Ductwork and Concealed AC for Buildings Under Construction

This page brings together examples of work by Rukn Al Khaleej in buildings under construction in Riyadh, where HVAC is installed at the stage before ceilings are closed. The photos show insulated ducts hung from concrete slabs, concealed ducted split units above room entrances and cassette units, along with examples of exposed ductwork and electrical connections.

Project overview

In buildings under construction, HVAC work has to be done before suspended ceilings are closed and finished, because ducts, concealed units and copper and drain lines end up hidden above the ceiling. Any mistake at this stage becomes harder and more expensive to fix once finishing is done.

The photos show a range of work by Rukn Al Khaleej on projects of this type in Riyadh, from aluminium-faced insulated duct networks to concealed ducted split units above room entrances, cassette units fixed to concrete ceilings, and examples of round and curved exposed ductwork.

Scope of work

  • Fabricating, supplying and hanging ductwork from concrete slabs.
  • Insulating ducts with aluminium-faced insulation.
  • Installing concealed ducted split units above room entrances and connecting them to the ductwork.
  • Fixing cassette units to concrete ceilings ahead of finishing.
  • Installing round and curved exposed ducts with diffusers.
  • Copper piping and drain lines, and mounting outdoor units on walls.
  • Electrical connections inside AC unit panels.

How we delivered it

  1. 01

    Coordination with the contractor

    At this stage, HVAC work is typically coordinated with the main contractor and other trades to set duct and copper routes and unit positions that do not clash with electrical and plumbing work or suspended ceiling heights.

  2. 02

    Installation before close-up

    Insulated ducts are hung, concealed and cassette units are fixed, and copper and drain lines are run before the ceilings are closed, so everything is ready for connection and start-up as finishing approaches.

  3. 03

    Connection and start-up

    Once the outdoor units are mounted, the electrical connections are made. The system is then started up and checked for sound pipework and proper air distribution before the work is handed over.
