GYPSUMBOARD SUSPENDED CEILING

The sequence to be maintained is as follow s

► Mark the layout of ceiling on the walls with the help of chalkline powder as
per the levels indicated in the shop drawing.

► Fix the perimeter angle on the chalkline marks with the help of steel nails
or 25 mm self taping screws. The perimeter angle should be fixed 12.5 mm
above the exact level of Suspended Ceiling.

► After fixing the perimeter angle on the walls, hang G.I. wires of suitable
length from the structural soffit at a distance of 1200 mm c/c with the help
of bullets driven in structural soffit with a beta gun. Incase of truss above,
the hangers are to be suspended from these by tieing the hanger wire to
them. In case no purlin/truss is available above, additional cross supports
(C studs) should be fixed above the existing supports. Care should be
taken to maintain all hangers’ vertical adjustable clip should be installed in
the wire hangers for leveling the Suspended Ceiling.

► After suspending the G.I. wire, fix the main channels or intermediate
channels to G.I. wires with the help of U Channel clips at a spacing of
1200 mm c/c.

► Fix the furring channels at a spacing of 600 mm c/c at right angels to the
intermediate channels. The main channels and the intermediate channels
are connected to the furring channel with the help of wire clips. The ends
furring channels should be rest on the perimeter angle and should be
fixed/riveted to the perimeter angle with the help of 25 mm self taping
screws. Where channel section have to be joined, they should be
overlapped back to back by 150 mm and fixed together with rivets.

► The furring channels are to be fixed to the main channel with the help of
wire clips.

► After completion of the framework, 12.5 mm thick taper edge gypsum

board should be fixed to the furring channel and perimeter channels with
the help of 35 mm self taping screws to all members at 230 mm centre to
centre. The board should be fixed with the long edges at right angles to
the furring channel joints should be staggered wherever possible.
► After completion of fixing of gypsum boards, the joints have to be sealed as
per the following procedure.

• Apply readily available joint compound evenly and fully over the
gypsum board joint duly filling the voids between the edges of the
boards.

• Centre the joint tape reinforcement between the board joints and press it
down into the fresh joint compound.

• When the tape is embedded apply a skim coat of joint compound

immediately after embedding.

• After the embedding and covering coat is completely dry apply the second
coat with the use of a 300mm trowel feathering approximately 25mm
beyond the edges of the first coat.

• After the second coat is dry, sand lightly and apply a thin finishing coat of
topping compound to joints with a 300mm trowel. Feather the joint edges
at least 25mm beyond the second coat.

• After the third coat is dry sand and surface lightly to achieve a flat smooth
surface ready to receive the final finish.

• The same procedure is to be followed for screw heads.

• For finishing inside corners fold tape along the centre crease. Coat both
corner edges with joint compound and apply tape and repeat the same
procedure.

• For finishing the external corners, use metal corner tape and repeat the
same procedures
 DRY WALL PARTITIONS / Wall Cladding
The following sequence should be maintained while carrying out the
construction of Dry wall Partitions

► Proper layout should be marked with the chalk line powder on the floor as
per the working drawings. This layout should be approved by the
concerned authority or the Site Engineer before proceeding with the actual
work.

► Install Studs on mall existing block wall by using steel nail on G.I studs and
install G.I runners with track on studs by using self holes make screw to
receive Gypsum Board.

► After fixing ceiling and tracks and runners, erect studs at a distance of 600
mm c/c and rivet the studs to the runners at ceiling and floor after aligning
vertically with the help of plumb bob.

► After completing the erection of gypsum boards, the following procedure

has to be carried out to fill the joints between the boards:

► After the embedding and covering coat is completely dry apply the second
coat with the use of a 300 mm trowel feathering approximately 25 mm
beyond the edges of the first coat.

► After the second coat is dry, sand lightly and apply a thin finishing coat of
topping compound to joints with a 300 mm trowel. Feather the joint edges
at least 25 mm beyond the second coat.

► After the third coat is dry sand the surface lightly to achieve a flat smooth
surface ready to receive the final finish.

► The same procedure is to be followed for screw heads.

► For finishing inside corners fold tape along the centre crease. Coat both
corner edges with joint compound and apply tape and repeat the same
procedure.

► For finishing the external corners, use metal corner tape and repeat the
same procedures.

HVAC Ducting Work

 . The ducts are made to conform to relevant standards and specifications. It
will be ensured that site measurements and approved drawing meet the
required standards.
 MIR inspection will be carried out on the duct once it is delivered to site. This
is done to increase conformance to specifications before the ducts are
covered.
 Ensure that there is no leakage of air from between the pieces by using
recommended gasket on the TDF flanges. Use quality bolts and nuts
(approved brands) to join the pieces
 Use appropriately sized drill to mark the location of hangers in the slab.
 Choose the correct sizes of anchor bolts; insert them into the drilled location
and use a hammer to fix it firmly.
 Where structural steelwork will require support, beam clamps, glider clips, or
other devices that do not require welding or drilling of the steelwork shall be
used to attach them to the steelwork.
 Choose the threaded rod that has the appropriate length and diameter; fix it
by carefully twisting the anchor bolt. Make sure you exercise caution to avoid
damaging the threads.
  Lift the ducts one at a time through hoisting up the support level, make sure it
is positioned and aligned to the specified level in the construction drawing.
 Use nuts and bolts to join the duct. Ensure that you have all the accessories
needed to complete the installation, such as supports and hangers.
 Follow the approved drawing and specification while placing the hanger
support. Provide approved gasket before you place the duct over it. The sizes
of support will vary depending on the approved project drawing and
specification.
 Using the approved installation details as a guide, use nuts and washer to fix
the support.
 12. Special channel support should be used for vertical ducts. Make sure this
support is bolted on the inner surface before it is fixed on the wall
 Fabricated fittings should be used for all duck connections. Avoid diagonal
runs. Unless otherwise stated in the project drawing, duct should be located
horizontally and vertically.
 Ductwork penetrating external walls and floors shall be sealed to the wall.
 Ductwork that passes through floors, ceilings and walls should be padded and
sealed with a sealant. Also, it should get a fire rating if it will be passing
through fire-rated floors or walls. Fire damper should be installed at the point
where the ductwork penetrates the fire rated walls.
 Install fire dampers in compliance with project specification and SMACNA
standards.
 If required, fire dampers/motorized smoke will be installed according to the
approved shop drawing and any other damper should be fusible link type.
 There should be provision of an access door for inspection, calibration,
adjustment and maintenance of dampers in line with the project specification.
 As each duct section gets completed, check and make necessary
adjustments to ensure that the ducts are in the correct level and alignment.
 Use polyurethane to seal the open end of the duct temporarily, get rid of all
construction debris and clean up the site before leaving.
 Repeat for other part of the ducts until the whole ducts are connected.
 Carry out a thorough inspection after the installation is complete.

► Installation of Volume Control Dampers

 Confirm the position of the dampers you want to fix on the duct from the
project drawing. Mark and cut it to the specified size. (You will only need to
cut when there is no opening in the duct already).
 Double check the location for the requirement of installation tolerances and
clearances as specified in the drawing.
 Shift the volume control/fire damper (VCD/FD) to the right position manually
and make sure that the damper channel frame and the duct companion flange
match.
 Ensure that the joint is airtight by applying gasket and make sure you fasten
the clamp on the duct flange.
  To install, insert type of volume control damper, insert the VCD/FD inside the
duct into position through the opening provided by cutting slot which has to be
closed and sealed later.
