Elevating Rooftop Maintenance

Still using a stepladder to access and maintain rooftop HVAC units? Think again.

Driven by stringent safety regulations, and escalating replacement costs, building owners are adding permanent maintenance platforms around this heavy, complex machinery. Performing repairs and service is safer, and far more efficient, when personnel don’t have to worry about shaky footing!

As you can see by the images below, this fabricated metal infrastructure takes many shapes. A 4-foot stairway often leads from roof to platform. Sometimes a fixed vertical ladder is used.

The platforms themselves might be a horseshoe or an “L,” depending on the HVAC design. The skilled custom metal fabricators at 3Up Metal Works have built platforms to accommodate a dizzying array of HVAC configurations. Catwalks are often installed to get from one space to another, sometimes snaking through narrow spots.

This new infrastructure represents a marked improvement for many reasons. Workers have flat, spacious areas to set tools. Their standing surface is level and unmoving. Access pieces can be designed to reach different heights, all while maintaining stability.

Installing fabricated metal infrastructure doesn’t necessarily entail roof penetration, either. New assemblies can be tied into HVAC units, or anchored in composite decking. Leak risks are usually non-existent.

Is your rooftop infrastructure at the level you want … or know you need? Contact 3Up Metal Works for a walk-through. We’ll share thoughts on how access can be made safer and better.

Modernizing the infrastructure around HVAC systems helps keep them operating at peak performance. It’s a step in the right direction … and not on a rickety ladder, either!

Plan for Success(ion)!

You likely practice preventive maintenance with your vehicles. Why not your infrastructure?

Infrastructure (especially outdoors) gradually deteriorates over time. If a handrail, stairs, ladder or other piece fails, you face an emergency. Repairs or replacement will cost accordingly.

If someone is injured … no telling how large the bill might ultimately run.

Here’s a solution: Partner with 3Up Metal Works to create an infrastructure maintenance plan. Employ the 80-20 Rule – 80% planning and 20% execution – to avoid crises. Put a plan in place to avoid unwelcome “need it now” situations.

Creating a maintenance plan starts with inspections and write-ups for all your infrastructure. Pieces in the worst condition are addressed first. By proactively replacing a few elements at a time, piece by piece, you can avoid unexpected operational interruptions and costly rush charges.

Drive your organization safely and smartly with infrastructure planning. Contact 3Up Metal Works for details. A maintenance schedule not only keeps things on track, but ensures you’re headed in the right direction.

Teeing Off to Support Our Veterans

Is it golf season yet? Some local courses have been open for weeks already. Regardless of when you prefer to start swinging, the time to break out the clubs isn’t far off!

Speaking of which, 3Up Metal Works supports two area golf events that benefit great veterans-oriented organizations!

We’re again sponsoring the lemonade (vodka optional) stand at the May 8 Veterans Alliance Golf Outing. This gathering, held at spectacular Black Wolf Run Golf Course in Kohler, raises funds for Taskforce Uplift and Caddie School for Soldiers.

Both have interesting backstories. Taskforce Uplift provides resources for children of former military personnel transitioning to civilian life. Caddie School for Soldiers brings veterans to the legendary golf haven of St. Andrews, Scotland, for training as caddies – and healing from physical and emotional injuries sustained during their service.

Golfing spots for the Veterans Alliance Golf Outing are sold out. Sponsorships at different levels are still available. For more information, e-mail KohlerVeterans@Kohler.com.

3Up Metal Works also sponsored the March 15 Irish Open at Stix Golf Entertainment in Germantown! This annual simulator competition supported the Center for Veterans Issues and GPS Education Partners.

Was it fun? Just take a look at these photos. This event sells out months in advance, and for good reason.

Why not join us next year? Play, sponsor or stop in and socialize. The Irish Open is held the Friday before St. Patrick’s Day. Watch for announcements, and be ready to act when sign-ups open!
