Duxford Imperial War Museum required a specialist contractor to undertake works on the Sir Norman Foster designed American Air Museum Hangar.
Working alongside a Principle Contractor, Glazing Refurbishment were instructed to conduct the removal, repair and reinstatement of the existing curtain wall system.
The size and scale of the project required specialist planning with the glazed panels, weighing over half a tonne each, requiring removal from the existing structure and transporting for storage. To enable works, the Projects Team sourced a variety of specialist access machinery to include cranes and MEWPS to assist with the removal of the large glazed panels and steel mullion/transom details.
