Issue
It’s often not about banging up 100 sheets a week. Regular clients need tailor-made (and often) imaginative solutions for issues in the buildings, often involving ingenuity and retrofitting.
In this instance, our good long-standing pharmaceutical client in Hertfordshire cladded the (previously tiled) wall surfaces in their changing rooms, as part of a refurbishment project, with Trovex Diamond hygienic cladding (welded and thermoformed) – undertaken by Goss – and installed new lockers and cubicles.
However, due to a design oversight, there was a void left in the corners where the lockers met (see below) and the client was concerned this was an ongoing dirt trap in a facility where the utmost levels of cleanliness and hygiene are critical in all areas.
Solution
- During a facility shut down, Goss Environmental Coatings Ltd cladding teams (Trovex Select Installer) delivered on the entire project:
- Liaised with the client
- Re-entered the area
- Dismantled and removed the lockers in the target rooms (4 changing areas)
- Built a stud framework
- Re-cladded with Trovex Diamond
- Replaced the lockers
- Reworked the ceiling tiles
- Re-siliconed, with minimum disruption to the client’s ongoing operations, all during a short duration shutdown period.
- All sheets were fixed with two-pack adhesive, thermoformed and welded
- All materials were sourced directly from the proprietary manufacturer.
