Building clean down for the Babcock Technology Centre

The Babcock Technology Centre is a five-storey office building located in the Bristol Business Park, just north of Bristol City Centre. The 85,790 sq ft building has been created to accommodate various operating divisions of the international engineering support services company, the Babcock Group. OneFifty was contracted by the building contractor to carry out a final building clean before the new occupants started to move in.  

Two-tone composite cladding and glass

The exterior of the building is comprised of tall vertical composite panels clad in two colour tones and huge glazed window panels all of which needed to be cleaned. Our mission was to clean the panels and windows and ensure everything was left sparkling clean.   

Know-how achieves the best results

We used our Reach and Wash system to carry out the work, alongside one of our MEWPs to allow us to access and clean the highest sections of the building. 

Reach and Wash uses deionised water applied using a soft brush from a water-fed pole to leave a crystal clear finish. However, the operator needs to achieve an even pressure across all surfaces being cleaned to ensure the best possible result. We find that, the longer the pole, the less control the operator has, especially using a pole longer than 10 meters. Using our MEWP to access the highest areas of the building allows us to use shorter poles, which are lighter and easier to control, thus guaranteeing the best possible finish across both the cladding and the glass.

Our client was delighted with the outcome, and impressed by how we planned and managed the project, including dealing with the Health and Safety element of the high-level access. We are looking forward to working with them again soon.
