When you are planning a build, it is easy to forget the hidden details that can help make sure your building stands the test of time. Service ducts can help keep the buildings cables and water pipes within easy access, making any maintenance easier to complete with little disruption.
Not only that, service ducts help conceal wires and pipes throughout the building, helping you to create the seamless style that most modern architects require. Here is a rundown of things to consider when installing service ducts:
- It is good to categorise the services into sections, such as water lines, electrical, air-conditioning, automation etc. This will help you organise the various cables, so if any maintenance needs to be done, the correct duct can be looked at.
- Make sure you have at least two service ducts on either side of the building, this helps prevent confusion and is easier to maintain.
- Ensure that the ducts you install are large enough for a person to move freely and work inside.
- Be sure to have the openings for the ducts on the outside of the building, allowing them to be accessed without going inside the building.
