Condition survey of large vaulted ceiling (Rab & Linda)
Mitchell Library, Glasgow
2007
Glasgow City Council
100 years old, 100' long x 30' wide, 50' high. A condition survey was required on all 81 panels of leaded glass accessed in the attic above the main reading room. | ![Condition Survey, Mitchell Library. Condition Survey, Mitchell Library.](../images/img_1/mitch001.jpg) |
The attic was accessed through a tiny door behind a cleaner's sink. Conditions inside were like working inside a filthy, precarious, upturned sauna, made of glass. | ![Condition Survey, Mitchell Library. Condition Survey, Mitchell Library.](../images/img_1/mitch002.jpg) |
Health & safety, health & safety, health & safety. The Fire Brigade were just a phone call away - just incase. | ![Mitchell Library, Glasgow Mitchell Library, Glasgow](../images/img_1/mitch003.jpg) |
