Industrial sites combine large roofs, spare land and demanding environments. The right mix of rooftop, ground-mount and carport structures depends on what the site offers.

Roof, land or carport

Large shed roofs suit rooftop MMS (clamp-based on metal roofs, anchored/ballasted on RCC); spare land suits ground-mount; parking suits carports. Many industrial sites use a combination.

Environment

Dusty, abrasive or coastal plants push the choice toward hot-dip galvanising for long, maintenance-free life.

Frequently asked questions

Will rooftop mounting void my roof warranty?
Non-penetrative clamp systems preserve metal-roof sheets and warranties where the profile allows; RCC roofs use anchored or ballasted designs.
