Defective Overhead Glazing Unit Replacement

Glazing Refurbishments have recently been contacted by a client in Central London to complete the works involved in replacing a fractured overhead double glazed unit.

At the first instance, Glazing Refurbishments met with the client to discuss the possible options. To fully understand the extent of the problem, a site survey was conducted, which gave us the information required to inform the client of the full extent of the works to be carried out in order to bring the glass back up to standard.

To carry out the survey, we utilised our team of IRATA trained abseil technicians. In doing so we were able to identify the necessary works quickly and easily to ensure the client had could make an upfront decision.

The works were to include the removal of the existing double glazed unit, introduction of new transom detail and replacement of the which were to be completed with 4 IRATA trained high level abseil technicians externally and 2 technicians internally. This would include mobile man anchors, ropes and harnesses.

For the removal of the defective unit and installation of the new unit, a contract lift and external cranage combination would be required. This would include a powered suction lifter and secondary strapping device/manipulator.
