Tower House - Demolition
One of our regular clients called to ask if we undertake demolition works
We jumped at the opportunity
A site survey was booked, and we swiftly attended to scope out what was required
An old water reservoir storage tank, dating back to the 50’s, was on the agenda. Our client wanted it taken down, and all underground storage to be filled in
We put together a proposal, which allowed for a full R&D Asbestos Survey, removal of the current metal clad roof, and infill of the underground chamber
After successfully securing the job, we sent in the Asbestos specialists to undertake the R&D survey
This came back all clear in the reservoir, but as expected the small roof to an outbuilding needed specialist removal
This was booked in, and removed by our contractor within days, and cleared from site
Time to remove the roof
We ordered in a large MEWP to assist with the removal of the roofing sheets, and steelwork, making it easy to move down the sections, and quickly get them carted away from site
Next came the removal of any above ground walls, and our in house specialist got to work with a 3 tonne excavator and breaker, removing them in no time at all
All that was left was to infill the remaining underground chamber area
We called on a local contractor that supplied recycled crushed chalk, and loaded in over 500 tonnes, compacting it down as we progressed
The final layer was recycled crushed road stone, which brought in the levels, and formed the new parking area
Surrounding the area we installed new soil, and planted Wild Flower seeds
Client happy, another successful job in the bag
