Heritage joinery works at 1-14 University Gardens (listed buildings). Works to increase the fire protection of heritage doors and windows (Georgian Wired Glass) whilst maintaining their original appearance.
Completion date
February 2020
Value
£150,000
Summary
University Gardens is a Renaissance style terrace of townhouses by the architect John James Burnet.
Over the course of 6 months, our team successfully remediated and improved the fire rating of over 180 doors and a dozen stained glass elements while preserving their heritage look. All works were planned around the schedules of the building users in each building, causing minimal disturbance to the otherwise highly populated terraced houses.
The high level of attention to detail and expertise of our joiners resulted in the client having considerably improved fire safety within the listed buildings.
Project description
Heritage joinery works at 1-17 Lilybank Gardens (listed buildings). Works to increase the fire protection of heritage doors whilst maintaining their original appearance.
Completion date
May 2020
Value
£100,000
Summary
Lilybank Gardens is a series of terraced buildings from the late 1880s that have retained a lot of exterior and interior details from this period.
Our team was tasked with remediating over 200 doors over the course of two months. Several doors, previously thought to be beyond repair, have improved fire protection properties, saving the University thousands of pounds. The project was managed effectively during the COVID-19 period by following all strict on-site rules and still meeting expected timescales.
The client was very satisfied with the end result as we successfully created the illusion that some of the newly added components that now improve the doors’ fire rating were always there.
Added Value
Working closely with the client to identify their needs between the overlapping Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas (Scotland) Act 1997 and Fire (Scotland)
Act 2005. As a result the fire rating of the building was improved. Due to the effective project management, the works were carried out with minimal disturbance
caused to the building users.
Fire Doors Remediation works at a University in Glasgow.
Completion date
Ongoing.
Value
£400,000+
Summary
Within the last year we have remediated over 1000 fire doors at a university in Glasgow. The work was spread across a variety of buildings, each with its own unique layout, challenges, and asset conditions.
Much of the work was planned around the highly populated infrastructure and required skilful coordination and the ability to work with the building managers to come up with the best suitable schedule tailored to our clients.
Our fire door remediation programme within the massive estate continues to date. With bi-annual fire door inspections and remediation works where required, our client can rest assured that their building users are safe, and their buildings are compliant with British standards.
Project description
Fire Door Remediation and Survey for Government Body.
Completion date
Ongoing.
Value
£50,000
Summary
Starting February 2021, we have been subcontracted to carry out fire door inspections and remediation works for a government body with hundreds of locations throughout the UK. Within the first two months we remediated over 100 fire doors with a further 700 doors lined up for survey and remediation works thereafter.
Due to the nature of the work areas and adherence to privacy requirements, a meticulous pre-planning stage was required. Daily liaison with client site contacts was established to prepare upcoming work areas and cause minimal disturbance to the building users. Upon request, remedial works were carried out during out of office hours. This ensured that client operations are not disrupted and allowed for the essential maintenance works for life and asset preservation can be carried out within SLAs.
With compliant assets, excellent communication, planning as well as an asset tracking system that monitors maintenance frequency and requirements: our client is more than satisfied with our performance. We will continue to further our mutually beneficial relationship and look after their passive fire protection needs.
Added Value
We carried out a series of projects from survey through to remediation and handover by utilising our versatile CAFM system, providing our clients with a plethora of benefits.
Our clients now have access to each asset’s history, can better plan statutory maintenance visits and track lifecycle costing for each fire door - all which ultimately save
time and thousands of pounds from their budgets annually.
Fire stopping works (stairwells, plant rooms, server rooms) across 13 levels at the Library, University of Glasgow.
Completion date
September 2020
Value
£60,000
Summary
The University of Glasgow’s Library was built in 1968 following the design of the architect William Whitfield. It has an extremely high footfall with an estimate of over 1.7 million annual visitors. The Library also hosts special collections that are classed as being of national and international importance. Following recent major building improvements and refurbishments, we undertook major fire stopping works throughout the 13-storey building.
Firestopping any breaches in service risers using batt, mastic, fire collars and firestop compound as required.
Application of intumescent mastic to any movement joints and head of walls.
Firestopping works to compartment walls and floors.
Where necessary, intumescent paint was applied to provide 60 to 90 minutes of protection.
Following the successful project delivery, the spread of fire and smoke within the Library will be contained up to a high standard, helping to preserve the lives of all building users and protect the valuable assets.
Project description
Fire stopping works at a student accommodation in Glasgow.
Completion date
February 2020
Value
£150,000
Summary
In late 2019 we were contracted to carry out a full firestopping review of a large student accommodation comprised of 15 building blocks. Subsequently, we carried out all necessary works over the span of three months.
The work involved firestopping within all attic areas, kitchens, staircase risers as well as electrical risers using a combination of firestopping techniques. Namely, sealing all penetrations with Rockwool intumescent batt and mastic, using 110mm pipe wrap and Rockwool multicable firestop where appropriate.
Due to the nature of the building, residents needed to be given plenty of notice before works could commence in each area. With meticulous project planning and frequent communication with the building manager, we had an uninterrupted flow of works, which enabled us to deliver the project within the expected timeline.
As a result, the student accommodation now has effective compartmentation that will meet the statutory obligations and slow the spread of fire and keep all residents safe in the event of fire.
Added Value
Upon completion we can produce records for all works carried out including the name of the installer, location, size of penetration and the specified system
used to protect the area. Each installation can be identified as a unique asset through an electronic data recording process with detailed drawings and photographic
support. Building users can also utilise the contact information provided on labels that we fit on each fire stop on site. This will allow them to be in touch and deal
with maintenance of existing fire stopping installations or future service penetrations.
"We believe that corporate responsibility is about considering the whole process, every step that our business takes from internal policies to external dealings with clients and suppliers."
