EasyMech CR | Concrete HVAC Platform Solution

Project Summary: Con-form Group successfully delivered a retrofit EasyMech CR platform system for an existing school requiring new HVAC equipment on their concrete roof. The penetration-free surface mounting system eliminated the need for costly structural modifications or roof membrane damage, while integrated acoustic screening protected students and staff from equipment noise. The project was completed during school holidays with zero disruption to educational activities.

Project Challenge

The school required urgent HVAC upgrades to improve classroom comfort but faced significant constraints with their existing concrete roof structure. Traditional mounting solutions would have required penetrating the roof membrane, risking leaks and costly waterproofing repairs. The retrofit nature of the project meant working within tight budget constraints while maintaining the building's structural integrity.

The school environment demanded special consideration for noise control, as HVAC equipment noise could significantly impact learning environments. Additionally, the installation needed to be completed during limited school holiday windows to avoid disrupting classes, requiring a fast and efficient installation process.

Key Challenges

Avoid penetrating existing concrete roof membrane and waterproofing
Minimise noise impact on classrooms and learning environments
Complete retrofit installation during limited school holiday timeframe
Work within educational facility budget constraints
Ensure compliance with AS/NZS1170 and education facility requirements

‍

Solution

Con-form Group's EasyMech CR system provided the perfect retrofit solution with its surface-mounting design that required zero roof penetrations. The system's unique EasyFoot CR© Anti-Vibration Anti-Noise Technology pads were height-adjustable to accommodate the roof's existing slopes while providing superior vibration isolation to minimise noise transmission to classrooms below.

The lightweight modular design enabled rapid installation during the school holidays, while integrated Acoustic+ screening was installed around the platform perimeter to shield noise from the new HVAC equipment. The complete system was engineered to support the required equipment loads while maintaining the integrity of the existing roof structure and waterproofing systems.
