Demolition
2 Weeks including a Full Weekend Closure
Econ were employed as a principle Contractor to plan, design and remove the canopy outside Woking Railway Station.
Econ started the design phase 18 months prior to the removal.
Econ managed all the liaison and approvals from Network Rail as the canopy removal had direct impact on the operational railway.
Econ carried out the removal of Photovoltaic glass during night time road closures. We then dismantled the canopy during a full weekend closure.
The works progressed whilst the Railway Station stayed fully operational
A full Crane team utilising the Mobile Tower Crane, Econ Demolition Site Managers rotated on shifts, Site Supervisors and Demolition Labourers. Econ’s team included staff who met the following requirements: CCDO, CPCS, IPAF & Hot Cutting
Mobile Telescopic Tower Crane, Mobile Elevated Working Platforms, Debris Netting, 25t Excavator with Selecta Grab attachment, Bulker Lorries for the removal of the materials.
“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.”
