Task
It
was a busy centre of town location so had to liaise with site manager the best
site management to ensure safety to pedestrian and other contractors.
We
carried out a sample of the soda blasting and the client approved the finish.
We then carried out the works outside of opening hours starting with the outside
facade soda blast cleaning.
We
arranged the internal works to correspond with the delivery of the specialist
materials and the client’s very short works programme and the removal and
installation of the secured night safe.
