Overview

Westgate Global designed, manufactured and installed a Flexiscreen temporary floor-to-ceiling building and dust screen for a multinational fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) giant to separate groundwork from a live ice cream line. This enabled production to continue whilst ensuring the safety and integrity of the products as the works took place.

Project detail

With Flexiscreen, there is minimal downtime and maximum protection. This innovative screen was designed to be quick and clean to install, providing a 99% dust-tight seal once in place.

By effectively sealing off the groundworks area, Flexiscreen significantly minimised the disruption to production schedules and reduced the risk of contamination. The dust-tight seal prevents the entry of particulates, debris or contaminants into the production area. This enhances overall hygiene and safety standards and aids meeting stringent quality control requirements.

One of the key advantages of Flexiscreen is its superior functionality compared to traditional scaffold sheeting. Not only did it provide a dust-tight seal, but it also presented a smarter-looking, robust and hygienic alternative. This made it an ideal choice for the client, who prioritises maintaining high standards of cleanliness and aesthetics in its production environment.

A total of 67 linear metres of Flexiscreen were installed. The heights of the screens ranged from 8.5 to 14m, effectively creating a protective barrier around the live ice cream production line. This installation ensured that the groundwork could proceed without compromising the safety and quality of the ice cream products.

This project serves as a testament to the effectiveness and versatility of Flexiscreen as a solution for similar challenges faced by other companies in the consumer goods industry. Its ability to provide a dust-tight seal, reduce disruption and maintain production schedules makes it an ideal choice for organisations striving to maintain high standards of hygiene in sensitive environments during scheduled works.
