Glass Polish Help the Commonwealth Games
Sports fans are guaranteed a great view of the 2014 Commonwealth Games, through the innovative techniques of a UK wide Glass Repair Company
The Scotstoun Stadium in Glasgow, which will be one of the venues used to host the 2014 Commonwealth Games, has recently received an £18 million refurbishment. Unlike the recent Commonwealth Games in Delhi, Barr Construction and their subcontractors have completed the work in plenty of time, four years ahead of the next Commonwealth Games!! One of the subcontractors on the project was Glass Polish Ltd, who helped keep costs down with their innovative glass scratch removal services.
As the construction of the stadium was drawing to a conclusion, Barr Construction discovered extensive scratch damage to glass panels throughout the venue. Initially Barr Construction deployed the services of a local glass repair company to rectify the damage, but it soon became clear they were unable to remove all the scratches and their efforts had left bad distortion in the glass. Glass Polish Ltd were drafted in to make good the damage, and the company's technicians were able to reduce the distortion caused by the other contractor, before removing the remainder of the scratches.
Peter Hayward, Managing Director of Glass Polish Ltd, points out: "Through the duration of the project, our staff repaired 80 square metres of glass, with scraper damage, internally and externally, to the Club Deck overlooking the main stadium. This allowed our client to save over £85,000 as the replacement cost of the glass would have exceeded £112,000 and the repair cost was £27,000".
He continues: "Barr Construction were so pleased with the quality of our workmanship, and the savings they made, that they invited us to return to repair glass in the Reception area, Gym and Control Room, with a further saving just shy of £40,000".
Peter Hayward adds: "Glass Polish not only help our clients save considerable amounts of money, which is critical in the current economic climate; but our skilled technicians bring a high level of attention to detail to their work".
Glass Polish Ltd not only work closely with the construction industry, but also list a number of high street retailers amongst their clients, including HMV, Starbucks, McDonalds and Burger King.
