Innovative High-Level Cleaning for Glasgow’s 300 Bath Street

We are delighted to share a case study that demonstrates our expertise in tackling complex projects. Our mission is to provide innovative solutions, the way you’d do it yourself and this project perfectly aligns with our commitment to delivering tailored packages from one-off services to fully integrated Facilities Management.

Project Overview

We were tasked with executing a complex window and facade cleaning project on the iconic 300 Bath Street property, which towers over the M8 motorway in Glasgow. This project presented unique challenges due to its location and the requirement to minimise disruptions to the busy arterial route below.

Key Highlights

1

High-level access equipment: We utilised state-of-the-art high-level access equipment, to include a vehicle mounted 56m boom and platform along with rope access techniques. This equipment enabled us to safely reach and clean even the most challenging areas of 300 Bath Street.

2

Innovative reach and wash system: In line with our commitment to sustainability, we introduced an innovative reach and wash system that utilised purified water. This not only ensured a pristine, streak-free finish but also minimised the environmental impact of the cleaning process.

3

Collaboration with stakeholders: Effective collaboration with multiple stakeholders, including local authorities, traffic management teams, and the building’s owners, was crucial to the success of this project. We maintained constant communication to ensure the seamless closure of the M8 on separate evenings, minimising traffic disruption and enhancing safety.

Challenges

The most significant challenges we faced was the need to close both the East and Westbound sides of the M8 motorway overnight to ensure safety. This required meticulous planning, including obtaining the necessary permits, and maintaining consistent communication with all parties involved. Additionally, we navigated the intricacies of temporarily shutting down Glasgow’s Low Emission Zone (LEZ) cameras in the project vicinity to facilitate the safe and uninterrupted execution of our high-level cleaning operation.

Results

The project was executed with precision, showcasing our ability to overcome unique challenges through innovative solutions and collaborative efforts, the windows and facades of 300 Bath Street were revitalised, greatly improving its aesthetics.

Our collaboration with our specialist supply chain partners in this complex window and facade cleaning project over Glasgow’s iconic 300 Bath Street exemplifies our commitment to providing innovative facility solutions. We pride ourselves on the successful delivery of this complex project, improving the appearance of one of Glasgow’s infamous and iconic property’s while minimising disruptions to the bustling M8 motorway.
