A Pre-Engineered, Customized Solution for Jubail College Ceiling and Walls
The USG ME drywall suspension system offered a precise and efficient solution. The USG ME drywall suspension system is a pre-engineered system that allows contractors to create unique, curved, domed, and conventional flat drywall ceilings without cutting or curving support structures in the field. Since it is easy to install, a lower-skilled workforce was required to install it, while still achieving a high-quality finish.
The hanging system was composed mainly of wire hangers, however, threaded rods were custom-made and installed as well to give the structure more rigidity and stability in order to achieve structural integrity. Hangers were anchored to the top concrete dome structure with special accessories. The installed hangers carried the curved main tees and other parts of the dome.
USG Sheetrock® All Purpose Joint Compound was used to finish the joints of the installed wallboard.
