Work in detail
A roof with building services
The roof has open stretches of deck interrupted by air-conditioning units, pipes, raised bases and low walls. The wide photos show how much of the area is accessible and where the route through the roof narrows.
Roof details around fixed equipment
The close view brings the exposed pipework and supports into focus. These details matter when assessing an existing roof because access to the deck changes around fixed equipment and at the edge of each plinth.
Access around permanent services
An open roof view can make the deck look straightforward. Around fixed equipment, working clearance changes between plinths, supports and walls. The close photographs show where these features sit in relation to the roof surface and what needs to be considered when inspecting the deck.
