Project Snapshot:

Location: Spinningfields, Manchester
Building type: Commercial offices
Service delivered: High-level structural glass replacements 
Access method: Rope access and crane
Project type: 10-week out-of-hours working to minimise disruptions

The Brief:

ISG required a specialist contractor to replace high-level structural glazed units at NatWest’s Spinningfields offices. The works needed to be completed within a 10-week window, with all activity carried out overnight to protect the building’s occupiers and avoid disruption to the wider Spinningfields business district.

The Challenge: 

Working in one of Manchester’s busiest and most high-profile commercial locations brought a specific set of constraints. Stringent noise controls applied throughout, crane and rope access operations had to be carefully coordinated in a live environment, and the prominence of the site meant that safety, programme adherence and the visual quality of the finished work were all under close scrutiny from the outset.

Our Solution:

Dynamic Access deployed a specialist team using a combination of rope access and crane methodology to carry out the high-level glass replacements. By using rope access in place of conventional scaffolding, the team significantly reduced cost and programme time while maintaining the access flexibility required to work safely on the complex glazed units. All operations were conducted overnight in line with the noise restrictions, allowing NatWest’s day-to-day operations and the surrounding businesses to continue without interference

The Outcome:

All high-level structural glazed units were successfully replaced within the 10-week programme, restoring the building’s appearance and performance. The project was completed without complaint from neighbouring occupiers or disruption to the client’s operations. The delivery was praised by the senior project manager on site, who noted the team’s planning, health and safety management and quality of execution as exemplary.
