The Project
In this project, our repair team was operating in a potentially difficult location—above a Starbucks coffee shop.
The scope of work for this project included tendering and repairing the building facade along with relaying the roof. This involved removing all the solar reflective stones, applying two generous coats of the specified liquid to the roofing system, and then reinstating the stones after the curing had taken place (after two days).
This was a highly complex project that required specialist knowledge, an eye for detail, and comprehensive planning due to the site's location on a busy high street.
The Site
The site, as mentioned earlier, was on and above a Starbucks coffee shop. This was managed by our team using physical barriers to create an exclusion zone, and working times were also agreed with the commercial unit below.
We are renowned for our creative access solutions, and this project was no exception. We take pride in ensuring that all of our specialist operatives undergo regular IRATA training, making sure that they are up to date and aware of the latest standards.
This meant that there was no need to erect costly scaffolding, which would have caused great disruption to the coffee shop below. Instead, our abseilers could work and repair the property via rope and operate with baskets beneath them to catch any fallen material.
This enabled Starbucks to stay open (so you could have your coffee in the morning) and provided the client with a cost-effective service.
The Highlights
Our creative access solutions and forward-thinking attitude allowed this repair to be a seamless success. We also completed it well before the deadline and are very proud of how our team overcame the challenges without any hurdles. In the end, we saved around £13k through the use of our abseilers instead of scaffolding.
