4.3. Before proceeding with any construction works, areas and access will be properly and closely examined by the Construction Team to ensure that they are in an appropriate state for construction works to proceed. The Client will be invited to attend this inspection at his wisdom.

4.4. A close c with other trades will be conducted on coordination of the worksite before work starts.

4.5. A safe, secure and proper access controlled storage area will be designated on-site, in close coordination with the employer.


5.0. METHOD OF INSTALLATION

5.1. The project/site Supervisor will advise the tradesmen about the execution of the installation works and will an all mandatory approved construction drawings of the newer revision.

5.2. The project/site Supervisor will also closely examine that all mandatory and required tools and equipment are readily available by the contract requirements.

5.3. Make sure that horizontal ductwork is appropriately supported at equal distances per a newer version and updated Construction Drawings with all brackets fixed to the vertical face of ribbed beams of the structure.

5.4. Great care and initiative will be taken during the setting out stage, that ductwork runs between ceiling module lines to maintain maximum flexibility for any future relocation of lighting fixtures or other services regarding the HVAC system.

5.5. HVAC ductwork supports unless otherwise indicated will be installed to provide a minimum space of 15 millimetres between finished covering and adjacent work, and 100 millimetres clearance from suspended ceiling work.

5.6. Proper and secure supports or hangers will be placed within 300 millimetres of any 45° – 90° bend.

5.7. The screwed drop rods will have thread adjustment in either direction available after levelling of ductwork and allied plenum boxes.

5.8. The Ducts will be supported and secured within 300 millimeters of mating flanges or joints.

5.9. As indicated on relevant approved construction drawings where more than one duct can be supported on one hanger – the size of the hanger will be examined on the sum of the maximum widths.

5.10. The ductwork passing through walls and floors will be securely supported on both on-fire-rated sides.

5.11. All locknuts are secured accurately. At all open ends check for debris/wastes then cover with proper material to safeguard any entrance of debris pests/insects, or mist.

5.12. The project supervisor must make sure that there are no dents, distortions or buckling of ducting during HVAC duct installation being aware that damaged sheet metal work will be rejected.

5.13. The proper supports are to be adjusted at accurate levels checking the bracket material is compatible with the installation and the correct methodology used for thermal insulation.
