Restoration of War Memorial

Description

A fixed scaffold to a height of approximately 10m. will be required to access all faces of the memorial. It is preferred that the scaffold is fully protected with tarpaulin during works to protect against inclement weather, minimise distraction caused by works to nearby motorists, and to ensure no materials generated during cleaning fall beyond the perimeter of the scaffold. However, it is possible that such covering could increase wind loadings to the scaffold structure; this should be directed by scaffolder. A temporary concrete or steel crash barrier should be installed on the north side of the monument to prevent vehicles using the roundabout from entering the workspace. The wrought iron railings should be left in situ during works and the scaffolding constructed around the railings following their protection. Cleaning of the memorial should take place in two phases to allow for even removal of dirt from the stone paved platform and steps. Therefore: Phase one: Clean platform paving, steps and base of the memorial prior to erection of scaffold. Phase two: Erect scaffold and undertake works to remaining surfaces of memorial. Position first platform beneath stone base of 'Man breaking a Sword' statue. Position upper platform to allow full access to the statue of 'Winged Victory'. A 240v double electric socket is located on the railings to the north side of the memorial. The Client must confirm that the electrical supply is in safe and working order prior to commencement of works. Bowser and water to be supplied by client and topped up overnight ready for next day. Approximately 5 tonnes of water will be required for cleaning of the memorial.
