Oxford House is a residential building currently undergoing a lift modernisation project. PRNS Building Services Ltd were appointed to undertake the primary building works for lift renovations, including using heavy duty industrial cutters to ‘chop’ through the reinforced concrete to create sixteen lift entrances serving all floors.

ChallengeThe lift shaft was located in the middle of the building which remained live throughout the duration of works and had no direct outside access. As the renovations involved cutting activities that produced large amounts of airborne dust, a solution was required to protect both workers on site and tenants.
SolutionPRNS installed secure ventilation enclosures to contain the work area and RVT supplied the high airflow Dustex®DustMaster® filtration unit complete with capture hood and intake duct.
The strict dust control measures undertaken on this project allowed the team to quickly implement a full clean down and re-painting of the lift shaft, ready for the next stage of the project.
