We recently designed and installed an overhead support structure/storage racking system for the Akron Art Museum.  Aluminum extruded Spacesaver rails were attached to the support grid to allow museum curators to pull sections of the storage system into an open area to access artwork. 

The finished installation combines compact storage with ease of access, but the project was difficult because the concrete floor above contains a radiant heating system.  Precise measurements were taken, and our installers drilled holes to avoid penetrating the radiant heat tubing.  A piece of rod was then inserted into each hole was filled with Hilti HIT-HY 150.  Hilti’s HIT-HY150 is a quick cure hybrid adhesive used to anchor rod, rebar, and threaded insert into concrete.

The anchoring system performed flawlessly and was pull tested by an independent company with 100% success.  The finished overhead support grid measures 30′ x 40′ and was constructed using Unistrut P1000, P1001, P1737, P1326, and P1068. 

Quality Hilti adhesive anchoring products and Unistrut channel combined with expert installation staff to make the installation of this overhead support structure a success.  To learn more about overhead support grids, or to request a quote, contact Ohio Service Supply for more information.
