September 2008, Biology Department gets a non-bio clean

Essex based contractor Wipeout, has completed a successful clean which, in the past, could have posed some difficult problems. Wipeout were asked to clean 4000 m²of new porcelain internal flooring for the new Biology Department at Cranfield University in Bedford.

With its many doorways, lack of drainage and the added problem of a lift shaft - it was an area riddled with potential hazards for a hot water clean. Wipeout hired the Aquila water recycling machine, and using the floor cleaning tool attachment, the water was vacuumed, collected, filtered and re-used without excessive water and no water splashing. It took just 10 hours to completely clean 4000 m².

This equipment is an ideal cleaning solution for many internal or previously inaccessible areas such as car parks, reception areas, factory floors and so on.

September 2008, Graffiti Busters remove giant wall art at Tate Modern

The last few days of August saw the Graffiti Busters team removing the extraordinary giant graffiti exhibition. Some of the walls had previously been coated with our sacrificial anti graffiti coating, Graffi Coat 1, which allows the graffiti to be removed by simply using hot water under moderate pressure - in this instance with the Aquila TD352 complete with dual operation.

Click below to see BBC footage of the operation which in itself proved to be quite a spectacle.

Where surfaces were unprotected, the graffiti is now being removed using Tavec - our water based and non hazardous paint stripper -in conjunction with the water recycling pressure washer which is collecting the waste using the trough system.

July 2008, June and July show record sales of Tavec paint stripper

Remember the dinosaurs in Crystal Palace Park? They were renovated by Holden Conservation back in 2002 and this was one of the first special projects where Tavec was used. Since then Tavec has proven itself and become renowned as the water based, environmentally friendly paint stripper. Sales have rocketed in 2008.
