Raghwat Al Janoub Maintenance and Cleaning
Building facade cleaning in Dhahran
Dhahran is an unusual city made up largely of gated residential and campus compounds alongside malls, hotels and cultural facilities on desert ground away from the open coast. The mixed district of shops and homes requires special scheduling, and sea borne dust spreads across every building.
Why a facade needs regular cleaning
-

The surface is protected
The wrong product costs more than the dirt it removes.
-

Access decided on site
We do not pick the access method from an office.
-

Glass stays clear
Calcium scale on glass turns into permanent etching if it is left.
-

The building keeps running
We plan the access and the working hours around how the building is used through the day, and we protect the ground, the entrances and anyone passing below.
Why the job is different in Dhahran
The gated university and residential compounds need special coordination with management, and the mixed shops and towers collect varying dust loads. The whole method is set out in our full account of building facade cleaning.
-
Mixed district increases site coordination complexity
Dhahran hosts a major university, a cultural centre, malls, hotels and a residential neighbourhood, and each area has different needs and operating hours. Cleaning must be carefully scheduled to avoid disrupting the various activities in progress.
-
Sea dust mixes with desert dust in complex layers
Dhahran is near the Gulf yet on desert ground, and winds carry metallic dust from the coast and sand from the desert together. This mixture leaves metallic stains on glass that resist ordinary rinsing.
-
Gated compounds provide only partial wind protection
Gated compounds and the university offer partial protection from wind on low walls, but tall towers and exposed facilities receive the full dust load from both directions.
What's Included
Dhahran sits on desert ground but near the Gulf, and winds carry both metallic dust from the sea and sand from the desert together.
-
Roof survey and anchor points
The roof survey includes checking glass for metallic stains and cladding for accumulated dust from both sea and desert sources.
-
Access chosen: rope or powered
Powered lift access may be complex within gated compounds and campus, so advance coordination is essential.
-
A test patch before the whole elevation
Testing on a hidden patch confirms that products remove metallic stains without damaging the surface.
-
Glass and curtain walling
Glass here needs special treatment to remove metallic stains from sea borne dust.
-
Cladding and stone, pH-neutral
Cladding is cleaned with products that dissolve both metallic stains and salt residue together.
-
Ground and passers-by protected
Ground level pavements and walkways around compounds are protected from water and cleaners and the disruption that cleaning may cause to ongoing activities.
