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 U

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.

Are biodegradable shrink wraps the future of construction site containment? A practical look at performance, real-world waste outcomes, and why biodegradable wrap offers a clearer path to reducing long-term plastic pollution.

A practical comparison of biodegradable and recyclable shrink wrap for construction sites — exploring performance, waste impact, and why biodegradable wrap offers a clearer path to reducing long-term plastic pollution.

Shrink-wrap doesn’t have a fixed lifespan. It depends on weather, exposure, geometry, workmanship and how well it’s maintained. This guide explains what really shortens service life on UK scaffolds, simple inspection and maintenance routines, and when to patch, re-skin or remove wraps safely.

When historic RAF jets and bombers at RAF Scampton had to be moved out of their hangars, they couldn’t be left to the weather. This case study shows how EcoShrink used 300 micron FR shrink wrap to fully encapsulate complex aircraft shapes, with no scaffold, and protect high-value heritage assets outdoors.

Single-use plastics are a common sight on construction and modular building sites. From pallet wrap to sheeting used for temporary weather protection, these materials are everywhere. The UK construction sector is estimated to consume nearly a quarter of all plastics used nationally. Packaging and coverings represent a significant share of this consumption. Contractors, specifiers, and site managers are increasingly being asked to reduce reliance on single-use plastics in favo

When storm-damaged sheeting flaps in the first winter gale, it’s more than an eyesore – it’s proof that wind forces were underestimated on that specific site. At EcoShrink we’re often called to re-wrap façades after “perfectly good” scaffold sheeting fails. The common thread? Site teams relied on generic Met Office data or tie-spacing tables instead of analysing how wind really behaves around their project. This guide breaks down: How site-specific wind loads differ from off

Off-site, factory-built construction is no longer a niche trend; it is becoming the backbone of new hospitals, schools, and housing projects across the UK. While modular construction slashes programme time and improves quality, it also turns traditional ideas about site protection on their head. Modules travel hundreds of miles on motorways, are craned into position in hours, and often arrive at busy live sites that remain open to the public. Each step creates fresh exposure
