Bunn Leisure

Site:

White Horse Complex, Paddock Lane, Selsey

Our Role

Greenfield Demolition was awarded the demolition and asbestos removal works at Bunn Leisure, Selsey's White Horse Complex. This was the second part of Bunn Leisure's facility upgrade that Greenfield had been a part of. 

Like previously, the park was to remain live albeit the back end of the holiday season.

Our Scope

• Asbestos Removal (notifiable)
• Asbestos Removal (non-notifiable)
• Soft Strip
• Demolition of all buildings (Storage Units, Club House, Swimming Pool Building, and Entertainment Facility)
• Crush all arisings and stockpile onsite

Challenges:

The greatest challenge for this project was the timescale. The complex was to be demolished in 8 weeks including the removal of AIB and asbestos cement. Not only was this Greenfield's largest project, at the time, Greenfield were extremely busy.

Solutions:

Greenfield invested in more plant and sourced local, trained and experienced labour. We completed the works within the projected program.

Greenfield Demolition was awarded the demolition works at Selsey Resort by Bunn Leisure to demolish three warehouses to provide an area for parking and mobile homes. This job was to be completed over one phase and we acted as subcontractor.

Our Scope:

• Asbestos Removal
• Demolition of Buildings
• Remove Slab and Foundations
• Crush all arisings on site
• Move crushed arising to White Horse development area

Challenges

Greenfield’s greatest challenge on this project was that the works were carried out during the back end of the holiday season. Great consideration had to go into the traffic management and noise reductions as not to affect the holiday resort.

Solutions

Greenfield worked closely with Bunn Leisure’s site manager pre-start to assess the busiest times leading up to the project start. We concluded that set delivery and collection times were to be implemented. Greenfield, where possible grubbed up the slab and foundations using a bucket and had set times to break the aggregate into manageable pieces.

Project Review

Greenfield Demolition have been employed by IC Construction to undertake the demolition works at 64 South Street, Romford. The building was a former nightclub and in mid-terrace with two very busy retail/financial stores either side.

Our Scope:

• Demolition of Building
• Remove Slab and Foundations
• Crush all arisings on site
• Façade is to remain in situ

Greenfield Demolition was employed by Mole Valley District Council to undertake the demolition works as Principal Contractor to demolish football stands, clubhouse buildings, along with ancillary buildings and shelter/ dug outs. All the slab, pathways and foundations were grubbed up and all arisings carted away.

Challenges

The main challenge on this project was we had to ensure minimal damage was caused to the current football pitch, doing so mid-winter where the ground was very wet.

When grubbing up the pathways around the pitch we uncovered broken asbestos.

Further to this, it was a contentious project with mixed support from the public. Meadowbanks had been a football club since the late 19^th Century. We also had to be wary of noise created due to the surrounding offices.

Solutions

To prevent damage when removing the dug outs, we laid track pads to move machinery across the pitch.

When the asbestos was discovered we first had our team to test the type of asbestos that was present. The results came back as cement bonded which with the correct PPE and suits was placed into asbestos bags and taken to a licenced waste facility.
