Description

Join us for an informative presentation, with Mike Dutton of Comfortech, on the design and installation considerations for non-structural elements - partition (wall) and ceiling systems. 

This session will focus on the challenges faced when managing design and engineering outcomes and onsite conflict resolution, as well as making sense of manufacturing information and engineering design requirements. Mike will also discuss how to address seismic design and proprietary solutions, providing examples of onsite system and services conflicts and their resolutions and looking at bulkheads, openings and external framing.

There is an increasing demand for the available space above plenums and wall elements in commercial buildings, working to integrate the conflicting demands of the various services and structural connections can be challenging. This presentation will aim to help you understand how your life could be made easier, with a range of considerations and solutions to address the conflicts.

The presentation will be covering a diverse range of real-world examples and there will, as always, be time for your questions.

This will be useful for anyone involved in commercial construction and interior fit outs.
