Wall cleaning, approx 400 metres long
« on: May 16, 2018, 05:59:02 pm »
Hi guys.

We have been asked to clean this wall. It's about 400mtrs long in total.

As you can see it is on a main road, however the path is never very busy.

I'm trying to work out the best way to clean this.

My initial thought is to pressure clean and then treat with AlgoClear.

Potential issues:

On a highway
There's only 3 taps on the other side of the wall so getting hoses down is probably a no.
We could  fill one of our vans with water and draw from that. That would involve traffic management and having lights on the main road (money isn't an issue here). Also would have to keep filling the van up so going to take ages.

The other possibility is softwash, not sure how it stand with hypo on a public path like that? Does anyone have any info on that?

Does anyone have a pressure washing van to hire out?! Would make life a bit easier!

Matt.

Buy more high pressure hose, park vans on other side of wall near to taps, run hose over walls  so only hp hose lance and operator is there 👍

Hire 400 meters of hose

I’d also hire a stand pipe for filling

It’s all part of quoting this sort of work - park safe and work out what’s required

If this isn't sorted one of my set ups is 150 metres of 22mm fill hose, onboard water tank 1500 litres and then 3/400 metres of high pressure hose.

From a static point on the inside of the wall I could take care of the whole run.

Hi guys

Thanks so much for all your replies. I'm in discussions with them at the moment and have someone I'm partnered with to possibly do the work as I am due for surgery when this is supposed to start.

Great to know who is out here for this type of work, thanks again.

Tom
