This pumping station had not been painted in years, and the condition of the cladding was very poor. Due to the age of the original paint, as part of our stringent risk assessment, we requested a paint sample be taken to check for the presence of asbestos before we could begin. Fortunately, a satisfactory report was returned, and we were able to proceed with the necessary redecorating. We faced several challenges, including painting hot metal cladding during the UK's brief summer period, and, as some of the elevations at the station are situated over water it was necessary to have scaffolding erected around the exterior to provide safe means of access throughout the duration of the works. Despite these minor obstacles, another successful project for Heron was completed. #heronpaintersanddecorators #heroncontractors #gatwickairport #ProjectCompletion #Infrastructure #PumpingStation #RiskAssessment #SafetyFirst #AsbestosTesting #Scaffolding #Redevelopment #IndustrialPainting #HeronProjects #UKConstruction #SummerChallenges #TeamSuccess #SafeAccess #Maintenance #EngineeringSolutions #Renovation #ConstructionSafety #ProjectManagement #SuccessStory

Contractors. You deserve better than compromised safety on site. That means no more non-compliant timber temporary fire doors ❌ ...and lots more heavy-duty steel temporary fire doors ✔ Witness the problem. Embrace the solution. 👌 #firedoors #sitesafety #constructionsite #sitework

Sadly this was the case of another life being lost within the construction industry due to disregard of safe systems of work, specifically loading of spandrel panelling onto the roofs only after the trusses had been properly secured as stated within the method statement for this particular part of the work. The trusses had been loaded onto the roofs but only temporarily secured with timber restraints which would not have given enough stability for the wind that eventually caused the collapse of the trusses and panelling to the work area below and causing the fatal injuries mentioned. As mentioned before, ignorance of the method statement was cited in the investigation but also a lack of consideration for spandrel panelling being stored at height and the likelihood of side winds causing instability. Method statements are structured in such a way that working operations are carried out in the safest and most logical way possible, disregarding these documents can and will put people at risk of injury or, as in this incident, death.

🚨 Why Your Siding is Failing: Is Your Contractor Cutting Corners?🚨 Ever wonder why your wood siding is failing? Often, it's because an important step gets skipped: not putting primer on the ends of the siding boards. Missing this can lead to big water leaks and expensive fixes. 🔍 In Our Video: We demonstrate why it's crucial to put primer on siding ends and how a lot of carpenters miss this. Why This Matters: Knowing this helps you pick a contractor who does the job right. 💡 Your Thoughts? As an owner, has this happened to you? As a carpenter or contractor, do you seal the ends of the boards? If not, why not? #SidingRepairs #SidingMaintenance #SidingInstallation #SidingTips

According to OSHA, scaffolding footings in construction must be level, rigid, sound, and able to support the loaded scaffold without settling or moving. The footing should also be on a properly prepared substrate that can take the load transferred by the footing and provide a stable base for the scaffolding. The height of the footing can be adjusted if the ground is uneven.

How are your contractors ensuring that the property around your project stays safe and unharmed? While standard practice to catch roofing debris is to lay down tarps around your building, we take this one step further by using catch-all screens for our roofing jobs. This includes our commercial and multi-building work. This extra protection keeps nails and debris away from the siding, other buildlings, doors and windows which could otherwise damage these areas. When our crew is finished, our crew does a full inspection of the perimiter as a double-check. The next time you're in need of a commercial external contractor, give us a call. We are professionals in our roofing, siding and window services and go the extra mile to ensure your project is done safely, on time and on budget. #roofingspecialists #exteriorcontractor #detailsmatter #commercialcontractor
