Challenges
Working during the pandemic provided its own challenges. The client provided an area within their communal facilities that was securely sectioned off to protect staff and residents. Ventro staff made sure to wear PPE and increased sanitary provisions around the sites.
Golden Thread
Throughout the project “Hilti” was used for the purpose of reporting. On this the client could view progress images from the site. Once the works were completed these images were complied with any certificates and product data sheets to complete the final report. Using the Hilti system helped create a golden thread for the client to refer to when needed and kept everything logged electronically.
Procurement
The project was awarded through procurement process of a framework. The direct award allowed Sovereign the ability to pick who they wished to partner with for the project whilst the framework provided added confidence of Ventro’s abilities as due diligence has previously been conducted.
Added Value
The local fire service had audited the John Eddie Court residence and completed a report
on compartmentation. This meant we faced added scrutiny following our installation works.
However, we passed their assessment with satisfactory justification of all firestopping measures
and compartmentation achieved.
