Level 2 Glass Change

Mid City Place

Problem: The client requested our help to replace a shattered glass panel on the second floor, the glass posed a danger to cars and pedestrian below

The solution: To attend site inside normal working hours to remove the damaged glass panel from external 2nd floor elevation. Install replacement panel 35mm sealed glass unit 1590mm x 3000mm. Works will involve access and lifting equipment.

Challenges

  • Immediate action was needed upon survey but was late so night was coming on very rapidly, decreasing visibility
  • Getting articulated lorry to drop off skyjack due to tight turning circles, it was very import to get this handled in a timely matter
  • We had to break out the broken toughened glass and all the residue without injuring anyone or any object below

Solutions

  • We successfully put together RAMS, labour and got a MEWP to site same evening to remove the shattered skin to prevent it potentially falling
  • We temporillary closed a road while a banksman guided the driver
  • Ensured full ppe was worn and also expanded the safe exclusion zone below the path off the glass removal
