CASE STUDIES

EcoShrink installed a fully enclosed marine shrink wrap containment around a vessel to support specialist paint and coating works. While weather protection was essential, the primary requirement was maintaining a more stable internal environment so temperatures could remain high enough for the coating system being applied. The result was a sealed enclosure designed around exposure, access and practical shipyard constraints. Project Summary at a Glance Category: Marine Wrap Us

EcoShrink delivered a containment-style marine encapsulation around a vessel on hardstanding in Portsmouth, creating a sealed external enclosure for weather protection during storage and maintenance activities. With the boat positioned on land and exposed to changing conditions, the brief focused on a tight, continuous outer skin to reduce weather ingress and support a cleaner, more controlled working environment.

EcoShrink has delivered multiple phases of scaffold wrapping at The Dorchester on Park Lane over the last 2–3 years, supporting refurbishment activity while maintaining a clean, guest-facing presentation. On a world-renowned luxury hotel, public interface is a primary constraint: the scaffold needs to be controlled, tidy and visually acceptable from arrival routes and key viewpoints, particularly around the main entrance frontage.

EcoShrink supported the construction of New Papworth Hospital in Cambridge by installing over 5,000m2 of screening and protective wrap across multiple phases between 2015 and 2018. The scope included atrium screening, roof level protection, internal screens and temporary walkways, helping create cleaner interfaces and reduce weather and debris disruption as the build progressed on a major healthcare project.

EcoShrink installed scaffold side sheeting at Hengistbury Head near Bournemouth to provide weather protection during a roof extension project. With the site exposed to coastal winds, winddriven rain and sudden weather changes, side sheeting was used to create a more controlled barrier around the scaffolded work zone, helping reduce exposure and support steadier progress through the roof works programme. Project Summary at a Glance Location: Hengistbury Head (near Bournemouth,

EcoShrink installed a high-level atrium screen at Petro in Moorgate, central London, to fully shield scaffolding positioned above the building’s main entrance. With the screen directly in a publicfacing sightline, presentation was critical. The finished screen created a clean, uniform visual barrier, reducing the impact of scaffold works on the entrance experience while the project progressed overhead.

EcoShrink installed internal dust screening at Norgren in Lichfield to control dust and debris during works in an operational environment. The objective was to protect sensitive machinery and equipment by creating a controlled screened area that reduced airborne dust migration and helped keep adjacent zones cleaner throughout the programme. Project Summary at a Glance Site: Norgren, Lichfield (internal operational environment) Scope: Internal dust screening / containment-styl

EcoShrink installed scaffold shrink wrap at A La Ronde in Exmouth, Devon, a prestigious National Trust property undergoing roof replacement. With the roof opened up during the works, the building would have been exposed to wind-driven rain and coastal weather. The wrap formed a sealed external envelope around the scaffold, helping protect sensitive heritage fabric and supporting more consistent working conditions throughout the programme. Project Summary at a Glance Site: A L

EcoShrink installed side sheeting at Avisford Park Hotel to provide weather protection while a new roof was being installed. Roof works can leave large areas temporarily exposed, and side sheeting helps reduce wind-driven rain and general weather disruption around the scaffolded work zone. The result was a more controlled external interface, supporting safer and more predictable roof installation progress. Project Summary at a Glance Site: Avisford Park Hotel Category: Scaffo

EcoShrink installed shrink wrap protection around multiple modular homes built for Wates, preparing the units for delivery to Cardiff. The wrap package created a clean, weather-resistant outer envelope designed to protect the units during storage, handling and transport, helping preserve the external finish and reduce exposure during the delivery programme.

EcoShrink installed shrink wrap protection around ballistic steel units destined for the MoD in Scotland, creating a clean, weather-resistant outer envelope for handling, lifting and transport. The wrap package was designed to protect the units during movement through the logistics chain while maintaining a tidy, delivery-ready appearance on arrival. Project Summary at a Glance Client/end use: MoD-related ballistic steel units Destination: Scotland Category: Modular Covers /

EcoShrink installed shrink wrap protection around prefabricated units bound for an MoD site in Devon, creating a clean, weather-resistant outer envelope ready for handling and transport. The wrap package was designed to help protect the units during movement through the logistics chain while maintaining a tidy, delivery-ready appearance on arrival. Project Summary at a Glance End use: Prefabricated units for an MoD site Destination: Devon Category: Modular Covers / specialist

EcoShrink installed shrink wrap protection around multiple modular homes in Lincolnshire, creating a clean, weather-resistant outer envelope while maintaining practical access through planned zip doorways. The wrap package was designed to protect the units from exposure during the programme without preventing day-to-day movement, inspection and ongoing works around the modular structures.

EcoShrink's biodegradable and fully recyclable BIOSHRINK FR300 is the containment skin for Balfour Beatty's restoration of ~150 support piers beneath the elevated Great West Road, West London, roughly 37,500m² of sealed, fire-compliant containment beside live 50mph traffic.

A street-facing Oxford shopfront with window and render works behind a BIOSHRINK scaffold screen, installed in a day, kept the pavement clear, protected the internal works.

A practical guide to choosing more sustainable temporary protection without weakening the standards contractors need on live construction, refurbishment and containment projects.

A contractor-friendly guide to BIOSHRINK: what it is, how it works on site, where it can be used and what teams should consider before specifying it.

EcoShrink explains the thinking behind BIOSHRINK, why sustainability in temporary protection needs practical site performance, and how contractors can specify responsibly.
