Customer's Challenge
The primary structural challenge involved installing walls that could withstand heavy loads and maintain integrity. We needed to build robust partition walls for the back-of-house areas, including the manager’s office and IT store, while ensuring all electrical services could run concealed within the system. A key safety requirement was installing a complex one-hour fire-rated umbrella detail at the top of the walls to prevent buckling under heavy roof loads, such as snow.
Our Solution
We executed a precision internal fit-out, starting with the installation of robust stud and track wall liners for back-of-house and front-of-house separation. The liners allowed seamless electrical service runs behind the partitions before final boarding. We then applied a comprehensive tape and fill finish for a flawless surface ready for decoration. Our team successfully engineered and fitted the bespoke one-hour fire-rated umbrella detail, securing the walls against extreme roof conditions as required by airport regulations. We also installed a functional suspended ceiling in the kitchen area, meeting specific functional and aesthetic requirements.
