We were contacted urgently by a hotel in Glasgow facing an issue of water ingress. The call came in the previous day, with repair work needing to be completed ASAP. The water ingress required immediate action to prevent further damage to the building’s interior and maintain guest comfort and safety.
The hotel management reported water ingress through the building’s cladding, which could potentially lead to significant structural damage and affect the hotel’s operations. They needed fast responding rope access services to be able to gain access to the location, identify the sources of ingress and provide a solution. Scaffolding would take too long to erect – they needed work done now!
Our rope access team promptly responded to the call and arrived on site the very next day. The objectives were to Conduct a thorough survey of the cladding to identify potential points of water ingress and then seal any identified vulnerabilities to prevent further water penetration.
Upon arrival, our experienced rope access services team conducted a detailed visual and tactile inspection of the building’s cladding. The survey included:
After identifying the problem areas, our rope access team used high-quality sealants suitable for the building materials and environmental conditions of Glasgow. The sealing process involved:
Glasgow’s unpredictable weather posed a challenge. Even in the early parts of Summer, the weather in Glasgow can always work against you. This required our rope access team to work swiftly and efficiently during suitable weather conditions.
Because of the hotel’s height and the complexity of the cladding system, rope access services was the right choice for the hotel. Access platforms would not be able to reach all the areas required for the cladding inspection to have been completed thoroughly and scaffolding would have taken too long to erect. The work necessitated expert rope access techniques to safely and effectively reach all areas requiring inspection and sealing.
The rapid response and efficient sealing completed by our rope access team mitigated the immediate water ingress issue, preventing further damage to the hotel’s interior. The use of high-quality sealants ensures long-lasting protection against future water ingress.
