Service: Emergency Commercial Glass Replacement
🚨 The Incident
On Sunday night during wet weather conditions, a vehicle lost control while coming around the corner on Latrobe Terrace and smashed directly into this large commercial shopfront window.
The impact completely shattered the lower section of the panel and compromised the integrity of the full-height glass unit. With a panel measuring approximately 3 metres wide by 2.1 metres high and weighing around 220kg, this was not a standard replacement job.
Our team attended promptly to assess the damage and make the site safe while awaiting approval to proceed with full replacement.
⚡ Fast Turnaround
As soon as we received the go-ahead on Tuesday, we organised the new oversized panel and returned to site the same day to complete the installation.
Minimising downtime is critical for commercial businesses, especially in high-traffic areas like Latrobe Terrace. Our priority was to secure the premises and restore the shopfront as quickly and safely as possible.
🏗 Specialist Crane Installation
The original panel was heavily shattered at the base after vehicle impact. Due to the size and weight of the glass, manual handling was not an option.
Using our specialist mini crane and vacuum lifting system, the new 220kg panel was precisely lifted and installed safely into position, restoring the shopfront to full integrity.
