Torquay Glass Replacement – Emergency Shopfront Repair at Woolworths

Following recent storms, a sunshade clip at Woolworths Torquay became dislodged, causing significant damage to the store’s glass shopfront. The impact resulted in a large cracked panel weighing approximately 175 kilograms, requiring urgent attention to secure the premises and maintain public safety.

Swift Response and Assessment

Upon receiving the call, our Barwon Glass team promptly attended the site to assess the damage. Due to the glass size, weight, and the proximity of the trolley bay, a detailed safety plan was developed to allow for the safe removal and replacement of the damaged panel.

Preparation and Execution

To access the damaged area, our technicians carefully unbolted and relocated the trolley bay, creating a secure workspace. Using specialised lifting equipment and following strict safety protocols, the team safely removed the shattered panel and installed a new laminated safety glass replacement, restoring the shopfront’s appearance and compliance with AS1288 Safety Standards.
