We have an area with Architectural Panels (aluminum) hanging from the ceiling at 12'-0 above finish floor; the building is concrete deck on I-beam construction w/the top of steel at 17'-4. The panels vary in length and width - most of them are 3'-0 wide and less with length ranging from 8'-0 and less. There are two rows of them hung together with soffit going around the perimeter of the area; there is a 1'-0 space between them in all directions including between them and the soffit. The bottom of the soffit is even with the panels (12'-0 AFF) the architectural plan is saying it is 40% open. The engineer wants the pipe hung above the panels and has chrome pendent's coming down in the 1'-0 spaces between the panels with the deflector just below the panel (approx. 11'-11) and is saying uprights are not required.
Wouldn't uprights still be required above the panels? Wouldn't the pendent's need to be in the architectural panels, not in the 1'-0 open space between them?
