Mr. Phelim Devine:

What I am saying is that there is absolutely no issue with the AOVs and that it is the contractor's responsibility to make sure they are installed correctly in accordance with the performance specification. There is a very clear facilities management and maintenance strategy for all components all over the building to maintain it, and that is very clear for the contractor. There may be a location in the biome that could require scaffolding if a motor has to be replaced. I will have to check that. There are holding and support points and rails inside the biome to allow for all the glass to be cleaned and to hang from to replace a component.
