5 Star Hotel Relocation

The task

One-Day Extraction and Re-Delivery for a Five-Star Hotel in Dublin.

Challenge

A prestigious five-star hotel in the heart of Dublin required the extraction of all beds, bases, and mattresses from sixty-five rooms spanning six floors in preparation for an upcoming conference. The task involved export wrapping and storing the items in Cronin Group’s warehouse within a tight one-day timeframe.

The Process: Efficient Planning and Execution

• Pre-Planning and Survey: The Cronin Group foreman conducted a detailed survey of the job and collaborated with the hotel project manager to pre-plan the entire move.
• Risk Assessment and Method Statement: A comprehensive Risk Assessment and Method Statement were prepared, addressing potential challenges and ensuring the safety and efficiency of the operation. The document was signed off by the customer.
• Team Allocation: Twelve men were assigned per floor, with two designated for each lift, and four loading vehicles accompanied by six rigid trucks.
• Protective Measures: Floor, lift, door protection, and door wedges were applied to safeguard both the hotel’s property and the extraction process.
• Item Tagging: To ensure accurate re-delivery, all bases and mattresses were tagged with the respective room and floor numbers.
• Packaging: Mattresses were placed into mattress bags, and bases were split and carefully wrapped for protection during transportation.
• Loading Procedure: A team of twelve men on each floor, two in each lift, and four loading the truck worked in synchronization. Bases and mattresses were loaded onto the trucks one floor at a time.
• Securing the Load: All mattresses and bases were securely strapped in the trucks to prevent any damage during transit.
• Warehouse Storage: The loaded items were transported back to the Cronin Group warehouse, ready for storage until the re-delivery.
• Re-Delivery Process: One week later, the bases and mattresses were redelivered to the hotel. The same meticulous process was followed, including unpacking, assembly, and the removal of debris.

THE OUTCOME: Successful and Stress-Free Relocation

• Immediate Impact: The six floors were successfully cleared in a single day, enabling the hotel to prepare for the upcoming conference without delays. Redelivery was also carried out in a single day, allowing the hotel to return to normal operation without disruption.
• Post-Conference Satisfaction: After the conference, the hotel coordinator and staff expressed their appreciation for the streamlined and stress-free relocation project facilitated by Cronin Group. They commented that they were looking forward to seeing us again next year.
