Mackintosh Corporation has just completed the cleaning of the windows of Frabelle Business Center in Makati City. Mackintosh deployed bosun’s chairs using rope access, as well as a non-invasive cleanser to remove the build-up of acid rain and clean the windows.
Deployment for window cleaning at Frabelle Business Center
Sidewalk safety during window cleaning
Prior to starting the project, it secured DOLE approval for its Construction Safety and Health Program (CSHP). Safety is of cardinal importance when working at height, and Mackintosh ensured the safety of its workers as well as the general public by requiring strict compliance with all safety measures and equipping its personnel with the best safety devices and equipment. Over and above the high-grade descending rope, workers were also equipped with an independently anchored lifeline. Over and above safety signages, a worker was also deployed on the sidewalk to safely guide pedestrians.
Shortly before the start of this project, Mackintosh completed the window and cladding cleaning of EMAR Suites along Shaw Boulevard. At the same time, it also carried out repairs to defective glass sealant and cladding. This is the second time that the EMAR Suites windows were cleaned; Mackintosh cleaned them in December 2014.
Mackintosh Corporation is a licensed waterproofing contractor and has branched out into window cleaning, as it has a trained workforce experienced in high-rise waterproofing with full rope access and rappelling skills.
