CPD session overview
Specifying and designing ceiling systems for infrastructure projects is a complex and specialised capability. In this CPD presentation we will guide you through the process of successfully delivering large scale infrastructure projects. We’ll review case studies in transport, education and sports and explore examples of the capability and limitations of modern metal ceiling systems, sharing how a design led approach is key (or critical) for turning imaginative designs into reality.
Learning outcomes
At the end of this presentation, you should be able to:
- Describe project limitations and how they could affect ceiling design.
- Recognise the advantages of a design-led approach and a robust design process.
- Identify environmental sustainability characteristics of aluminium
- Meet obligations for ceiling technical requirements, including seismic, aesthetics, access, integrated lighting.
- Outline key considerations and inclusions when specifying ceilings for infrastructure projects.
- AACA competency standard – NSCA performance criteria:
- Project Initiation and Conceptual Design – PC24, PC31, PC33
- Detailed Design and Construction Documentation – PC39
