For this case study we must thank Perry Hearne of PKM Cleaning Limited, of Shepperton. He gave us the opportunity of following him through the various ways he uses Aquafactors aluminium poles on a fine, historic conservatory in West London.
Aquafactors water fed poles are being used on the Tate Gallery. It presents some fairly difficult cleaning aspects due to its seafront location. This is not the Tate Gallery in London, of course, this is the Tate Gallery in St Ives, Cornwall, one of four Tate sites in the UK.
Concerns about ladders and the health and safety implications was one of the main reasons for Chepstow Race Course management deciding to clean the external aspects of all the main buildings and visitor enclosures using a water fed pole system. The contractor, Constant Services, uses the Aquafactors Pole System in a variety of ways showing that the aluminium, dual hose, system can offer specific and unique advantages.
Aquafactors has been evaluating their water fed poles at various sites including Essex University.
The diversity of cleaning projects now associated with high level water fed poles means we never know what we may be asked to do next. Delta Cleaning, in Coventry, recently requested help in proving the systems worth in cleaning an unusual aspect of Coventry Cathedral. This turned out to be a challenging exercise.
Short of ascending in a hot air balloon or shimmying to the top of Big Ben (strictly for Richard Branson/Fathers 4 Justice campaigners only) probably the best way to gaze out over the capital of England is from one of the 32 capsules of the world’s largest observation wheel.
