The challenge
Weathering, thermal expansion and moisture had damaged the facades of several commercial and institutional buildings: degraded plaster, cracking and water ingress.
Repairs had to be carried out on occupied buildings, with safe access to the full facade and protection of pedestrians below.
Scope of works
- Scaffolding and suspended platforms for safe access to the facades
- Removal of damaged render, concrete repair and breathable repair mortars
- Injection grouting, crack stitching and sealing of expansion joints
- Anti-carbonation coatings and weather-resistant facade finishes
Outcome
The facades were fully restored and protected against moisture, improving durability and appearance. Where scaffolding is impractical, the same work is carried out by our rope access technicians. See also the suspended platforms installation project.
