6.11.3 CONTRACTOR shall leave in a longitudinal upper section of the demolished drywall (acting as a fake beam), approximately 90mm below the alignment with the drop down ceiling tiles.

The longitudinal upper section will serve as a transitional element between the acoustic ceiling tiles of adjacent rooms where the drywall is expected to be removed (this method is recommended for the drywalls dividing rooms 2137-2105 and 2138-2105). This solution will save additional ceiling tile work if the longitudinal upper section is implemented in the indicated sections. Details of the upper longitudinal drywall section separating two adjacent rooms are illustrated in the architectural drawing included in ANNEX ARQ 08 13.
