London Paddington Case Study

"Working alongside System Hygienics has been a pleasure from start to finish."

Project Background:

London Paddington is a Central London railway terminus and London Underground station complex. The site has been the London terminus of services provided by the Great Western Railway and its successors since 1838. More recently, the station has undergone the most significant transformation since the completion of the original building in 1853.

We were working behalf Skanskaone of the country’s leading building contractors, they were instructed by Crossrail to undertake a full ventilation clean on-site and to provide a pre-handover cleanliness certificate. As the team at System Hygienics have worked on this project previously, they reached out for our help again.

Our Solution:

For this project, we used our JetVent service which also includes the use of rotary brushes and hand methods across the site to achieve the best standard of cleanliness. This method always works well on newly installed ductwork as the debris within the ductwork on this project is dust that has been created throughout the construction works , therefore the dust is easily removed by compressed air, and the rotary brushes are perfect for areas where the compressed air cannot be used due to space or access limitationse.g.Trackside.

Our Jetvent Technology is very cost-effective as the cleaning can be done efficiently and without disruption, meeting the specific deadline. Luckily for the team, they did not come across any challenges on-site, this was due to the help of the supervisor who made the process seamless with safety hazards and site welfare kept to a minimum.

There are more works to be undertaken trackside, these will require a very high standard of training and competency to enable these works to be carried out.

This project had an initial schedule of 30 days for completion, we carried out our works earlier than this and the client was able to provide Crossrail with a pre-handover certificate.

Client Testimonial:

“Skanska on behalf of Crossrail instructed System Hygienics to carry out full ventilation clean on The Paddington Crossrail Project. We selected System Hygienics as they have a great deal of experience working on Crossrail sites over the last 5 years and they have become our trusted advisor with regards to ventilation cleaning.

Working alongside System Hygienics has been a pleasure from start to finish, the operatives and on-site project manager carried out these works with a great deal of professionalism to get the project completed within the schedule that was provided by the client and on budget. We look forward to working with them again in the future”
