Case study · Suspended systems

Suspended acoustic baffles for a London fit-out.

A feature ceiling package installed below dense services using coordinated suspension points, support bridges and controlled baffle alignment.

The challenge

Maintaining the design line below a crowded ceiling zone.

The visible baffle layout needed to remain regular even where the most direct suspension points were obstructed by building services.

I&O set out the approved ceiling geometry, checked structural fixing positions and coordinated the support arrangement around ventilation, containment, lighting and sprinklers. Where the design required it, unistrut bridges and threaded rod created stable suspension positions without losing the intended centres below.

Baffles were assembled, lifted and adjusted in a controlled sequence, with the final height, spacing and line checked across each bay.

01

Setting-out

Ceiling centres and bay geometry transferred from coordinated reflected ceiling information.

02

Structural fixing

Approved anchors installed to the nominated structure with drilling controls and access planning.

03

Support bridges

Unistrut and threaded-rod supports used where required by the coordinated design.

04

Assembly

Components prepared and assembled in practical work zones before lifting.

05

Suspension

Each baffle or module connected to the specified suspension system and adjusted to level.

06

Final alignment

Spacing, height and visual lines checked against lighting and surrounding architectural features.

Completed result

A regular visible ceiling despite complex support conditions.

  1. 01

    Grid maintained

    The finished baffle centres followed the approved architectural layout.

  2. 02

    Services protected

    Supports and lifting were coordinated around existing installations and access constraints.

  3. 03

    Modules aligned

    Height, orientation and spacing were adjusted through the final installation sequence.

  4. 04

    Package closed

    Visible lines and outstanding items were checked before handover.
