William International has implemented a comprehensive high-level cleaning and maintenance exercise fir Ceiling Soffit Panel at Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA) amid the Covid-19 pandemic lockdown.

The cleaning work includes cleaning of the ceiling at Terminal 1, in both the restricted and non-restricted areas. The total ceiling area of Terminal 1 is 172,000m², equivalent to almost 24 football fields.

WIHK spent much time on project planning to overcome the difficulties and complexity created by the unique arc-shaped ceiling soffit. To completely conduct cleaning at different required areas, WIHK has deployed up to 10 Aerial Work Platforms for the entire project, which the highest one was 39m tall.

To mitigate the risk for our specialists to work at 30m high, WIHK prioritized safety across the operations. WIHK formulated a Safety Team, with certificated Safety Supervisors and Safety Officer, to conduct inspection, daily briefing, and supervision in a regular manner.

The project was completed successfully in cooperation with Project Manager, Safety Team and Cleaning Supervisors.
