Abstract

See full text

The present invention relates to a utility support framing system and method of use for structurally suspended concrete slabs of slab-on-voidform foundations. The inventive utility support framing system and method of use isolates utilities, hanger assemblies, and framing system components from soil so as to avoid problems created by volumetric soil changes which otherwise would damage utility lines under foundation systems. The inventive utility support framing system permits suspending utility pipes under a slab of a slab-on-voidform foundation while avoiding the problems of the prior art. The invention also relates to a novel mountable pipe clamp and method of use and a novel protective utility counterweight and method of use for transitioning a utility system from a suspended condition to a soil supported condition.
