Case study · Autex ceiling

Autex ceiling installation for a commercial office.

Large-format acoustic ceiling modules assembled, supported and lifted in a planned sequence around lighting, sprinklers, ventilation and containment.

The challenge

Large modules, limited space and dense services.

The ceiling design required accurate module geometry and a practical workflow for assembly, lifting and final alignment.

I&O divided the installation into linked activities: front-end setting-out and drilling, support installation, floor-level module assembly, planned lifting and a finishing team for levelling and completion. Assembly space and material movement were managed around the live fit-out programme.

Support positions were coordinated to the approved design around building services, with threaded rod, wire suspension or unistrut support used where detailed for the installation.

01

Ceiling setting-out

Module lines and suspension points established from coordinated drawings and service positions.

02

Structural supports

Approved anchors, rod, wire and unistrut details installed to suit the coordinated design.

03

Module assembly

Smaller sections assembled in controlled work zones before combination and lifting.

04

Planned lifting

Modules moved to the ceiling in a sequence aligned with access, protection and available labour.

05

Service interfaces

Lighting, sprinklers, ventilation and containment considered through setting-out and installation.

06

Levelling & finish

Final height, joins, line and geometry checked across the completed feature ceiling.

Completed result

A repeatable workflow for complex ceiling geometry.

  1. 01

    Workfront established

    Setting-out and supports progressed ahead of module lifting.

  2. 02

    Assembly controlled

    Modules were built in practical sections without blocking the active site.

  3. 03

    Lifting sequenced

    Completed sections moved directly into position where possible.

  4. 04

    Geometry finished

    The suspended ceiling was levelled and checked against the coordinated architectural layout.
