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.

Silo Cleaning using Rope Access Methods

Silo Cleaning using Rope Access Methods

Our Specialist Confined Space Team have been working in a number of Silo over the last weekend.

Access into the Silo was made by Rope Access Methods

Our Specialist Team have over 9 years of Confined Space Experience all works are overseen by a Confined Space Supervisor trained to City & Guilds Level 4 (972)

Working in Confined Spaces not only requires appropriate Training but also Knowledge an Understanding of the working conditions.......possessing a Confined Space Training Certificate alone is worthless.....and Companies should not be used without prior Experience & Knowledge.

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

Rope Access Building Inspection by Complete Access

Rope Access Building Inspection

We have just completed a 2 week exercise to a large office block in Coventry.

Our brief was to take a number of Cover, Sample, Carb tests to various concrete locations around the building....

Using a Cover Meter to determine lowest depth of cover to re-bar .......concrete samples were taken at each location for Lab analysis and Carb Tests were taken measured to determine depth of carbonation.

The other part of Our brief was to carry out a  full safety defect survey    .....this included measurement and documenting of all existing defects including hollow points and removal of any loose substrate.

Our Specialist Building Inspection Team  completed this project on time and on budget.

The Confined Space itself held a lot of Risks

Risk of Flood
Presence of Methane from silt disruption.
Depletion of Oxygen from moss & algae growth.
Weils Disease.
Hypothermia.
Noise reverberation.
Rescue

The culvert was also located adjacent to a Petrol Station where there was a potential risk of fuel spillage.
