Approach: Vertac Height Services devised a methodology to address several substrate defects prior to painting. One of the highlights of the project was the removal of a 3-tonne redundant external fire escape via abseil. The structure was cut to manageable 200kg sections, and safely lowered down via abseil.
Methodology:
• Facade painting
• Concrete repairs (5 locations)
• Rebar repairs via welding (1 location)
• Crack repairs (60 lm)
