The large floor plate, of up to and over 10,000m², would have proved to be a challenge in terms of expansion and creep if it was not for our specially designed and patented pedestal head and panel. The panel has a special expansion cut out, and the pedestal head is fitted with an expansion gasket designed to keep the panels separated by 0.3mm at all times. This eliminates the panels clicking or rubbing up against each other during expansion. The use of bridging stringers for services ensured penetrations in the ductwork were kept to a minimum. ASP staff coordinated with other services to ensure penetrations were correctly located and properly sealed.
