acol Ltd is delighted to announce that we have become one the first contractors in Ireland to be certified Approved Operators for the use of Tensid cleaning systems and methodology for stone & brick cleaning, graffiti removal systems and Torik Super Heated Steam Cleaning washes.
Acol has been employing Tensid systems and methodologies in Ireland for over 20 years, most recently on the restoration of the façade of the Shelbourne Hotel
The name Tensid is synonymous with high quality, effective, environmentally responsible surface cleaning systems. Tensid systems have been used in the specialist cleaning of such international landmark buildings as St Paul’s Cathedral, London and Trinity Church, New York.
A long relationship with Tensid
Acol MD Dermot Collier says: ”We have a long relationship with Tensid and used their systems on restoration of the façade of the Shelbourne Hotel. This certification means we now meet all BCAR and CIRI requirements and can provide even greater assurance to our clients that we deliver surface cleaning solutions for any building or structural type.”
Brian Klelund, MD of Tensid UK, travelled to Ireland to train and present certificates to acol and P Mac staff. He says: “I am delighted to have two contractors of the stature of acol in place in Ireland to provide specialist cleaning services with our systems and methodology. Tensid systems are designed to deliver sympathetic cleaning solutions for all structural cleaning challenges. The portfolio of work completed by these firms in recent years means that they are the ideal choices to be certified for the use of Tensid systems in Ireland.”
Stone & Brick Cleaning Seminar
While Brian Klelund was in Ireland acol, in conjunction with industry colleagues P Mac, organised a series of seminars The Art of Stone & Brick Cleaning, Restoration & Protection on 16 February. Together with Brian Klelund, we shared our vast surface cleaning expertise with Irish construction professionals. And we were delighted when over 130 industry professionals from across the country attended the seminars.
Those in attendance included architects from private practices, the OPW and Irish Rail and as well as other industry professionals and conservation practitioners. The take up was so good we had to run three seminars on the day to cater for the demand, and we are planning to organise more events in the future.
For those who were unable to attend, you will find a video of Dermot's presentation on our youtube and Linkedin pages, where we would welcome your comments and questions on the subject. You can also email info@acol.ie if you have any specific queries.
