The Challenge
Following the tragedy at Grenfell Tower in London surveys were carried out across the country, the three Mountwise Towers were identified as having similar cladding materials on the external facade. A comprehensive programme of removal and replacement was started by Plymouth City Council, but as the removal process was completed with the imminent start of the new cladding installation approaching, concerns were raised by the project engineers about the condition of the existing wall ties. We were asked to carry out a wall tie condition survey, prepare a report and cost for any remedial works based on our findings with a fast turnaround.
