Results
Successful installation of the new curtain wall and remediation of internal air leaks within the six-week shutdown.
Strict hygiene requirements maintained throughout construction.
Rope access reduced logistical footprint, provided faster execution, and minimised spatial impact inside the facility.
Collaborative planning and execution ensured safe, efficient delivery with minimal disruption to plant operations.
Project
Solution
Collaborated with window installation specialists to design and build airtight, double-glazed replacements.
Delivered full project management support under NZ3916 contract, including crane lifts, permit handling, work package planning, and quality assurance.
Coordinated with other contractors (painters, scaffolders) to maximise productivity and minimise disruption.
Deployed rope access technicians to undertake internal sealing, concrete repairs, and painting, reducing the need for scaffolding.
Used aid climbing and existing structures to access difficult areas, ensuring minimal impact on workflow and cleanliness.
Project
Challenges
Critical hygiene requirements for a live food processing facility.
Replacement of a 200m², 5-tonne window at 30m elevation with limited shutdown period.
Requirement to maintain airtight conditions during construction.
Tight six-week program with multiple contractors on site.
Client’s reluctance to use internal scaffolding, requiring alternative access methods.
Project
Overview
A 30+ year-old food processing facility required an extensive upgrade to maintain the airtight seal essential for hygiene standards. The works included the removal and replacement of a 200m², 5-tonne window located 30m above ground with a double-glazed curtain wall, while simultaneously repairing and sealing internal cracks to eliminate air leaks.
Geovert collaborated with the client and specialist window installers to deliver the project within a six-week shutdown, ensuring hygienic controls were upheld throughout construction.
