CASE STUDIES: THESE
NEED TO BE ALL LINK INSERTED TO 3 SECTORS LISTED
Title: High Level
Commercial Cleaning at Abergavenny Market Hall
Client: Monmouth
County Council, Abergavenny Market Hall
Project: The
Senior property services manager called APT to arrange a short notice high
level commercial deep cleaning and commercial painting of the Abergavenny
market hall which was a venue picked to host the confirmed 2015 Welsh National Eisteddfod.
The Challenge
There was over 8000
square meters of wall and high level cleaning of ceiling surfaces, windows and
glass cleaning, steel pilasters' and intricate steel work. There was further cleaning
and commercial decorating to lower ground floor areas and a further 1000 meters
of wood ceiling panelling to be cleaned and then washed off. This all had to be
completed within 3 days working continuous 12 hour shifts.
APT’s Solution
APT met with the client’s building managers and safety officers
to discuss the remit and carried out a full survey of the property.
There were several factors and obstacles to overcome, we had
three day notice to arrange and start the works, we had only three days to
complete the job as building was a major busy venue and was in use on almost a
daily basis making it very limited for access. The internal shape and height were
major factors due to the floor and limited weight loadings and small entrance
doorways to bring in the access lifts required to reach the highest areas. The
small stalls and shops with open areas would all have to be covered and sealed.
After receiving the approval, we arranged the cleaning
program and completed a full health and safety plan. We hired the specialised
lift access to ensure the safe integrity of the floor areas.
The Result
The results spoke for themselves; the building was transformed
and was extremely well received by all the local authority, market stall
holders and delegates for the special meeting.
The deep cleaning of the area of ceiling panel showed the
client the well kept paintwork and the possible savings of the proposed tens of
thousands it would cost to repaint the ceiling panels and steel structures.
