Red Building Gutter and Fascia Replacement
Failed roof plumbing and environmental weathering led to the need to replace the existing gutter and fascia board. Careful planning with key stakeholders ensured construction work did not impede operations or pose any risk to site users. Throughout the project, strict safety protocols were followed, especially given that repairs were performed at a height of 8 metres, to protect both workers and those on site.

Challenges
-
The gutter and fascia board required replacement were 8m high.
-
Through tougher investigation of the structures onsite it was identified that licence asbestos. removal was required prior to any plumbing work could be achieved.
-
Managing removal of asbestos on an active facility.
-
Installation of new waterproofing membrane to existing facility roof.
Outcome
Works were conducted on the weekend to reduce risk of asbestos works affecting site users. Once asbestos was safely removed, installation of the new fascia board was performed.
Guttering was installed and reinstatement of waterproofing membrane was required to ensure building remained protected from water ingress.
