounted, offers 70% free area. These systems allowed the main contractor to continue and complete the building up to the final roof stage without having to worry about secondary steelwork for the plant enclosures which would have required weatherproofing and taken significantly longer to install. In contrast, these modular, pre-engineered, kit-form systems arrive on-site in crane-liftable packs and can be installed within just a few days with no roof penetrations.Key features- Series 2 freestanding deck to support the units with no roof penetrations.- Soundshield acoustic panels providing a 28db reduction.- Conforms to BS EN 516 2006 and BS EN 1090-3 2008InstallationThe installation was successfully completed in just 3 days by a dedicated team of 3. Thanks to the flat-packed modular solution and detailed instructions, the entire process proceeded seamlessly, with no issues of missing parts or product waste.DesignThe design, developed by our in-house design team, featured a non-penetrating deck system specifically engineered to support the equipment without compromising the integrity of the roof structure. The Soundshield screens are imperforate, acoustically reflective panels which fix to the back of the aesthetic finish and create a barrier achieving a weighted sound reduction of 28dB, maintaining both functionality and aesthetics. The design was meticulously tailored to meet all roof load requirements and plant equipment specifications, ensuring compliance with technical standards. Additionally, it allowed for an impressive 70% free airflow through the plant deck, supporting optimal ventilation and system performance while preserving the visual appeal of the installation.

OVERVIEWThis project utilized our non-penetrating Series 3 plant deck with a mezzanine level and stairway, which maximized the space efficiency by creating another plant area above the roof. This was effectively screened off with our continuous Standard Screen powder coated slat, which integrated seamlessly into the plant decks. The 70% free area of the Series 3 surface ensured airflow between levels to fulfil the plant equipment manufacturer's requirements.Key featuresSeries 3 platform providing a secure, non-penetrating deck to support the units.Standard Screen PPC slats to visually conceal plant equipment Mezzanine level to maximize spatial efficiency.Conforms to BS EN 516 2006 and BS EN 1090-3 2008InstallationThe entire installation was completed in just three days by a team of five installers, thanks largely to the modular design of the system. The prefabricated components were manufactured offsite in our factory in Leeds and delivered ready for rapid assembly, significantly reducing onsite construction time and labour requirements. This modular approach not only streamlined the installation process but also minimised disruption to ongoing site operations. The result is a fully functional, acoustically treated rooftop solution that delivers on structural integrity, operational efficiency, and environmental performance, all within a remarkably short project timeline.DesignThis solution maximized the use of limited space by incorporating a mezzanine level accessed via a hand-railed step ladder. Our I-Bearer beam was utilized to provide a clear-spanning structural element, ensuring both strength and efficiency. The standard screens were continuous on the outside making a very tidy finish and screening off the equipment on both levels.

OVERVIEWDue to the highly constrained space along the side of the building, this custom-designed Acoustic+ enclosure was engineered with overhead bracing to eliminate the need for internal post supports. This design maximized usable space without obstructing airflow or maintenance access. To blend seamlessly with the building’s exterior, the screen slats were powder-coated in a complementary finish, effectively concealing the HVAC equipment while maintaining a clean and modern appearance. This modular approach, paired with a bespoke design, successfully overcame spatial limitations without compromising acoustic performance, visual appeal, or project timelinesKey features- Series 1 platform for a secure, non-penetrating rooftop solution.- Acoustic + panels providing a 33db + NRC 1.0 reduction.- Overhead bracing removing the need for internal post supports. - Conforms to BS EN 516 2006 and BS EN 1090-3 2008InstallationTo streamline the installation process and minimize disruption on site, the enclosure's base and side panels were pre-fabricated in our factory in Leeds. This approach not only ensured higher precision and quality control but also significantly reduced the time and labor required during the final installation phase. As a result, the total on-site installation time was reduced to just three hours, allowing the project team to meet tight scheduling requirements and minimize impact to ongoing site operations.DesignDue to the highly constrained and narrow access space along the side of the building, a standard acoustic enclosure design would have been impractical. To address this challenge, a custom-engineered Acoustic+ enclosure was developed with a unique structural configuration. This bespoke design incorporated overhead bracing, which eliminated the need for internal post supports. By removing internal bracing, the design maximized usable internal space while maintaining structural integrity, acoustic performance, and ease of maintenance access.

OVERVIEWThis combination of Series 3 platforms and 310m of Speedscreen made for an excellent solution for mounting equipment and screening off ductwork. Also included were two screened walkways for access between roof areas. The system utilized a ballast-weighted design, which meant that no roof penetrations were required during installation. This preserved the integrity of the waterproofing membrane and reduced the risk of leaks or long-term structural issues—an ideal solution for retrofits or sensitive roof structures.
