Pigeon Waste Removal Commercial Building Case Study
NLR was called interstate to remediate a building heavily affected by a large pigeon nesting colony that had taken residence on top of a building in bad disrepair. The result of the disrepair coupled with the pigeon presence left a high concentration of pigeon and vermin droppings throughout the building.
#Project highlights
1x
Ozone generator
300m2
building, unoccupied for eight years
7x
HEPA air filters
4x
large professional grade HEPA vacuum units
#Damage Caused
Due to the disrepair of the building, pigeons were able to nest undisturbed inside the building, causing a high level of pigeon waste. Additionally, the disrepair also caused high mould contamination in the air. As a result, the following elements of the builder were affected:
Walls
Doors
Loft area
Plaster/suspended ceilings
Insulation
Carpet flooring
Timber framing and beams
Office dividing walls
Vinyl flooring
Metal Ducting
Windows
#Result
Heavily affected materials were disposed of including carpets, office dividing walls and ceiling tiles. HEPA air filtration cleaned the air, whilst droppings were extracted with a truck mount and cleaned off all horizontal and vertical surfaces. Patchwork was undertaken to cover up holes from the building's disrepair, and the property was restored to a stage where it could enter reconstruction. The client was satisfied with the remediation of the site and happy to be able to enter the next stage of the reconstruction of the building.
