Abstract

Disclosed herein is a roof module for distributing conveying components between a roof and an inside of a facility. The roof module comprises: a lid comprising an upper surface, a lower surface and one or more apertures extending therebetween, the one or more apertures for receiving one or more conveying components, the conveying components arranged to convey at least one of a fluid, power and an electrical signal; and a riser arranged to support one or more conveying components. The lower surface of the lid is a roof sealing surface wherein, in use, the lower surface makes contact with a facility roof to cover an aperture in the roof, and wherein the riser is located adjacent to the lower surface of the lid such that, when the lower surface covers the aperture, the riser is located inside the aperture to support the conveying components inside the facility.
