To achieve this, Allied first had to assess the existing rooftop and establish what locations on the roof could safely support the new loading from the frame. We then created a 3D model of the existing site conditions to ensure there would be no clashes.

​

Once we were satisfied we had locations that were both structurally safe and constructable, we create the model of the mounting frame and connection to the rooftop. Our design also included access steps with a fall arrest.

​

By adding BIM methodologies to traditional rooftop design, we created a robust design that was easy for the site provider to visualise
