Rope Access Building Inspections Birmingham

Building Inspection and Survey using Rope Access Methods

Our most recent project consisted of carrying out a full safety defect inspection to two large office blocks in Solihull.

The Building Managers had had reports of spalling concrete off the building.

Our Specialist Rope Access Team were tasked to carry out a full safety defect survey, logging and referencing any existing defects and new defects.

Any new defects were found by hammer testing the building surface for hollow points which could mean delamination of the substrate......this was then removed.

We had also been tasked to find out depth of cover to the re-bar using cover meters

 

After choosing the lowest point of cover, a sample was taken and a carbonation test carried out.

Silo Cleaning using Rope Access Methods

Silo Cleaning using Rope Access Methods

We have just completed another annual clean to a number of silo's for a National Bakery.

We have been cleaning the silo's for a number of years now, we put this down to our high level of Health & Safety  and experience of Working in Confined Spaces  All of our works are overseen by a Confined Space Supervisor certificated to City & Guilds Level 4

Our Specialist Rope Access Team entered the silo to carry out a thorough dust down and removal of excess flour prior to re supply of the new product.

One of the silo's that needed cleaning was already having some maintenance works carried out in the form of a new air filtration system, the existing filter system had been removed and the hole had not been covered up to prevent rain getting in. Rain had got into the silo and had contaminated the layer of flour left inside the silo, over time this created mildew and we were left with no option but to pressure wash the silo to de-contaminate it ready for product re-supply

as you can see in this picture - the mildew is being removed by pressure washing.

Rope Access Building Inspection

Rope Access Water Ingress Survey

We were tasked to carry out a full water ingress inspection to a high rise block.

The inspection consisted of removing course work to expose the cavity wall to inspect the cavity tray and wall ties......most of this was carried out 15 storeys up.

Window frames were also measured for consistency and inspected for missing gasket joints, remedial repairs were done where needed.

Our findings : Previous repairs to the coursework had not left weep holes exposed.....original coursework had porous mortar and rain water was ingressing via this route and had no exit.


all of which was carried out by our Rope Access Specialist Building Inspection Team

Rope Access Leak Detection

Rope Access Leak Detection & Mastic Pointing

We have over 20 Flats that we need to Mastic Point due to Water Ingress

Most of which is mastic insertion to panel joints - We used Dow Corning C60 Low Modulus Silicone which is formulated for use to exterior concrete joints.

 

We were tasked to drill & insert 13mm breather pipes into the substrate

 

We were also contacted by one of our existing clients - a Large Property Management Company in Birmingham.....one of their buildings had various water ingress locations, The Building Managers had looked in to using powered access and even scaffolding ....both of which were not viable.....

 our Specialist Rope Access Building Inspection Technicians carried out the works with success with no disruption to the building occupants.....we have since been asked to quote on sealing more elevations as a preventative measure.

Rope Access Cladding Safety Survey

Rope Access Cladding Safety Survey

We were tasked to inspect the cladded areas on 3 High Rise Tower Blocks owned by Birmingham City Council ......the cladded areas were situated on top of the Tower Blocks .....these used to be the protection for the clothes drying areas back in the day.

We had been told that a cladding panel measuring 20ft x 4ft had blown off during the storms and that West Midlands Fire Service had been called in over the Xmas period to try and secure the situation.

 

 

Our Specialist Rope Access Building Inspection Team were tasked to survey the cladding on all 3 blocks ......the results were not good ......

The cladding ....both external and internal was attached to intermediate steels ...both vertical and horizontal .....the vertical intermediate steels had severely corroded and failed at roof level thus leaving the only attachment for the cladding ....the horizontal steels and structural verts at each gable and centre

 

 

 

Our findings were passed on to BCC and the decision to remove all cladding on 3 blocks was made
