There are plenty of reasons for this. In this case, the ravages of time are gnawing away at the foundations of building services systems on the roof of a hotel. The systems are supported by a steel frame construction on concrete beams. Regardless of the load, the concrete beams are cracking and spalling.
The company ENGIE Germany GmbH develops a safety concept with the aim of supporting the steel structure before the foundations lose their load-bearing capacity. Steel feet are installed under the steel frames, next to the concrete beams, which completely take over the load of the systems. The concrete beams then remain in place and no longer have any function.
With the development of the steel feet, the company VERMAY GmbH & Co. KG from Pulheim. A cost-effective support leg was developed and manufactured to meet the requirements of load-bearing capacity, installation height variation and ease of installation. It is ideal for retrofitting under existing systems. In this case, it can be leveled by +- 30 mm. This means that they can be easily installed under existing systems and compensate for a maximum height difference of 60 mm.
