Roof Void Survey for Large Bakery
Client: Undisclosed
Duration: 1.5 Days
Location: Cornwall
Value: Undisclosed
Project Background
The survey provided a Bakery with a clear understanding of the current state of their roof void, including a detailed account of all faults and recommendations for remediation. The client could make informed decisions about any necessary repairs or upgrades to maintain the safety and functionality of their facility.
Objectives
- Conduct a comprehensive inspection of the insulated panel roof void at the Bakery
- Evaluate the structural integrity of ceiling panel supports, trims, and any penetrations through the panels.
- Ensure all service supports within the roof void are correctly installed and compliant with safety standards.
- Deliver a detailed report with findings, including descriptions and photographs of identified faults, within two weeks of completing the survey.
Scope of Work
Panel Inspection: Inspect all insulated roof void panels for signs of delamination and assess their overall condition.
Support and Trim Assessment: Check the condition of ceiling panel supports and trims to ensure they are structurally sound.
Penetration Checks: Verify that all penetrations through the panels are properly patched, with a focus on larger penetrations that need additional support.
Service Support Survey: Assess the installation and security of service supports within the roof void.
Documentation and Reporting: Document all identified faults, with accompanying photographs, and compile these into a detailed report delivered within two weeks.
Follow-up and Recommendations: Provide a quotation and additional site visits for any necessary fault rectifications if requested
Challenges and Solutions
Challenge: Limited visibility and confined spaces within the roof void.
Solution: Phased construction with a dedicated site compound for efficient access and storage.
Challenge: Navigating potential hazards in the roof void, such as uneven surfaces and low clearance
Solution: Implemented regular safety audits and maintained strict compliance through detailed planning and collaboration.
Challenge: Coordinating the survey without disrupting production.
Solution: collaborated closely with the client to ensure minimal impact on their production schedule
