Project overview
Al Othaim Central Administration in Riyadh includes open-plan office areas with suspended ceilings that hide the AC units and ductwork. Replacement and renewal projects of this kind typically aim to restore cooling performance, improve efficiency and give better temperature control across the workplace.
What sets this type of project apart is that it takes place inside an existing office building. It means opening suspended ceiling tiles to reach the concealed units, removing the old equipment, installing the new units and restoring the ceiling, while organising the work to limit the impact on people in the offices.
Scope of work
- Opening suspended ceiling tiles to reach the concealed indoor units and ductwork.
- Removing the old indoor AC units as part of the replacement.
- Installing concealed indoor units above the suspended ceiling and connecting them to the ductwork and diffusers.
- Rooftop outdoor unit works, with the units mounted on steel stands.
- Insulated copper piping between the outdoor and indoor units, plus condensate drain lines.
- Fitting digital wall thermostats in the offices for temperature control.
