Hoardfast welfare and office spaces for five floor office fit out project
Sector: Fit Out & Refurbishment
Company: Signature London
Location: Shropshire House, London
Overview: Create welfare spaces and office spaces
Solution: Hoardfast uPVC, Hoardfast Soundscreen
Recognising the need for efficient site welfare accommodation, and effective dust and noise control measures during a specialist five floor office fit out project, Signature London asked preferred supplier, Westgate Global, to provide a solution using Hoardfast, modular temporary internal hoarding.
In Signature London’s latest project, ensuring the safety and comfort of workers, volume of the work and mitigating dust and noise pollution for floors within the building containing live office environments, were paramount to the success of the restorative project.
Using Hoardfast uPVC panels fixed floor-to-ceiling, Westgate Global created dust-free temporary welfare spaces, including offices, restrooms, break rooms, and storage facilities. These internal provisions ensured workers had quick and easy access to essential amenities, reducing disruption to completed and tenanted floors and saving time on workers travelling to and from external portable cabins.
Noise reducing Hoardfast Soundscreen panels were also fixed floor-to-ceiling to create an office space for tenants to hold confidential meetings, while construction and restoration works were conducted on their floor. Once completed, Signature London continued to use the office as their main meeting room to hold business sensitive conversations.
Having previously used Westgate Global due to the reliable quality of service and end-to-end project management, Signature London were assured they would deliver on the successful implementation of an internal site accommodation solution for their project and minimised dust and noise disruption for tenants.
Not only does Hoardfast provide effective dust protection and noise reduction, panels are also lightweight and quick-to-install, saving valuable set-up time on site and further reducing disruption within the building. The panels can be cut to fit around protrusions (existing services, lighting, shape of the building) and can incorporate vision panels to ensure natural light enters enclosed areas.
On completion, Signature London can reuse and relocate the panels for use on their next project, or if panels are near end of life, return them to Westgate Global for recycling.
By using Westgate Global’s Hoardfast uPVC and Hoardfast Soundscreen panels, Signature London were able to:
- Create comfortable welfare spaces for workers, promoting productivity and well-being.
- Minimise noise and dust pollution, creating a safer, quieter work environment.
- Establish secure and well-defined internal site boundaries, enhancing safety and security.
- Maintain a premium look and feel with clean and seamless fitting Hoardfast panels.
- Adopt a sustainable system for improved eco-friendly targets.
