Demolition
Three Weeks
Econ Construction were commissioned to carry out the demolition of FM Conway’s former office in Dartford, Kent.
The structure to be demolished was steel frame construction with brick infill and concrete hollow pot roof. The demolition was undertaken with great care and attention as the structure was connected to adjoining structures that had to remain operational.
This was achieved using diamond sawing and hand demolition to separate the structures before completing the demolition using mechanical demolition excavators.
The project was completed to budget and programme with no reportable incidents throughout the works.
ARCA Trained Asbestos Managers through to Operatives, Econ’s team included staff who met the following requirements: Emergency First Aid, IPAF, CPCS, CSCS
1 X 20 tonne excavator, skip lorry, hand tools and diamond drilling equipment.
Our Client is extremely pleased at the way we, supported by Econ, have dealt with the situation. From the moment you confirmed that notifiable asbestos was present, a focused, concerted effort has been made by Econ to deal with the problem. The client was impressed at the speed in which Econ tabled a strategic proposal to the HSE to remove the asbestos, working 24/7 non-stop, to expedite the removal. The fact that the proposal, including approval by the HSE, was achieved in such a short timescale is credit to Econ. The proactive approach, while being flexible and accommodating to allow key ECR staff to work in a safe, isolated contained area, has really impressed the Network Rail team.
