• Finish:
Exposed face to underside: Factory applied white finish, capable of being cleaned with damp cloth
and domestic detergent.
Exposed face to top side: Factory applied finish, capable of being cleaned with soft brush and
vacuum cleaner and wiped with damp cloth or mop and domestic detergent – colour white or light
grey.

• Module width: Contractors choice: to suit manufacturers standard module

• Jointing system: Manufacturers standard interlocking system.

• Support system:
To be designed by the Contractor.
The Contractor shall provide a walk on ceiling system capable of spanning from Grid Line A to the
outer wall of the Accommodation towards Grid Line C on the Port Side and from Grid Line K to the
outer wall of the Accommodation towards Grid Line H on the Starboard Side.
The outer wall of the Accommodation partitioning on the Factory side towards Gridlines C and H
shall in both cases be load bearing partitioning and it will be the Contractors responsibility to
determine the imposed load (live load and dead load) from the walk-on ceiling system and design
the load-bearing partitions to accept this load and include this cost within his Tender. It should be
noted that the current design does not include for whatever reinforcement is deemed necessary for
the partitions (part half glazed and solid proprietary metal partitioning and part solid plasterboard
dry wall partitioning) to support this imposed load.

External wall interface –the Contractors design will require metal support beams to be provided in
this location. Such support members are to be supplied and installed by the Contractor as part of
the walk-on ceiling installation and are to be designed to support the imposed load from the
Contractors walk-on ceiling system.

For internal wall types and layout refer to the following drawings:
