Asbestos Removal & Demolition
Econ were contracted to carry out the asbestos removal and demolition of Priestmead School in Harrow.
The site comprised of two and three storey 1930’s concrete framed buildings.
The works commenced after the new school was built and the pupils were decanted from the school.
Shortly after commencement in February 2020 we had to introduce measures to conform to the new government COVID 19 procedures.
We successfully managed this on site and introduced audits and procedures which were then used on all of our sites going forward.
The project at peak had over 20 operatives working on the site with support in the demolition phase of 2 x 14tonne excavators, 3 x 21 tonne excavators. We removed over 80,000 tonnes of hardcore from the site in the space of 6 working days.
Due to the new school already being constructed, all materials were taken off site for recycling.
These were highly commended by our client and the works were completed on time and on budget.
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.
