Project Overview

The demolition project at Hockley Industrial Estate was undertaken as part of the redevelopment of a former industrial estate to provide a new residential development in the heart of Redhill, Surrey. The existing structures, approx. 1700m² combined, that once served as various industrial outlets, had reached the end of its lifecycle and was no longer deemed structurally sound or fit for purpose. The site was situated between a neighbourhood and Network Rail, the main line from Gatwick to London Victoria.

Safety was a top priority throughout the project. Comprehensive method statement and risk assessments were conducted, which had to be reviewed and approved by Network Rail to assist with a BAPA agreement. All workers received safety training tailored to the specific hazards of the site.
