Roof Products & Systems (RPS) has always been
known as the Roof Curb Specialist so it is no surprise that when the
Trane Company needed a roof curb for a monumental-sized rooftop unit
they turned to RPS. The rooftop unit was so large (roughly 40
feet wide x 92 feet long) that it had to be built, transported, and
lifted in sections. RPS had to design the roof curb system to
not only fit the exterior dimensions of the rooftop unit but all
internal structural systems had to be built to seismic standards
while avoiding the ductwork passages and still providing structural
support at all of the necessary points for the individual rooftop
unit sections. Further complicating the curb design was the
requirement that it be manufactured for final assembly in the field
due to its oversize dimensions. RPS engineered splice systems
allowed for simple bolt-together assembly which greatly eased field
installation. Finally, RPS had to have all of the design and
manufacturing complete ahead of the rooftop units so the erectors
could assemble the curb prior to delivery of the first rooftop unit
section. RPS, which pioneered rapid manufacturing of roof
curbs in only 2 to 5 days, completed this curb with time to spare-
so much extra time that the roofing contractor was able to hang the
curb flashings before any of the rooftop unit was in place!
