Emergency Glass Make Safe

Following the enquiry and subsequent site visit and survey from a Technology client in Surrey, our Glazing Refurbishments Team have recently completed an Emergency Make Safe to a high level glazed unit.

The works included the controlled removal of fractured external frame on a high rise building to minimise the possibility of the damaged glass falling dangerously, potentially causing harm to people or vehicles below. In order to do this safely, the area below was first made safe so that work could commence. A film was then placed over the glass to stop any fragments of glass from coming off during the controlled removal.

A team of IRATA Level 3 trained abseilers descended to make it safe from from outside, whilst internal operatives assisted from the inside. Once the film was placed, the abseil team could then safely remove the glass and lower it to the ground below for safe disposal.
