What ISAT Total Support does

ISAT Total Support is a privately held US provider of engineered nonstructural Mechanical, Electrical, and Piping (MEP) support systems for the commercial and industrial construction market, operating as a division of Tomarco Contractor Specialties, which was founded in Southern California in 1977 and formalized the ISAT division in 1996 after entering seismic bracing in the early 1990s. Its offering combines in-house engineering services (including BIM/VDC, pipe stress analysis, seismic design, and equipment anchorage), patented branded products (Blue Banger Hanger, Push Rod, Stiffy, Wedgy, Rapid Rack, Rapid Rooftop Supports, and the FM1950-qualified BC-1 and BC-5 Seismic Beam Clamps), factory fabrication (Engineered Factory MEP Supports, Frames and Skids, Elevated Equipment Platforms), pre-assembled and color-coded Seismic Bracing and Vibration Kits, and the QRXpert mobile installation/QC app, supported by 12 authored seismic design manuals covering IBC, CBC, and HCAI/OSHPD, the gated ISAT Vault portal, and a free web-based seismic code calculator. ISAT holds HCAI/OSHPD OPM pre-approval (one of few companies), ICC-ES ESR-3599 and PMG-1551 listings, FM Approvals, and UL listings, and is specifically referenced in the FEMA/DHS-funded ATC-69 non-structural seismic guideline, giving it a privileged specification position in regulated healthcare and government work.

The business model is project-based and specification-driven: ISAT provides engineering and VDC services, supplies its cataloged and patented branded products (many of which are kitted, QR-coded, and tagged by floor/area/trade), and increasingly bundles these into a four-step Turnkey Supply offering (Constructability Review, Engineering and VDC, Off-site Manufacturing and Assembly, Delivery and Rapid Install) that ships location-tagged kitted solutions to the jobsite. ISAT serves MEP contractors, general contractors, and engineering specifiers across the US through 14 regional offices plus a La Mirada, CA corporate headquarters and a Matthews, NC East Coast headquarters, with an international hub in Amman, Jordan, a San Juan, Puerto Rico office, and project work including a geothermal power station in New Zealand. Reported scale signals include 35,000+ completed projects worldwide, 175 engineers (33 stamping engineers licensed in 37 states), 50 BIM professionals, 700+ engineers/VDC specialists/project managers/support staff, and 800+ total team members across Tomarco/ISAT. Revenue model mechanics span engineering services fees, cataloged product sales, and growing fabrication and kitted-supply revenue, but pricing and per-project economics are not publicly disclosed.

Core offering

ISAT Total Support is a division of Tomarco Contractor Specialties that delivers engineered products and services for nonstructural MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, and Piping) support systems in commercial and industrial construction. The company combines in-house seismic/structural engineering and BIM/VDC services with a portfolio of patented branded products (Blue Banger Hanger, Push Rod, Stiffy, Wedgy, Rapid Rack, Rapid Rooftop Supports, BC-1 and BC-5 Seismic Beam Clamps), off-site fabrication (Engineered Factory MEP Supports), pre-assembled seismic bracing and vibration isolation kits, and a Turnkey Supply delivery model that packages engineering, fabrication, and rapid install into kitted jobsite solutions.

Product overview

ISAT Total Support is an integrated platform-plus-modules service and product portfolio for nonstructural MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, and Piping) support systems in commercial construction, combining in-house engineering services (including BIM/VDC, pipe stress analysis, and seismic design), patented branded products (Blue Banger Hanger, Push Rod, Stiffy, Wedgy, Rapid Rack, Rapid Rooftop Supports, BC-1 and BC-5 Seismic Beam Clamps), full fabrication services (Engineered Factory MEP Supports including Frames/Skids and Elevated Equipment Platforms), pre-assembled Seismic Bracing Kits and Seismic Vibration Kits, and the QRXpert mobile installation app paired with those kits. Supporting the platform are the ISAT Seismic Design Manuals (covering IBC, CBC, and HCAI/OSHPD codes), the gated ISAT Vault portal (REVIT files and manuals), the free Seismic Bracing Requirements Code Calculator, and the Turnkey Supply four-step process (Constructability Review → Engineering & VDC → Off-site Manufacturing & Assembly → Delivery & Rapid Install) that integrates the named products and services into kitted, location-tagged deliverables delivered to the jobsite.
