Industrial
Unit in Cheshire |
| Event: |
|
- Storm damage to the roof of the
property left up to 3 inches of water
pooled in approximately 3,000 sq ft of
the building.
- Urgency of response was a key
requirement. The property is used as a
production studio for a TV show and
filming was required to recommence on
site 2 weeks from the disaster.
|
| Response: |
|
- AnyTime UK provided immediate, same
day response.
- Operatives with numerous items of
drying equipment – comprising air movers
and desiccant dehumidifiers – arrived at
the property to discuss the optimum
works program.
- Wet extract of all standing water,
followed by sanitising with
anti-microbial solution, was quickly
undertaken to mitigate further water
damage.
- Careful handling of the delicate
electrical production equipment and the
many Bob the Builder models and props
ensured that no damage occurred.
- The Site Manager’s key concern was
for the film production to recommence 2
weeks from the incident. With the
building being a warehouse-style unit
and containing a large volume of air,
high capacity desiccant dehumidifiers
and air movers were used to turn over
the air.
- The drying design rapidly created a
dry environment in which moisture was
extracted efficiently and with minimum
stripping out enablement works.
- Production recommenced on schedule.
