Econ Group have been working on a project in Hastings, East Sussex over the past few months. The scheme of works is part of a large housing development for a national housing developer. The site was a former school and old recreational grounds.
Econ were tasked with the removal of the slabs and foundations of the premises. We also had to remove all hard standings and recreational equipment. The concrete and hardcore was crushed on site for reuse on the development.

“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.”
