The Challanges & Risks
We Draw On Our 20+ Years of Experience to Overcome Barriers
The location of the office was difficult as it was situated in an occupied building, with other residents nearby.
1
Working in a occupied building
We are often required to work in occupied buildings so this is something we come across regularly. We were required to undertake noisy works during certain hours of the day, avoiding weekend working to appease the nearby residents.
2
Accessing the roof
Condesers were located on the 3rd floor roof, we could not get the condensers to the roof via a crane as the building is bordered by a food market.
We had to route our way from ground to roof level with the project team and by working out of hours to achieve this. We also had to dismantle the plant so we could transport to the roof without the need for a crane.
