At this station you can see a mock-up fire hydrant riser, demonstrating the basic connection detail between services and timber elements namely, screws. As you will see throughout this floor, all services can be roughed in and connect to the structure with the use of nothing more than screws and a battery powered driver.
Before stepping through this doorway, have a look at how this has been cut out of the timber. For core walls, it is standard practice for the fabricator to cut most of the door penetration, leaving an un-cut area in each corner. This prevents unnecessary exposure to live edges until the door way is needed, at which point it can be cut out on site. Indeed, you can see this has occurred here, with smooth cuts to most of the door frame, and circular saw cuts at the corners.
