CAN undertook the refurbishment of a building façade adjacent to the operational railway and associated overhead line electrification, requiring window removal and replacement, brick repointing, masonry repairs, cleaning and painting.
CAN’s in-house designed cantilevered roof rig was installed to overcome a high roof level parapet wall and provide the required anchor points to access the facade.
A detailed rigging procedure was developed for the installation of CAN-Span working platforms, incorporating habitat containment systems to eliminate the possibility of ropes, rigging or cables encroaching on the operational railway.
CAN-Span provided a stable working platform and containment system enabling the works to take place without the need for any rail possessions throughout the duration of this seven-month project.
Key benefits of the system included dramatically reducing the cost of refurbishment works and enabling all of the façade refurbishment to be completed within the required project programme.
