I. Typical Features of the Integrated Support Bracket
- Standardization and Modularization
- Standardized Components: Beams, columns, seismic connectors, and other components are standardized products with uniform specifications, interfaces, and installation methods, facilitating mass production and interchangeability.
- Modular Assembly: By combining various modules (such as base modules, support modules, and pipeline fixing modules), support systems can be quickly assembled to meet specific requirements, offering flexibility similar to "building blocks."
- Eco-Friendliness and Aesthetic Appeal
- Factory Prefabrication: Reduces on-site construction pollution (such as dust and noise), aligning with green building principles.
- Clean and Unified Appearance: The overall structure of the bracket features smooth lines and orderly pipeline arrangement, enhancing the interior aesthetics of buildings. This is especially suitable for environments with high decorative standards, such as commercial complexes, hospitals, and office buildings.
- Compatibility and Expandability
- Multi-Disciplinary Integration: Supports the integration of pipelines from various disciplines including electrical, fire protection, and HVAC systems. Through integrated and refined design (e.g., using BIM technology), potential pipeline clashes can be anticipated and avoided, improving cross-discipline coordination during construction.
- Reserved Expansion Interfaces: Installation space and load allowances are reserved for future pipeline additions, reducing the need for repeated renovations.
- Alignment with Modern Building Concepts
- Intelligent Integration: Can be integrated with intelligent building systems (e.g., surveillance systems). Sensors can monitor the load status of the bracket and pipeline operation parameters, enabling real-time alerts and preventive maintenance.
- Compliance with Policy Requirements: Meets national policy trends related to energy-saving construction, seismic resilience, and green building practices. For example, in areas with a seismic fortification intensity of ≥6 degrees, integrated support brackets are often included as a standard design element.
II. Application Scenarios
Integrated support brackets are widely used in the following areas:
Building Construction: Installation of MEP (mechanical, electrical, and plumbing) pipelines in high-rise buildings, commercial complexes, hospitals, schools, and similar structures.
Municipal Engineering: Pipeline support in subways, tunnels, and utility corridors.
Industrial Sector: Equipment and pipeline mounting in factories, data centers, laboratories, and other technical facilities.
Conclusion
With features such as "integrated design + standardized construction + safety and reliability," integrated support brackets effectively address issues found in traditional bracket systems, such as space waste, low construction efficiency, and maintenance difficulties. Their advantages are especially evident in complex projects and high-standard buildings. As BIM technology and seismic design requirements become more widespread, integrated support brackets have become a mainstream choice for modern building MEP installations.
