Modular MEP support system for versatile construction solutions

Modular MEP support system for versatile construction solutions

We are committed to providing seamless on-site installations that reduce labour costs and time in today’s modern construction practices. Modular MEP supports significantly improving industrial projects’ efficiency and effectiveness by leveraging pre-fabrication, advanced planning, and collaborative approaches.

We, Am-Tech Engineering Services, Pune, have been manufacturing strut channels (formerly known as C1 and C2 channels by NTPC and BHEL) since 1997. We were one of the first manufacturers in India to start these products and services. Between 2002 and 2005, we have been closely associated with NTPC and BHEL in standardising this product’s technical specification and quality policies, which we call “flexible cable tray support system”.

The strut channel system, also known as a channel framing system or support channel system, is a versatile framing solution widely used in construction, especially for supporting mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) systems.

Benefits of modular MEP supports

Time efficiency: With MEP systems prefabricated off-site, installation on-site can be significantly sped up.

Cost savings: Better quality control during manufacturing reduces labour costs and minimal rework. The combination of pre-fabricated components and ease of installation can lower overall project costs.

Safety improvements: Off-site fabrication reduces on-site hazards and minimises workers’ time on scaffolding or ladders.

Quality control: Controlled factory environments ensure more consistent quality checks and compliance with standards.

Installation considerations

Load specifications: Ensure the channels are suitable for the weight and load requirements of the systems they will support.

Spacing: Ensure proper spacing of channels and supports to maintain structural integrity and safety.

Compliance: Adhere to local building codes and regulations, especially for critical systems such as electrical and plumbing (fire safety).

Corrosion resistance: Using corrosion-resistant materials or finishes for outdoor or high-humidity environments to ensure long-term durability.
