Rod Stiffener Analysis
Rod Stiffener Pre-Analysis
Every project is unique, so don’t settle for a standard “one size fits all” solution because, chances are, it won’t provide the optimal solution.
The RS Pre-Analysis tool calculates with precision which suspended equipment needs rod stiffeners and which don’t.
Using project specific information, we can provide a custom solution that is tailored to you and will optimize the contractor’s
labor savings.
How does it help the contractor?
Labor Avoidance: The contractor doesn’t have to install brackets
Passing Risk: Vibro-Acoustics provides a stamped calculation and assumes the risk big
