Contractors

It is easy to see why the nation's largest contractors use ISAT for their most
complicated projects.

The ISAT Process
Take advantage of our efficiencies!

Engineered Submittals & Calculations



•  ISAT assigns a project manager for every project and works closely with the client to ensure specific solutions work with jobsite conditions. After consulting with the contractor and reviewing the project requirements, ISAT develops engineered submittals reflecting “Real World” solutions for streamlined installation.

•  The ISAT Design, Installation and Inspection Manual is the backbone of all our engineered solutions. This manual is the largest archive of seismic bracing solutions using any brand of strut, hangers and associated hardware.

 

Engineered Submittals & Calculations

•  Every project we do adds additional details and options to the ISAT manual further decreasing the cost associated with preparing engineered solutions for the next project. All submittals are specifically engineered for your project and are stamped by a licensed Professional Engineer.
•  ISAT project management staff is available to deal with any questions the reviewing authority may have regarding the submittal documents.


Seismic Layout on Contractor's Plan-Sets



•  Detailed seismic layouts are performed on the project drawings locating the minimum amount of bracing to meet local code and specifications taking into account contractors installation preferences.

 

Seismic Layout on Contractor's Plan-Sets

•  All locations correspond to bracing legends on the plan-set spelling out all necessary information needed for inspection, engineering review and contractor installation.
•  Installation options for changes in field condition or congestion are built into the submittal and are referenced on layout drawings.

Pre-Assembled ISAT Seismic Bracing Kits



•  All components necessary for code compliant installation are provided pre-assembled and labeled to correspond to locations on the seismic layout drawings.

•  All kits include the necessary:
   ¤  Rod Capture ICC approved seismic brackets
   ¤  Appropriate concrete anchors, beam clamps or lag bolts
   ¤  Rod stiffeners
   ¤  Exact installation instructions

 

Pre-Assembled ISAT Seismic Bracing Kits

•  All kits are specifically assembled in a controlled environment for each location on the plans.
•  Because we take the guess work out of the installation, contractors can use their most cost effective labor to install code compliant seismic bracing.

ISAT stays involved for the Duration of the Project



•  All kits include the necessary:
   ¤  Field labor education
   ¤  Custom engineering
   ¤  Congestion and conflict resolution
   ¤  Inspection team and design team assistance
   ¤  Upon satisfactory installation, ISAT will provide an installation conformance letter.

The seismic restraint of suspended HVAC ducts, fire protection piping, electrical utilities and plumbing/piping systems for hospital construction projects has been a daily function of ISAT for many years. Although we have a broad range of project types under our belt, we are extremely proud of our hospital experience.

If you are involved in healthcare construction, you are familiar with the issues that compound the process. Highly congested hospital corridors, more stringent code requirements and ambiguous inspection influences all complicate an already tricky construction project. Past experience has proven a solid understanding of inherent issues and a good base knowledge of the seismic bracing code requirements by the entire construction and design team, can drastically streamline issues surrounding seismic bracing code compliance.

Contact ISAT to provide the latest insight to streamline your scope of work regarding seismic bracing code compliance for the IBC 2000/2003 and OSHPD projects.

Key Aspects to Consider

The ISAT Design, Installation and Inspection Manual OPA-0485 is the most comprehensive OSHPD pre-approval in existence. Utilizing the ISAT OPA-0485 pre-approval, combined with our current OSHPD experience, has proven to be the single most effective tool in streamlining the OSHPD document review and plan approval process.
