A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
A pipe supporting device is used to support an exposed pipe of a roof. The device includes a base having a flat bottom for resting on the roof, an upright member of a length which is connectable to the base and a receiving portion which is connectable to the upright member for receiving and supporting the exposed pipe. The length of the upright member can be altered by a user at a job site to thereby provide a device having a desired overall height. A upright steel reinforcing component is first installed on the roof and the pipe supporting device is then placed over the reinforcing component so that the component is received within a bottom opening provided on the base of the device. The reinforcing component provides additional structural support for the pipe supporting device in extreme environments, such as hurricane zones.
