Already at the design stage it was evident that designers and builders are facing to an extraordinary task : insertion of accommodation spaces –such as book storage, hospital, offices and huge book exhibition area – into former garage space in spite of
numerous contradictions and limitations.
Bridging of gap in continuity of fire zones boundaries has proven to be impossible without involving horizontal steps in way of garage and upper deck. This effected
Extent of insulation work,pipe and cables penetrations, re-organization of fire zones related systems and, especially, routing of new and even existing ventilation /AC ducts so that, in conjunction with extremely low clearance between garage and new deck (2.35m only) a lot of skill has been demonstrated by the Builder in arranging all ducting with required penetrations, dampers etc within confined environment occupied with old and new ship systems.
