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.
Orpington Maintenance Delivery Unit have been utilising Econ’s Services since the commencement of the new Environmental Services contract in October 2021. Since mobilisation Econ have provided our DU with a very efficient and professional service. The customer service and contract team are very friendly and approachable. I use the services of Econ primarily for Non-Emergency call outs which includes both general litter picking and fly tipping jobs as well as larger and more complex waste issues. Every job that I raise is acknowledged and responded to within a quick timescale. Following the completion of each job, I receive a signed completion certificate including photos and detailed commentary. Similarly the period payment reporting is issued on time with full back up information for ease of reference. This enables us to identify jobs and authorise payment quickly. I can strongly recommend the services of Econ who have improved the levels of service previously experienced and assisted our team with the resolution of a number of more difficult and costly cases on our patch.
