Bank holiday weekend
Econ was commissioned to demolish and clear a concrete footbridge spanning a four lane highway. Timing was critical to ensure that disruption to traffic and local residents was kept to a minimum. Working ‘round the clock’ over a four day weekend period the Econ team successfully demolished and disposed of a large concrete structure in a controlled, efficient and safe operation. A carefully planned convoy approach ensured that all waste material was removed and recycled in the most environmentally friendly way possible.
Careful and detailed planning was essential and the works were overseen and coordinated by one of our highly experienced project managers. Key staff included demolition technicians, and a team of waste removal and recycling operatives. By using our own material recycling facilities and pre-selected and vetted sites we were able to clear a large quantity of waste arising from the demolition over the four day period.

"I have worked with Econ on many projects within London Underground and Network Rail infrastructure. Econ have always been very proactive in their approach to the projects and have worked collaboratively with my teams from the very early stages. I would definitely recommend them to others"
