As a local contractor we were proud to be part of the regeneration of this area and provide our client with the resources and expertise to prepare this site for follow-on housebuilders.

Scope of work included asbestos removal, internal soft strip, and demolition of a variety of traditional type school buildings. Environmental impact was high on our clients list of requirements as the site was in a populated residential area. We engaged with stakeholders during the lead-in phase, advising them of our award, key programme dates and our proposals for reducing impact. Dust, noise and vibration were monitored throughout, state of the art suppression units controlled dust migration and deliveries and waste removal scheduled for quieter periods of the day to reduce impact on local roads users.

The client’s selection of a local specialist contractor assisted in reducing environmental impact – carbon footprint, supporting local supply chains, FORS compliant fleet, ISO:14001 contractor, sustainable demolition.
