Crane And Robot Lifting (Difficult Access Cladding Services)

Builders now use several components to construct the exterior of most modern buildings. The components are either assembled in the factory or installed on-site. The upside of this new building trend is an outstanding appearance from a wide range of materials.

However, these new designs have potential problems resulting from the durability of the materials, fixings' safety, and workmanship.

At SG Commercial Glaziers, we have a team of specialists with IRATA and IPAF qualifications that conduct independent condition surveys on residential, industrial, historic and commercial buildings.

We carry out excellent survey cladding systems services for cladding system pathologies and general defects. Our experts use rope access techniques which allow for high speed in collecting data and an accurate survey without employing high costs from installing power access systems and erecting scaffolding.

We also carry out thorough literature reviews of construction drawings, related documentation and cladding panel specifications when necessary. Before surveying the building, our experts take this step to better understand your system's installation.
