Precast HVAC Equipment Slabs
Vibration-dampening reinforced pads for outdoor MEP units.
Product Description
Precast HVAC Equipment Base
Product Overview
The Precast HVAC Equipment Base is a specialized foundation slab designed to support outdoor mechanical units, including split-system condensers, VRF units, and pool pumps. Elevating equipment off the substrate is a critical requirement for preventing corrosion, ensuring proper condensate drainage, and facilitating maintenance access.
These precast units replace the inconsistent quality of cast-in-situ pads, providing a factory-levelled, structurally sound platform that can be installed immediately prior to equipment placement.
Material Specifications & Quality
- Concrete: C35/45 structural mix with water-reducing admixtures.
- Reinforcement: A142 steel mesh or fiber-reinforcement to resist flexural cracking under point loads.
- Surface: Trowel-finished to a strict tolerance of ±3mm over 1m to ensure unit stability.
Key Technical Advantages
- Vibration Damping: The high mass of the concrete base absorbs low-frequency compressor vibration, reducing noise transmission and mechanical fatigue.
- Corrosion Control: Lifts the unit housing above ground moisture, irrigation spray, and sand accumulation, significantly extending equipment service life.
- Rapid Installation: Eliminates formwork, mixing, and curing time on site. “Drop-and-place” capability accelerates MEP timelines.
- Load Distribution: Spreads the equipment point loads preventing subsidence in soft landscaping or damage to roof membranes.
