We have recently carried out a Safety Survey to a High-Rise residential property in Hanley after a fire had broken out and engulfed the top corner of the High Rise.
Our Rope Access Building Inspection Team were tasked to undertake the following:
- Complete a Wall Tie Survey to the affected areas on the front and gable elevations.
- Removal of numerous amounts of coursework to spandrels to assess fire wall and its current condition, also to assess the condition of the cavity voids.
- Carry out a location Defect Survey and remove any loose debris.
- Carry out a hammer test to the affected area.
All findings were recorded on a desktop report to be used as reference when a refurbishment occurs.
The Safety Survey was carried out using Rope Access which was by far the most financially beneficial means of access on this site – we find that Rope Access far out ways other means of access economically in similar scenarios.
