Health and safety in the event of landslides and leaks
This project addressed the restoration of the façades and roofs of a unique building, known as the Torre Lluch Museum, located at Plaça Dolors Clua, 13-14, in Gavà. Various problems were identified, such as partial detachment of the exterior cladding, deterioration of the carpentry and protective portholes due to their exposure to the elements, and leaks through the roof and rooftops due to poor waterproofing, among others.
SOCOTEC was contracted to carry out the Health and Safety Coordination during the execution of the works. The main responsibilities included the coordination of activities with the museum itself, the control of access of staff and material, the delimitation and signage of work spaces, as well as the maintenance of pedestrian crossings clean and clear of obstacles.
Special attention was paid to the risk of falls from height, ensuring the correct use of tubular scaffolding throughout the façade restoration phase, as well as the use of harnesses anchored to lifelines in roof repair work. This meticulous approach to safety ensured a safe working environment for all involved in the restoration of the Torre Lluch Museum, preserving its historical and architectural integrity with the highest level of professionalism.
