Econ Group have been working on a project in Hastings, East Sussex over the past few months. The scheme of works is part of a large housing development for a national housing developer. The site was a former school and old recreational grounds.
Econ were tasked with the removal of the slabs and foundations of the premises. We also had to remove all hard standings and recreational equipment. The concrete and hardcore was crushed on site for reuse on the development.

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.
