Enduroshield Glass Scratch Removal from PCT Global

ENDUROSHIELD GLASS SCRATCH REMOVAL PROJECT: BHP BILLITON TOWER

The new BHP Billiton Office Tower is 234 metres high, and is the largest commercial building in Perth, Western Australia with a total of 86,000 square metres of premium quality A-Grade commercial space across 45 levels.

Construction started in August 2008 with Brookfield Multiplex completing construction three months ahead of schedule. The building, owned and managed by Brookfield, is targeting a 5 Star Green Star Design rating and a 5 NABERS base building energy rating. BHP Billiton is the anchor tenant occupying 34 floors, while Price Waterhouse Coopers and Barrick Gold will occupy the remaining space in the building.

During the construction process, many of the glass panels were damaged by extensive grinder sparks from the fabrication of stainless steel finished pylons. This looked unsightly and the glass was to be either restored or replaced. In addition to the grinder sparks, there were a number of panels that had been scratched during installation.

ENDUROSHIELD GLASS RESTORATION

EnduroShield WA was chosen following a successful demonstration of the EnduroShield Restoration system process and due to their high level of technical knowledge and experience in the restoration of glass.

The glass restoration was completed over a number of months and frequently after office hours to fit in with building maintenance schedules. During the restoration project, a total of 124 scratches were removed from 23 large glass panels. There was also over 180 hours worth of glass restoration removing grinder marks from many panels.
