HAKITEC 750 HELPS HOUSE HANBURY HALL
 When
the National Trust had to replace the entire roof at Hanbury Hall,
choosing the right temporary roof solution to protect the
irreplaceable contents of the Grade I listed building was top of the
priority list - and the HAKITEC 750 roof system was the obvious
choice. The market leading product not only provided the best
weather protection, but its revolutionary design also enabled the
unique challenges provided by heritage projects such as Hanbury Hall
to be overcome quickly and efficiently. When water leakages began to
pose a serious threat to the contents of Hanbury Hall and the famous
painted staircase by Sir James Thornhill (who also painted the dome
at St Paul’s Cathedral), the project team had no choice but to
replace the entire roof - and that meant removing and replacing
19,750 tiles and 33 tonnes of lead. It was a project that would take
months and which would inevitably involve working through the worst
of winter weather as well as requiring minimal disruption to visitor
traffic to the popular William and Mary style house. The market
leading HAKITEC 750 Roof System was the obvious choice, not least
because it is arguably the most weatherproof system available:
HAKITEC’S offset beam and track joints ensure a robust and
watertight seal, holding the lightweight but ultra-durable PVC
coated polyester fabric firmly in place. The HAKITEC 750 had the
additional advantage that its sturdy yet remarkably open
superstructure would even enable viewing platforms to be erected so
the public could see the work in progress, thereby helping the
National Trust to turn a possible visitor deterrent into a positive
sales advantage.
While weatherproofing may have been the overriding requirement, the
HAKITEC 750 Roof System provided numerous other benefits during the
erection process. As James Attridge of scaffold contractors JFE
Attridge explains: “It was not only the HAKITEC product but also
HAKI’s commitment to customer support which meant that the solutions
to the unique problems posed by the Hanbury Hall project were both
effective and trouble-free. We first began using HAKI products over
fifteen years ago and we were initially attracted by the reputation
of the HAKI system as being the best on the market. However, our
experience shows that the quality of the product is more than
matched by HAKI’s commitment to customer service and providing
technical support.” “The HAKI Centre of Excellence in Tamworth
provides an unsurpassed facility for staff training and it’s one
that we utilise to the full. We send each of our scaffolders there
to become totally familiar with the product. We also send them there
for refresher courses to keep them updated with the latest product
developments and with new techniques. As a result we have a team who
are ideally positioned to take full advantage of all of the product
benefits offered by the HAKITEC 750 Roof System. In terms of Hanbury
Hall, the combination of product and product knowledge helped us to
erect the roof in less than ten working days. It was a remarkable
achievement when you consider that the roof had to be built in situ,
since the historic gardens at Hanbury meant that no cranes could be
taken on site to undertake the normal procedure of pre-assembling
the roof and then lifting it into position. JFE Attridge has
developed a close working relationship with HAKI and with projects
such as Hanbury Hall, they undertake joint site visits and work
together to develop the most effective and pragmatic solution for
each project. In the case of Hanbury Hall, the flat roof was topped
by a centrally positioned cupola, requiring the infrastructure of
the temporary roof to pass either side of this key feature. Again,
the HAKITEC 750 provided the ideal solution. Not only does the
roof’s “3 metre centres” reduces the amount of materials required
and ultimately a reduction in labour time required to erect.
The fact that Hanbury is a Grade I listed building also meant that
the scaffold could not be “tied-in” to the property, so the
temporary roof was designed as a freestanding erection, weighted at
the bottom - providing an impressive demonstration of the strength,
light weight and rigidity of the HAKITEC 750. The final challenge
was fixing the sheeting into place. The normal process of providing
a roll on roof was again not an option - but the unique
counter-tensioned seals on the HAKITEC 750 enabled the fabric to be
butted up and in-fitted, producing a truly weathertight seal. The
primary objective of the temporary roof at Hanbury Hall has been
achieved, enabling work to continue uninterrupted through the worst
of the British weather conditions. However, it is not just the main
contractors who have benefited from the lean efficiency of the
HAKITEC 750 system. Unencumbered by the confusion of beams, which
are a feature of many temporary roofs, the National Trust worked
with main contractors Sandy & Co Ltd to install a viewing platform
beneath the HAKITEC 750 and above the renovation work. Reached by a
60 step HAKI Stair Tower, the viewing platform provides an
uninterrupted view of the renovation work and is proving a huge
success with visitors to Hanbury Hall - to the point where the
renovation is actually featured on the home page of Hanbury’s
website and is turning what may erstwhile have been regarded as a
deterrent to visitors, into a real visitor attraction.
