This case study outlines GLRE’s successful delivery of a large-scale high-level glass refurbishment project for Severn Trent Water. The project highlights our expertise in safe and efficient work at height.
Severn Trent Water is a major UK water utility responsible for supplying water to millions of customers.
GLRE was tasked with the complete refurbishment of a large internal glass feature wall within Severn Trent Water's premises. The project involved the careful removal of oversized opaque glass panels secured by a hook and pin system.
To ensure the structural integrity of the wall, GLRE's engineering team undertook extensive re-engineering works on the secondary bracketry. Following this, the refurbished glass panels were reinstated using a combination of specialist lifting equipment, including pneumatic suction lifters and electric winches.
The project also required the implementation of a robust safety system, incorporating spider platforms and an internally installed fall arrest system. Additionally, GLRE employed its innovative secondary lifting system to safeguard personnel below.
This complex project demanded a high level of expertise, planning, and execution, which GLRE successfully delivered.
