Main Challenge: The Room
Only one corner is square, and all points use beam clamps along parallel I Beams. A curved section had to be followed. Maneuvering cross-pipes in the small corner was immensely difficult due to obstruction from the walls and HVAC.






Defining Grid Height
The drafted height of the grid had significant interference from HVAC and other systems. A new height was set with a laser so that clearances could be checked.




Setting Points
Multiple laser levels, laser tapes, and measuring tapes were used to calculate an array of pick points to be perfectly in square






















Final Touches
The silver pipe hangars got a couple coats of black spray paint. The areas where insulation was scraped from the beams were also sprayed. With the lights in, the hardware disappears.
