For all partitions, wall lining and ceiling systems.
The main focus of the project was to erect partitions to the centre of house area, including staging and changing rooms, plus miles of public access and service corridors, involving something in the order of 300,000m2 of board.
The challenge was to erect metal stud partition walls to resist wind pressure loads of 3 to 5m per second, provide durability in high traffic areas and one hour's fire resistance in the busiest area. There were also great demands on the sub-contractor to work in a high-pressure environment to extremely tight deadlines in order to avoid delay to following service trades.
The solution was to use GypWall ROBUST and Gypframe 48mm 'I' Studs lined with 15mm Gyproc DuraLine. To demonstrate the effectiveness of this system, a complete wall section was erected at British Gypsum's Building Test Centre. Architects were able to observe a series of performance tests that proved the system not only met, but surpassed all the required criteria - thus justifying its use throughout the entire complex.
