Project overview
Al Jazeera Paints – Main Branch, in Al Majmaah, has a spacious showroom with a very high ceiling. A space like this needs cool air spread evenly across the whole floor, while the ceiling itself has to stay neat, because it is part of what visitors see as they walk in.
The main challenge was working at height: the units and service runs were installed from scaffolding while the ceiling was still open, before it was closed and finished. The photo gallery documents the project during and after installation, from the open ceiling and service runs to the completed hall.
Cassette units are a good fit for halls like this, because they sit within the ceiling and throw air in several directions. Grouping the controllers on one panel also keeps day-to-day operation simple.
Scope of work
- Installing cassette AC units in the high showroom ceiling.
- Running insulated copper piping for the AC units.
- Running condensate drain lines for the units.
- Installing service runs within the ceiling structure before close-up, working from scaffolding.
- Fitting a digital controller (thermostat) for each unit and grouping them on a single wall panel.
- Starting up the units and handing over the hall once finishing was complete.
