Sparrow Netting, K2 Olympic Leisure Center, Crawley
Below are photos of 65 Sparrow nets installed to the canopy of the K2 leisure center to prevent Pigeons, Starlings and sparrows from gaining access to the stadium girders and purling's. The nets were attached to the lowest girder flange with over 2000 girder clips, 800 Hilti brackets, 400 s/d screws and 400 screw eyes. Netting sizes varied from 70m x 2m to 5m x 5m. The work was completed over a three week period through December before the grand opening in January.
As with the majority of netting works access was via a self propelled boom and a tower scaffold. Access was made slightly difficult due to the high seating platform, so hence a larger unit with maximum outreach was required to gain access to the corners etc - the work was carried out with a GSR18 hired from Facelift. Both operators (trained with IPAF) carried out daily checks to the machine and was equipped with the necessary safety equipment.
The leisure center (soon to host training facilities for the 2012 olympics) was constructed on a well known problem area for pigeons & starlings etc. To prevent future problems the netting was blended in with the original plans and was constructed at the earliest stage - however on semi-completion pigeons had already settled and a cull was required (free of charge) to prevent pigeons being trapped behind the main net.
