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.
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.
