As part of a major re-development of ASDA, Eastlands Contego were appointed to conduct the bird netting on the project. The project was completed in two phases, phase 1 – removal of all old netting (two front entrance canopies & side canopy – as pictured above). The old netting was removed to allow for decoration works to be conducted. Phase 2 was the installation of new wire system in which new white 19mm netting was re-installed to the areas over 1500SQM.

All works were completed on time and ready for the store hand over in July 2016.

Full RAMS and work plans were provided to the client prior to work.

Contego were appointed to conduct pest proofing works at ASDA Blackburn.

The scope of works included, installation of metal sheeting to fence line (approx. 110m) The sheets are installed as a preventative measure to stop rodent ingress. Each sheet was dug down 300mm into the ground then back filled.

The removal of old batter through doors was also required with new doors installed. The framework around the door was then pest proofed using checker plate. The areas above the doors were proofing using 19mm black bird netting to stop access into the warehouse area by pest birds.

All work was completed on schedule.  

As part of a store refresh scheme Contego were appointed to conduct the bird netting at ASDA Carlisle in August 2016.

Our National project manager, Jonathan Taylor oversaw the project from start to finish. Jonathan consulted with the main contractor on the best and most cost-effective solution to ensure that the roof space was protected from pest birds. It was quickly identified that the previous netting which had been installed by another contractor had become damaged due to the lack of supporting posts and wires across the netted area. Thus, additional posts and wires were required to bring the netting up to standard.

Project Outline

Removal of old damaged netting from main roof, high roof and lower roof levels

Installation of additional 30nr two meter supporting posts across the roof.

Installation of new 2mm stainless steel wire frame/supporting fixings

New netting to the main roof area to protect plant equipment

New netting to high level roof area which had become damaged due to strong winds/lack of supporting wires

Prior to work commencing onsite full RAMS and final survey was conducted to ensure that all nesting birds had fledged from the area.

All work was completed on schedule and on budget.

Contego recently installed 19mm bird netting to new warehouse canopy to prevent pest birds from roosting/nesting. The two man contego team installed the 600SQM worth of 19mm netting over three days.

The installation of stainless steel fixings every 300mm to support the 2mm stainless steel wire frame was used to support the 19mm netting. All work was conducted from MEWP's

Contego recently installed approx. 200meters of Avi-shock on a hospital in the North East of England as part of some recent construction works.

The installation took place over two days in which technicians used both onsite latch ways system and MEWP's to gain access to the working areas.

The Avi-shock system is extremely low profile and provides an alternative option to more traditional proofing system such as bird spikes and post/wire systems.

Contego recently were asked by a large national supermarket chain to help protect one of their service yards from pest birds.

The project involved alterations to the existing service yard gates. A new 100mm x 100m goal post, along with an internal frames ware installed. This provided the structure for the bird netting to be attached to. Bespoke brackets were also installed around the perimeter of the service year to help support the stainless steel wire frame work.

Contego were asked to help with ongoing pigeon issues on a Heron and Post Office store in the North East. 

The pigeons were using the roof as a day / night time roosting spot. Due to the number of pigeons using the area pigeon guano was a concern due to the health and safety risks associated with guano.

Contego installed bespoke brackets to clear the facias and to provide enough clearance from the roof. 50mm black pigeon netting was installed to eliminate the area as a roosting spot for the pigeons.

A two man Contego team completed the work from a MEWP's, ensuring that the working area was completely in accessible to members of the public whilst conducting the work.

The final result due to the installation of the roof net is that the area is now free and clear of pigeons.
