• Standing tall above all of the surrounding properties , each roof had numerous phone masts placed in key locations that would affect our works . The presence of these masts limited our ability to work safely in certain areas , meaning a proactive approach was required in communications with the mast operators to ensure that they were deactivated during the works in order to avoid any risks to our teams . In addition , 2 masts required a full ‘ lift-and-shift ’, which had to be planned 4 months in advance of the project to avoid long-term delays .
• Although the property was going through a full refurbishment , throughout the project the hotel remained open , including during the Wimbledon weeks , requiring our teams to work and ensure that they were out of site , did not disturb the hotel users and ensure that at all times even though we were stripping up the roof , it had to be watertight and no further leaks could occur .
• The volume of plant that was present on the roof , including chillers , AC units and large amounts of pipework meant that the working space and clearance from the deck was limited and a bespoke approach was needed , ensuring that all areas of the roof could safely be stripped and replaced in line with the specification and manufacturer ’ s requirements . This was especially important when designing and fitting the tapered insulation .
• With all of the other works being undertaken at the same time , each contractor had their own storage , office and working space , which limited our own ability to create these . Through pre-project meetings and positive discussions with the hotel , we managed to utilise the empty space they had on site , seamlessly creating storage , offices and welfare for our teams , without disturbing others .
• With the above in mind , although the summer is the best time to begin work early in order to make the most of the longer sunshine hours , this was not possible due to the building being a hotel . We agreed with the hotel team that work would not begin until 9am , with no noisy work until 10am , which limited the hours we were able to deliver the project . By understanding this from the outset and having already forged a strong relationship with the client , we were able to take these timescales on board and deliver the project successfully , whilst minimising any disruption to the hotel ’ s clientele .
