Access to removing smoke damage
May 1st 2005

Specialist contractors called upon the services of 11 boom and scissor lifts from AFI Aerial Platform to help them carry out one of the biggest smoke damage clean ups they have ever undertaken.

Forty men from fire and flood restoration company Belfor Relectronic (UK) worked around the clock in two shifts over five weeks to clean the balckened roof of a production process hall at the Corus steelworks in Flintshire,Wales.

Steve Robinson, Belfor damage surveyor, said the company could not use pressure washers to decontaminate the roof as this may have caused secondary damage to production equipment below.

Instead its employees used conventional techniques of chemicals, rags and plenty of elbow grease as they worked two at a time in each AFI machine, handcleaning the inside of the roofs.

“The building was over 40m long, 20m high and 32m wide so it was a very big job.The AFI machines not only gave us the reach and flexibility but they also provided a very cost-effective solution.We had initially obtained a quote for scaffolding but it was many times more than the cost of hiring the AFI units,” said Robinson.

AFI supplied one Skyjack 9250 scissor lift and 10 booms, with both straight and articulated versions and working heights from 20m to 26m.
