How Cleantech Civils Added Value
As with any of our clients, our number one priority is to complete the necessary construction tasks safely and without interrupting operations. Construction works were to be managed at night to ensure all normal airport operations could be sustained, uninterrupted. Careful planning and organisation practices were implemented to achieve maximum progress during the short window of opportunity.
Thanks to Cleantech Civil’s years of experience and intricate technical knowledge, we could pinpoint and implement the best possible processes to ensure all required concrete work specifications were met with flawless precision.
Concrete apron specification in airports require mix designs with very low slumps. In order to ensure quality workmanship was achievable, we designed and attached six high frequency pokers to an excavator attachment. This reduced the manual task of lifting heavy equipment while allowing the teams to concentrate on achieving the highest quality and the best finish to the concrete.
Our in-house fabrication teams manufactured steel formwork to meet the specifications of the apron. These were designed to incorporate our razor back screed system and provide millimetre-perfect levels to the apron.
We introduced a method to spray tar emulsion over stored and newly spread topsoil – quickly and efficiently – to ensure the attraction of birds was minimised at the surrounding airport.
