Many innovative alternatives - a new approach to cleaning heat transfer equipment
The owner of a Victorian terrace property in the heart of London decided to completely refurbish the facade of his impressive residence. After researching various facade cleaning methods and speaking with a number of industrial cleaning contractors the owner decided on Tube Tech’s innovative laser cleaning service.
This classic Victorian terrace was located on a busy London road and the sandstone facade had become damaged through environmental pollution. Exhaust fumes and everyday grime were evident on the front fascia and window surrounds. Traditional facade cleaning options “ such as sand, slurry, water and and sodium bicarbonate blasting “ all create excessive waste and the pavement surrounding the house would need to be cordoned off to the public during the clean. Such restrictions would have involved the local council and significantly increased the costs of the project.
Using the worlds fastest laser cleaning system, up to 4 x faster than any other system available, Tube Tech were able to successfully clean the sandstone facade and window surrounds in two eight hour shifts, with zero waste!!. Both portable and quiet the Laser allowed pedestrians to walk in close proximity to the building. Grime and environmental pollutants were removed from the sandstone base “ a process called ablation “ There was no damage to the underlying substrate. The highly trained Tube Tech technicians were able to work quickly and safely across the facade and achieved the immaculate clean which the client was looking for.
Tube Techs lead supervisor said: “It was a pleasure working on such a classic piece of architecture and our expertise was greatly appreciated by the owner of the building. A laser system this fast, made the cleaning process look really easy, it was easy for us to handle and required no maintenance”.
