Client:
Meridian Management

Project Type:
New construction

Building Features:
Special parapet conditions

Structural Attachment Considerations:
Through bolted fasteners for concrete
Chemical fasteners for concrete

Products Supplied, Installed and Tested:
SM-81-4-10 Wall anchors
SM-TRA Threaded rod assemblies
SM-PLT Back plates
SM-81-8-8 Wall anchors
SM-TRA-ADH-7 Chemical anchor fasteners

Objective:
Design and install a complete OSHA and ANSI/IWCA I-14.1 compliant suspended maintenance system. Anchors were installed on a concrete parapet wall to avoid penetrations into the roof slab. Chemical anchors were used to avoid through-bolting which would leave bolts visible on the outside of the building. Anchors in the mechanical room area were through-bolted, since aesthetics were not a consideration here. Summit Anchor Co. also certified and tested these anchors after installation was complete.
