Asbestos Removal & Demolition
Econ were contracted as to carry out the two phases of demolition at Salvatorian College in Harrow.
Econ’s asbestos removal team completed the removal all of the licensable and non-licensable asbestos. The advantage of having dual trained staff enables us to keep to strict programme constraints.
The first phase of demolition, in 2017 included separating the existing building from the school remaining in Phase 1 and the catholic church building. Extreme care had to be taken during this phase.
This enabled Kier to construct the new school. We then returned in 2019 to complete the remainder of the Asbestos removal and demolition. These works had to be carried out in extremely close proximity to the new school building.
Works were full completed in January 2020.
“We were impressed with the approach used by you operation team to carry out the works both professional and diligently. Econ were very accommodating to meet our needs from the initial presentations prepared on strategy to mitigate risks and throughout execution of the works and keeping us fully informed and giving us the confidence we needed. The approach of Econ Site supervisors and visiting managers through to operatives on site was always of a high standard and good-natured and we are pleased to give credit where it is due. On site initiatives by the team from demonstrations /videos of emergency procedures when working in asbestos enclosures and working with consistent site uniforms contributed to the site achieving a Kier ‘Blue’ for best practice and working above standards. This was an excellent example of collaborative working and a joint approach to promptly overcome some of the challenges with asbestos and how best to deal with this along with working near challenging neighbours’ properties, the school and the church.”
