Recarpet a library without closing it
Lift, prep and relay in zones, after hours. Most stacks can stay. We jack them and replace the floor underneath.
Most public and university libraries cannot close for a fortnight. The job is a zone plan with the library manager, hoarding, and after-hours work on the noisy jobs.
Most stacks can stay. We jack them, lift, and replace the floor under them. Collections stay on the shelves. Compactus and some wall-fixed ranges are the exceptions.
Prep is itemised. Older slabs have adhesive, moisture and levels that have never been true. Method: replacing library carpet without closing and after-hours install.
Sometimes the honest job is a tile swap in the crushed lanes plus a clean, not a full recarpet. We will say so.
