Fully Encapsulated Scaffold Blasting Project
Commercial
- Surface and material
- Full building elevation behind scaffold
- Existing condition
- Elevation requiring blast cleaning in a location where dust and debris had to be fully contained.
- The problem
- Open blasting was not acceptable on the site, so the works area had to be sealed before any abrasive was used.
- Method used
- Scaffold fully encapsulated in sheeting, with blasting carried out inside the contained zone.
- Work completed
- Scaffold sheeted and sealed, blasting completed within the encapsulation, spent abrasive collected inside the containment and removed from site.
- Result
- Elevation prepared with dust and debris kept entirely within the works area.
