Summary

Econ Construction were commissioned to carry out the demolition of FM Conway’s former office in Dartford, Kent.

The structure to be demolished was steel frame construction with brick infill and concrete hollow pot roof.  The demolition was undertaken with great care and attention as the structure was connected to adjoining structures that had to remain operational.

This was achieved using diamond sawing and hand demolition to separate the structures before completing the demolition using mechanical demolition excavators.

The project was completed to budget and programme with no reportable incidents throughout the works.

ARCA Trained Asbestos Managers through to Operatives, Econ’s team included staff who met the following requirements: Emergency First Aid, IPAF, CPCS, CSCS

Equipment/Plant Used

1 X 20 tonne excavator, skip lorry, hand tools and diamond drilling equipment.

“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.”
