After completing our works successfully at HastingsAcademy, Econ were selected by East Sussex Council to carry out the complete enabling works package of the former secondary school.

The works involved demolishing the complete 33,000m2 site including all the hard standings.

We assumed the role as principal contractor throughout the works. As a principal contractor, Econ were responsible for securing the site with hoarding, providing all the welfare facilities, applying for Section 80 demolition notices and agreeing all permits with the local authorities.

In the pre-construction phase, Econ carried out the site investigations including asbestos surveys, topographical surveys, ecology surveys and GPR surveys.

Once on site, all isolations and capping of services was completed.

We then commenced the removal of asbestos and other hazardous materials including the removal of all fuels, oils and COSHH.

Finally the demolition was completed with all the granular arisings crushed to 6F2 and spread across the site on completion.
