Ductwork in Courtrooms and Judicial Spaces
Courtrooms need low noise, stable temperature, security coordination, and hidden access planning.
Stop if
- This courtroom duct needs access and quiet operation. Do we verify noise criteria and security access locations first?
Watch out
- Do not add access doors or move diffusers without checking security/finish requirements.
Check
- Confirm NC/noise criteria, security ceiling restrictions, access location, and diffuser throw.
Steps
- Identify whether this is normal ductwork or a controlled/special condition.
- Confirm NC/noise criteria, security ceiling restrictions, access location, and diffuser throw.
- Get the current drawing/detail/spec/submittal before changing routing, material, access, or support.
- Bring photos, location, and what you checked to the foreman before closing or covering the work.
