ROIG is carrying out a refurbishment project at an educational center in Vilafranca del Penedès, a town in the province of Barcelona.

The commission for the renovation of the Eugeni d’Ors Institute came from the Department of Infrastructures of the Generalitat de Catalunya.

This project includes the rehabilitation of the roof of the main building of the school, eliminating the existing fiber cement sheets and replacing the central skylight.

The work includes the installation of a new Deck type roof, installation of a life line and maintenance ladder. In addition, the replacement of deteriorated access doors in other buildings of the center and the installation of crack gauges for structural control.

Strict safety for asbestos handling

All this, executed with strict safety criteria due to the handling of asbestos-containing materials, guaranteeing the sustainability and durability of the new construction solutions.

As a preliminary work, given the health hazard posed by the release of fibers and dust from the cracks and cuts made in the fiber cement, which is the main material of the existing roof, it is necessary to remove the furniture from the classrooms. This facilitates subsequent building protection works and the installation of auxiliary equipment for the dismantling of the existing roof.

The works will be executed within 4 months.
