Facilities Management
We secured this 5 year contract with Glasgow Royal Infirmary through our strategic partnership with Imagile Professional Services to provide painting and repairs of structural steelwork.
5 Years
The Glasgow Royal Infirmary car park covers five floors and is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. We secured this contract through our strategic partnership with Imagile Professional Services to provide painting and repairs of structural steelwork, completing one floor each year for the five-year duration.
The key to a high-quality paint finish in steel stripping is the preparation – if the steel has not been properly prepared, no amount of paint will give a quality long-lasting finish. So, with this in mind, we have adopted a technique of dry blasting using various levels of compressed air to force an abrasive steel media onto the surface to be cleaned. This removes all previously applied paint including rust spots to create a solid and clean surface for painting and enabling achievement of the 20-year guarantee.
The product chosen is from Jotun Paints and is spray applied to achieve a 30-minute fire retardant, cellulosic fire protection. The Jotun thin film intumescent coatings are specifically formulated to provide a chemical reaction upon heating, changing physical form to provide fire protection through a thermal insulation and cooling effect that achieves the desired intumescent coating value.
We are focusing on one floor level at a time which we divide into three distinct areas, all of which is encased in clear heavy-duty sheeting to allow in the light, reduce the noise to the surrounding area and also preventing any debris from leaving the work area. To gain access, an ‘airlock’ passageway is created allowing the operative to test their PPE before entering the work area.
Working with the car park management team to achieve the highest levels of public safety, we developed a detailed Traffic Management Plan during mobilisation which allows the car park to be open at all times, whilst reducing as far as possible the disruption to those using the facilities.
