6.0 SUSPENDED CEILING INSTALLATION PROCEDURE

Before start of suspended ceiling works the following works need to be completed and assessed by the
QAQC engineer from all concerned parties.

• Plaster works to walls up to the required height

• Stucco and primer work should be done to the required height
• All M.E.P woks of first fix services should be completed
• Protection of flooring

Before starting of the first fix services of false ceiling clearance will be obtained from the contractor,
consultant and MEP sub contractor as the first fix services of M.E.P above the false ceiling to be
completed and approved.

An area for mock-up will be prepared for inspection and approval before proceeding with the overall
installation.

QA/QC procedures shall be followed, WIR shall be raised, inspections shall be carried out at different
work tiers and clearances shall be
obtained at progressive levels as
mentioned therein.

6.1 Fixing of Suspension Grid

• I angle as per approved

materials and section
details of false ceilings will
be fixed on level markings
with self-taping screws and
royal plugs @ every
400mm c/c and at 100mm
near the wall corners and
joints of angles
• Vertical support of primary
channels or 3.5mm dia. G.I
wire with approved
materials and section
details will be fixed to
concrete slab @ 1200mm
c/c and 300mm near the
walls with 6mm dia. concrete plugs or rivets and extra supports should be provided near the
A/C duct if required
• Horizontal channels will then be fixed to vertical channels with self-taping screw
• For areas where the suspension height is much more than typical like the toilets, the C-
channels 38X15mm. shall be used as vertical support, the channels shall be fixed to the slab
with high screws from fisher supporting up to a weight of 50 kg per fix.
