Technical Installation Guide

Install cleanroom wall and ceiling panels from the approved layout and system-specific details: check site readiness, establish reference lines, assemble and secure panels, coordinate openings, seal interfaces and inspect the completed enclosure.

Use this sequence to coordinate trades and prepare an installation method statement. The approved engineering design, manufacturer instructions, project safety plan and applicable local rules govern the work.

Approved Information

Confirm the latest room layout, wall elevations, panel schedule, opening details, support design and fastening method. Identify changes before issuing site instructions.

Site & Materials

Check access, substrate condition, survey references, floor and ceiling levels; inspect delivered panels and store them dry and protected according to supplier instructions.

Trade Interfaces

Agree who installs and checks supports, doors, glazing, electrical and HVAC openings, penetration seals and finished surfaces.

01 / Set Out

Mark Reference Lines

Survey finished levels and room dimensions, mark wall and opening positions, and resolve conflicts before fixing the agreed base or perimeter details.

02 / Wall Panels

Position & Secure

Check panel identity and orientation against the schedule. Align the first panel, engage the specified joints, and fix subsequent panels using the approved components and sequence.

03 / Openings

Coordinate Doors & Windows

Verify frame sizes, required reinforcement and clearance. Keep openings in the agreed locations and sequence with the door and glazing teams.

04 / Ceiling

Complete Overhead Interfaces

Install the engineered supports and ceiling panels to the approved layout. Review lights, filter openings, services, access and independent support before closing the ceiling.

05 / Joints

Seal & Protect

Use the approved sealant and details for joints, penetrations and perimeter connections. Protect finishes and coordinate debris removal with the site cleanliness plan.

06 / Handover

Inspect & Record

Check alignment, damage, visible joints, door and glazing interfaces, access panels and outstanding issues. Record inspections and changes against the approved drawings.

Ceiling safety: Do not assume a ceiling is walkable or can support workers, equipment or services. The responsible engineer must establish loads, support details and access arrangements for the actual assembly before work begins.

Give each check an owner and retain the relevant record. The inspection plan and acceptance criteria must be agreed for the project.

Useful Next Steps

Explore the interactive connection details library for reference illustrations of walls, ceilings and openings.

Review wall and ceiling coordination before installation, door and window openings, and ceiling access and loading. Send AILV the layout, schedule, site location and requested responsibilities through the project inquiry page.
