Adnoc HQ, Abu Dhabi

SERVICE INTEGRATION

Service integration is a key provision for any workplace. Discreetly fitting services into the ceiling, SAS330 was the right choice for housing sprinklers, sensors, signage and speakers on office floors. Apertures in c-profiles ensure that electrical amenities are hidden away but remain easily accessible for maintenance.

Giving a uniform finish, a bespoke speaker perforation in each c-profile allows for essential announcements and alarms. Airflow vents and lights have also been designed into the c-profiles creating service channels without disrupting the uniformity of the large ceiling tiles.

DESIGN FLEXIBILITY

With an unusual architectural footprint, each floor of the new building contains multiple acute corner angles and an impressive curtain wall facade. A durable system, hundreds of SAS330 tiles were manufactured in trapezoidal shapes to accommodate the unique angles of the building design.

Bespoke perimeter trims provide a shadow gap detail between the metal ceiling and plasterboard surround. This feature frames the spectacular views from each floor. Threaded c-profiles also alternate between service profiles allowing for the secure installation and relocation of partitioning.

Large 1450x650 tiles in a bright white polyester powder coat give a bright and fresh feel to the office space. Specified by the architect this aesthetic finish has a 25 year warranty maintaining a high visual performance and consistent quality.

ACOUSTICS

With a square perforation and acoustic infill backing, each tile provides Class A acoustic absorption essential for a calm working environment. Consisting of a black tissue fleece and polybag wrapped pad, the ceiling will trap unwanted office noise and can be easily maintained and cleaned.
