Engineered Rooftop & MEP Support Solutions
Protecting Roofs. Supporting Services. Simplifying Installation.
Unitrade DWC-LLC provides engineered support systems and specialist construction products for commercial, industrial and mission-critical projects.
We specialise in non-penetrative rooftop support systems, providing a practical method of supporting MEP services, equipment and access systems while minimising penetrations through the roof waterproofing system.
From individual supports to fully coordinated rooftop solutions
We work with contractors, consultants and specialist installers to develop systems around the requirements of each project.
Non-Penetrative Rooftop Supports
Engineered support systems for pipework, ductwork, cable containment, equipment and other rooftop services without unnecessary penetrations through the roof membrane.

View ProductsOne Roof. Multiple Services. One Coordinated Approach.
Modern rooftops can contain extensive mechanical, electrical and building services.
Pipework, HVAC systems, ductwork, cable containment, plant and access routes all need to occupy the same limited space — while the waterproofing system beneath them must remain protected.
Unitrade takes a coordinated approach. Rather than looking at each support in isolation, we can review the overall rooftop arrangement and develop a support strategy that considers the interaction between different services.
The result is a cleaner, more efficient and maintainable rooftop installation.
Support the Services — Not Through the Roof
Every unnecessary penetration through a waterproofing system creates another interface requiring detailing, installation and long-term maintenance. Our non-penetrative support solutions allow rooftop services and equipment to be supported above the roof surface while distributing loads across an appropriate footprint.

Key Advantages
Protect the Waterproofing
Minimise unnecessary mechanical penetrations through the roof system.
Distribute Loads
Support footprints can be configured to manage imposed loads and bearing pressures.
Reduce Installation Time
Modular systems can significantly simplify installation compared with fabricated support structures.
Improve Coordination
Create organised routes for mechanical and electrical services.
Maintain Access
Support layouts can incorporate access requirements for inspection and future maintenance.
Adapt to Change
Modular arrangements can be altered or extended as building services evolve.
Non-penetrative supports on working rooftops
From Drawing to Rooftop
Every project is different. Our team can review project drawings, roof layouts and MEP service information to develop an appropriate support solution.
Depending on the project requirements, our technical review can consider:
- Equipment and service loads
- Support spacing
- Load distribution
- Roof bearing pressure
- Wind loading
- Frame stability
- Service coordination
- Roof construction
- Access and maintenance routes
- Project-specific environmental conditions
