Assemblin Ventilation takes care of ventilation projects all the way from feasibility study and design, to installation and service. It was when the project manager Krister Petersson at Assemblin Ventilation in Östergötaland received a complex installation assignment at the University Hospital in Linköping that he first came into contact with C2 Vertical Safety.
Assemblin Ventilation has operations throughout Sweden and works with both the public sector and the private market, including major companies such as Skanska and NCC. The assignments are both turnkey contracts and contracts.
- Right now I am a project manager for a project at the University Hospital in Linköping. It was when we were about to start remodelling an existing building that we came into contact with C2 Vertical Safety.
The assignment at the University Hospital in Linköping includes new construction and remodelling and the assignment consists of sealing existing ventilation ducts in sheet metal. However, the ducts are difficult to get into, as they are vertical and 17 metres long. The only way to get in is to enter from above.
- "Before we started the work, we considered several different working methods, but we came to the conclusion that the only feasible method was to work with ropes. Once the method was established, we learnt about C2 Vertical Safety in Uppsala through our network of contacts," says Krister.
C2 Vertical Safety provided risk analysis and training
C2 Vertical Safety has been involved in many different parts of the project, including assisting with training and the certifications required by the project. They also developed a work environment plan that includes risk analysis, work preparation and rescue plan.
- C2 Vertical Safety normally has trainings in Uppsala and Höganäs, but we found some good spaces at the University Hospital in Linköping that we could use to do the training on site. It was incredibly smooth for our fitters, I really appreciate the service that C2 Vertical Safety gave us," says Krister.
Krister says that they were not able to do the work without training. C2 Vertical Safety highlighted the safety required and the importance of identifying potential risks and creating a rescue plan.
- We were helped to get the right tools and routines. We also practised lowering ourselves into the canal and practising the evacuation that is needed if someone gets hurt," says Krister.
In addition to planning, training, certification and start-up, C2 Vertical Safety has also supplied the equipment required for the project.
- There will probably be more of these types of work for us, and now we have the expertise and certifications required. The cooperation has worked great, C2 has really been helpful and delivered and set up right from the start, I have only good things to say about C2 Vertical Safety, Krister concludes.
We thank Krister and Assemblin Ventilation for a successful collaboration and wish them all the best in future projects!
