Glass on the
control tower was cleaned daily in an
attempt to maintain good visibility.
However, a better, low-maintenance
solution was required, and Ritec
subsequently renovated and protected the
exterior glass with the ClearShield
System.
The results
were dramatic. Says a member of
Heathrow's Building Services Department:
“Since conversion of the Visual Control
Room windows from ordinary glass,
regular maintenance using Ritec
aftercare products has ensured that,
from the original daily window cleaning
schedule, the windows now are only
cleaned once a week".
New
Bangkok Airport, Thailand
The Second
Bangkok International Airport features a
modern steel, aluminium and glass
architecture covering approximately
100,000m2.
The
protection of glass during construction
was a high priority for the construction
company and specified the application
ClearShield prior to installation.
ClearShield helped to reduce costs and
delays on the construction site by
protecting the glass from cement,
concrete and construction dust.
Farnborough Airport Control Tower, UK
Ritec
successfully completed the protection of
all glazed areas of the Farnborough
Airport Control Tower.
This
stunning building whose glazing includes
both sandblasted and clear glass is now
fully benefiting from the low-maintenance
properties of ClearShield Glass, but
most importantly from an increase in
visibility and safety which is critical
to the operations of the air traffic
controllers.
The
application was carried out onsite by
Ritec's team of specialist technicians. Some 520m2 of glass was treated.
