Where hangers cannot be fixed at the recommended spacing due to the presence of services, equipment or other obstructions, a sub-grid of appropriate
span & performance shall be used with prior permission from the Customer.
It shall be securely supported to prevent lateral movement.
Access panels and MEP opening location to be determined and set according to approved shop drawings details.
MEP clearance shall be obtained prior to commencing ceiling tile /gypsum board works.
Upon completion of framing work including final adjustment to ensure entire suspension is level, the ceiling boards were then be fixed up at proper
intervals.
Air terminal devices like grills or similar equipment shall be incorporated in the ceiling as specified.
After ensuring the ceiling boards/tiles were installed accordingly and acceptable flatness, sealing up of joints will proceed.
Final inspection will be made by the Engineer and contractor and to be rectified to any comments given by them.
Leveling & Fixing of Wall Angles (10% of ceiling scope of work):
All pre-coating, damp proof coats works and MEP Related activities above False Ceiling Level to be completed Prior to start of Ceiling Works.
Finished floor level marks must be available in all areas by Main Contractor by level instrument.
Powder coated wall channels will be fixed on the marked lines to the wall by using steel galvanized steel concrete nails of 25mm length and will be
fixed to the wall at a spacing of 300mm c/c starting at 100mm from both ends of wall channels.
Installation of Suspension Grid:
After obtaining clearances from MEP– Coordinator, galvanized steel Ceiling Nails l shaped 20 x 20 mm will be fixed to the soffit structure by using
drill machine at a spacing of 1200mm c/c distributed according to match ceiling tiles lay out as per approved shop drawings.
Hooked galvanized steel rods of diameter 4mm as per submittal will be inserted to the ceiling nails from one end. The other end of the rods will be
inserted in a steel adjustment clip. The length of the rods will be equal to the height of structural ceiling to the false ceiling less 200mm.
Another set of 4mm diameter galvanized steel rods as per submittal will be inserted to the other end of each adjacent clip. The length of these rods is
200mm in which they have hooked shape at the other end.
For Strip Ceiling the Main Runners will be fixed at 1200mm c/c spacing. The Runners are galvanized steel special U-Section and have locks and
holes and will be fixed directly to the adjustment clips by clipping into the holes of the carriers. The strip panels will be slided into place by clipping
them into the locks of the Main Runners as per catalogue.
For Lay In Ceiling Tiles the 6mm threaded rod will be inserted into the holes of ‘L’ clips vertical flange of the Main Runners galvanized steel T-grid
suspension. Length of Main Runners is 3600mm. In long span rooms, T.L will place the Main Runners consecutively and connect them to each other
at their ends by riveting 100mm steel thin plates to the vertical flanges of the
consecutive Main Runners. Finally, the Cross Galvanized T-Grid Runners of length 1200mm will be fixed to Main Runners by inserting Cross
Runners both ends in the opening holes of Main Runners every 600mm. Then, the Cross Galvanized T-Grid Runners of length 600mm will be inserted
between the Cross Galvanized T-Grid runners 1200mm to from a module size of 600 x 600mm as per catalogue.
Fixing of Ceiling Tiles:
After fixing external glass and perform service testing above ceiling by others, ceiling tiles will be fixed by laying them on the suspension grid system
according to the ceiling layout in the approved shop drawing.
Holes in tiles will be cut for services according to the approved opening sizes requirements (such as Diffusers, sprinklers, Grills etc.) as per electrical
and electro mechanical requirements.
Closing Ceiling Tiles pieces will be cut by Jack saw cutter for Aluminium Ceiling Tiles and by knife blade for Mineral Fibre ceiling tiles. Edges will
be chamfered.
Gypsum Board False Ceiling:
Leveling & Fixing of Wall Angles:
Finished floor level marks shall be made available in all areas by Main Contractor’s surveyor.
Reference points will be marked by measuring the required ceiling level from the existing marks by using measuring tapes from permanent
benchmarks given by surveyor. The maximum spacing between points should be five meters. Then, using chalk line will mark a continuous line.
