Adam Savage of MythBusters fame has uploaded his visit of the Alien: Covenant set to his “Tested” YouTube Channel for Alien Day! The behind the scenes tour gives us a detailed look at the sets of an engineer hallway and the Space Jockey Chamber of the Juggernaut ship.
These sets were constructed at Fox Studios in Sydney, Australia for the duration of the film’s shooting at that location. Although the Space Jockey Chamber was featured prominently in Prometheus, the set for Covenant was rebuilt from scratch, rather than recycled from that film.
Adam Savage has some great input as he comes from a background of prop and set building. An avid Science Fiction fan, he’s also visited the sets of The Martian, Ghost in the Shell, and the SyFy series The Expanse.
Savage is also a professional cos-player and has a habit of attending Comic-Con in outfits where his identity is concealed.

Awwwwwww cootchie cooo...
There was an accident on set with a forklift at some point, I believe. Not sure of the details but he broke his hand.
As a naming convention, I think this is serviceable and reasonable.
-Windebieste.
At 2:57 over a side corridor it seems to be leading into the control room?! You can see the entrance to that side corridor on the right in that production still.
So its just an unseen a bit more Giger-esque corridor on that still generic looking Prometheus Engineer Ship(s). Disappointment i embrace ya --
edit: The side corridor seems then to be in the normal Prometheus fashion if im not totally confused now --
Methinks Mr. Savage just misspoke in his obvious excitement.
Some more info on the Juggernaut set and related things:
In the trailers the inside of that set is teaming with flowing water and organic life, trees, moss, etc.
Im now wondering if Shaw doesn't escape on a Juggernaut and that's the connection to Alien, and that's what they are trying to keep a secret about Shaw.
In any case, my question about where the Giger tunnel was located seems to be settled! I wonder if that aesthetic choice has any significance, considering that the less Giger-y style of corridor is also apparently present in the same ship.
A Dreadnaught?? Hmm.
