Equans, Chemistry Building
Client:
Equans
Location:
Cambridge
Summary:
A large glass pane shattered in an Equans-managed Cambridge building, creating a safety risk. Glazing Renovations were called in to replace it, facing challenges such as limited access requiring a MEWP, thin glass handling, and tight deadlines. The team safely and efficiently completed the replacement, securing the area throughout. Their successful work reinforced Equans’ trust, marking the second time they’ve been chosen for their reliability and high standards.
Introduction
An Equans-managed building located in Cambridge had a large pane in a corridor on the first floor shattered at the bottom of the glass, leaving it more vulnerable, weaker, and unsafe. This meant the glass required replacement, and so Glazing Renovations, a nationwide expert in glazing maintenance, renovations, and repairs, was contacted due to their experience in the field.
Scope of works
The Challenge
However, the glass posed a challenge to access because it was installed on the exterior, with a basement entrance directly below it, necessitating the use of a Mobile Elevated Work Platform (MWEP) for safe access. The glass was also thin, making it a delicate handling and fitting process. Not only this, but the time frame given to Glazing Renovations was quite limited, and so the team had to act quickly to ensure everything was replaced correctly and on time for the client.
How we overcame this
With diligence and expertise, the Glazing Renovations team successfully removed and replaced the glass, prioritizing safety throughout the process. A secure barricade was established around the work area, preventing any inadvertent access by staff and students during the replacement work. This proactive measure ensured a safe working environment while guaranteeing the successful execution of the glass replacement project.
The results
The successful execution of this project not only restored the structural integrity of the glass but also upheld the client’s trust in Glazing Renovations as a reliable partners in their ongoing maintenance and renovation needs. This project serves as a testament to the Glazing Renovation team’s dedication to delivering top-tier glazing solutions while prioritising the safety of all involved.
This is now the second time Equans has reached out to Glazing Renovations after demonstrating their efficiency, quality, and commitment to high standards during their last visit.
