SCOPE OF WORKS

Initial work involved the removal of all roof tiles to navigate bat issues, in line with “Natural England” protocols. Soft Strip of the existing buildings ahead of the asbestos removal work and the mechanical demolition, including slabs and foundations. 

PROJECT DELIVERY

Asbestos Hazards: The project required meticulous planning and the use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) to ensure safe removal of ACMs, including handpicking and removal of damp-proof courses and textured coatings. 

Access to Fragile Areas: Boom lifts (cherry pickers) were essential for safely removing roof tiles and accessing hard-to-reach areas. 

Phased Execution: The project was divided into two phases to handle ACMs in critical and common areas without cross-contamination. 

Location: Bordered by the busy Oxford ring road and closely surrounded by housing and businesses.  

Mechanical Demolition: The building was demolished using heavy equipment, ensuring safe disposal of debris. 

Asbestos Removal: ACMs were carefully removed from ceilings, floors, windows, fire doors, loft hatches, and AIB-lined areas, following strict safety protocols. 

THE OUTCOME

All asbestos-containing materials were safely removed and disposed of according to regulatory standards. The building was demolished with no incidents or contamination, completing the project on time. 

The Northfield House project highlights the importance of safety, planning, and phased execution in asbestos-related demolition work. Specialised equipment and trained personnel ensured a hazard-free, successful demolition and disposal process
