About Our Company
Advanced Support Products is nationally known as the “original
innovator” of the equipment support platform. We manufacture
and market a unique patented family of non-penetrating rooftop supports
including equipment platforms and antenna mounts to the telecommunications
industry, as well as pipe support systems and equipment support platforms
to the HVAC, mechanical, electrical and commercial roofing industries.
Our History
In 1996, Advanced Support Products (ASP) was formed with a management
team with a combined expertise of half a century in building materials,
commercial roofing, HVAC and general contracting, including telecommunications
site building. With an eye on the future and a recognized awareness
of the telecommunication industry's need for a more efficient way
to install equipment supports and antenna mounts, Advanced Support
Products received its first patent in 1998 for a new type of equipment
base. This innovative base forms the nucleus and is the building block
for an ever-growing family of products designed to provide a better
structurally engineered support system, while also ensuring a significant
increase in the bottom line profit margin on construction cost.
What We Do -Telecom Market
The management team at Advanced Support Products understands that
rapid deployment and cost containment are the key objectives of the
construction management teams charged with the mission of getting
cell site locations up and running as quickly as possible. In the
United States alone, many companies such as Sprint and Cingular have
created strategic positioning of their construction teams in major
cities.
During the past several years, the company has established strong
relationships with many wireless carriers in voice, radio and data
fields. These carriers have been pleased to find that ASP can get
their equipment installed and operating quickly. In today's business
world where convenience for the customer is crucial, ASP has become
somewhat of a “one-stop-shop” to supply all support products
required for wireless applications including supports for waveguides,
antenna, shelters, microwaves, cable trays, electrical conduit, walk
ways and work platforms.
The established engineering team has the ability to do quality drafting
and design work without delays. Equipment platforms are readily available
and have been designed for specific equipment manufactured by the
leaders within the industry including Nortel, Lucent, Nokia, Motorola
and Seimens. Custom platforms for specific applications can be easily
modified or designed. Customers such as these on-site construction
teams can simply contact ASP and provide a variety of information,
including type, weight and dimensions of the equipment to be supported
and the design team will develop a platform or support system that
will meet or exceed their needs. The experienced management team at
ASP understands bottom line needs and will work with its clients to
deliver quick turnaround so that sites can be installed in a timely
manner.
What We Do - HVAC Market
Advanced Support Products realizes the need to maintain commercial
roofing systems from costly roof damage, which results in roof leaks.
The goal of ASP is to offer products designed to keep commercial rooftops
in warranty and provide an economical way to avoid roof damage.
Why does a new twenty-year roof leak in only three to five years?
It's probably not the fault of the roofing materials. The problem
is that the piping and equipment placed on the roof moves with vibration
and thermal expansion, causing a gouge in the roof membrane. The result
is a leak with very expensive roof repairs!
The support systems utilizing Advanced Support Products are designed
to allow the piping and equipment as well as the roofing membrane
to expand and contract without causing damage to the roof system.
ASP hanger supports are adjustable and can equally share the piping
and equipment load. ASP support systems do not penetrate the roof
membrane. They are installed with a patented weight-disbursing base
on top of the roofing membrane, distributing the load over the surface
of roof to meet the pounds per square inch required by the roofing
manufacturers.
Whether you are an architect, engineer, roofing consultant, contractor
or building owner, look into the advantages of Advanced Support Products
for all types of roofs. To get the full service out of your design
with the support system that eliminates the number one cause of roof
failure call ASP today.
