Lessons Learned: Don’t center chase walls directly over/under structure

Another item that comes up frequently during coordination.

This often leads to furring out or enlarging/relocating chase walls if the scope cannot be relocated to a nearby alternative riser. Typically partition walls will get relocated before structural beams. You can put a beam penetration (beam pen) in the web of steel. I have not yet seen vertical beam pens through the flanges and web.
