Project Highlights
Lakeridge Hospital in Oshawa has become one of our largest clients, where we completed many very challenging jobs that were seriously very complex.
This project was one of those as well. Similar to the “Stairway Netting Project”, we had to custom fabricate everything to be able to install exclusion netting on this new supply unit on the roof. This equipment was so critical that it had to receive the netting immediately after it was installed, any possibility of a pigeon infestation was ruled out and was not allowed.
Projects like this are very detail oriented and usually the preparation takes longer or the same amount of time as the installation itself.
Each piece of component is custom fitted to existing site conditions and the structure.
We created a complete enclosure, including two fully functional doors and a netting skirt around the bottom to prevent entry underneath the unit.
All components were made of galvanized steel to match the existing structure.
2” netting was installed on the support custom fabricated support structure and framework to completely deny access to pigeons at all areas of the unit.
This method can be applied on almost any roof top unit to prevent pigeons from causing damage to sensitive and expensive machinery.
