Buxton Building Contractors

Site:

Harley Street and Wigmore Place, Marylebone

Our Role

Greenfield Demolition were awarded the subcontract package for Buxton Building Contractors. This was our fourth project awarded by Buxton in the space of twelve months.

The works included the strip out and alterations of the Grade II listed building in the heart of London.

Our Scope

• Strip out both structures
• Create openings
• Demolition of the link building between Harley Street and Wigmore Place
• Removal of the roof of Wigmore Place

Challenges:

There were multiple challenges throughout this project. Site logistics, multiple trades, program, contaminated waste, to name a few.

Solutions:

Prior to the project commencing Greenfield representatives worked closely with local suppliers regarding site logistics (delivery and collection times). Greenfield was given a one week head start before following trades started coming on to site so that Buxton were able to achieve their program. 

This project was a great way to start 2018 in such a prestigious area of London.

Croudace Portland

Site:

4 Oak Hill Grove, Surbiton

Our Role

Greenfield Demolition were awarded the demolition package to act as Principal Contractor. This was our first project for Croudace Portland.

Our Scope

• R&D Survey
• Tree Protection
• Asbestos Removal
• Soft Strip
• Demolition
• Crush & Stockpile

Challenges:

We faced a few challenges on this project mainly due to the surrounding area. A reserved woodland bounded the eastern side of the site and the other three sides were bounded by properties. These had to be at the forefront of our methodology and logistical planning.

Solutions:

To overcome these challenges we sent our Dustboss to site to ensure all processing was fully suppressed. We also had to work closely with our suppliers to avoid certain times during the day when deliveries / collections were required to minimise disruption in the local area. This method was also implemented to any noisy works onsite.

This project was completed three days before expected completion.

Jerram Falkus Construction Ltd

Site:

Peckham Palms, Bournemouth Close, Peckham

Our Role

Greenfield Demolition were awarded the clearance and landscaping work as subcontractors. This is our second project for Jerram.

Our Scope

• Asbestos Sampling
• Environmental Clean
• Landscaping
• Installation of a footpath

Greenfield Demolition were called on to mobilise quick mid-project for Jerram Falkus. Suspected asbestos was discovered beneath the slab.

Our surveyor sampled and confirmed the suspected asbestos as cement chrysotile.

Greenfield's NNLW trained asbestos operatives carried out an environmental clean which all waste was taken to a licensed facility for landfill. 

Following the environmental clean, our groundwork team scraped the site ready to install the footpath to what would e the new housing development.
