Project Overview
Industry: Insurance
Location: NSW
Duration: 4 Days
Types of Laser Used: Jango 1000w
Summary: PLC was engaged to remove heavy carbon and soot from a factory fire. The project focused on restoring the walls ensuring the building could safely be repurposed.
)
The Challenges
Vertical Access: An elevated work platform was needed to navigate around support beams and access the full surface, as scaffolding would have been too costly and time-consuming.
Environmental Factors: With the factory roof destroyed, the walls were fully exposed, requiring cleaning operations to be flexible and adaptable to unpredictable weather conditions.
Containment: The large 248 m² surface area would have demanded an expensive and time-heavy containment zone if traditional methods were used, leading to delays and additional costs.
The Solution
Laser Equipment Used: The Netalux 1000W Jango with its 50m fibre optic cable enabled seamless EWP mobility.
Efficient & Cost-Effective Access: Combining the laser with an EWP provided a faster, more affordable alternative to full scaffolding.
Reduced Time and Cost: The process avoided the need for extensive containment and waste disposal, cutting project duration and client costs.
Effective Environmental Management: Weather contingency plans ensured work could continue without disruption.

The Results
All soot and carbon were successfully removed from the fire-damaged concrete walls, restoring the structure for safe future use. The laser cleaning process eliminated the need for costly scaffolding or containment, saving the client significant time and money. The project was delivered without any safety incidents or weather-related delays, demonstrating the efficiency, safety and reliability of laser cleaning in demanding industrial environments.
