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.

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.

Deepwood Properties

Site:

Britannia Wharf, Monument Way, Woking

Our Role:

Greenfield Demolition was awarded the demolition package by Deepwood Properties to act as Principal Contractor. This was our first project for Deepwood.

Our Scope:

• R + D Survey
• Remove fly-tipped waste
• Asbestos Removal
• Soft Strip
• Demolition down to basement level
• Remove all arising from site

This was a prestigious project for Greenfield. A four storey 2,500m² footprint building with a basement for underground parking.

The building was situated adjacent the Saturn Trail canal which bounded the southern boundary and Horsell Common Conservation Park bounded the others.

Our first operation was to remove the fly-tipped waste from site which was left by people whom broke into the site prior to commencement of the works. We undertook this work throughout the day to keep cost down for the client. A soft strip was carried out in unison by another team to ensure the program was not affected. 

The buildings interceptors were turned off when the offices were closed and this led to flooding in the basement. Greenfield worked closely with Deepwood to pump out and dispose of the excess water.

Greenfield managed to recycle 99.6% of all waste arising.

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 was 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. The building was to be demolished behind the front facade making way for a residential and commercial development.

Our Scope:

• Asbestos Removal
• Soft Strip
• Separations
• Hand Demolition to the rear of the site
• Demolition
• Remove slab and foundations
• Crush hardcore and concrete arisings and stockpile
• Reduced dig to create basement area (clear from site)
   

Challenge:

Greenfield’s biggest challenge on this project was later on in the project. With the crushed material being reused by the client in the early stages of construction, Greenfield had to mobilise around a tight site during the reduced dig. 

Solutions:

To enable us to reduce this challenge, Greenfield swapped one of our larger 22t Excavator for one of our smaller 13t Excavators. We have grown strong working relationships with local suppliers in and around the South East and worked closely with the haulage company to enable the amount of inert material that was being excavated being stockpiled

Project Review

Greenfield Demolition was awarded the demolition works at Godalming by Buxton Building Contractors to demolish a commercial barn used as a vet practice to make way for a modern facility. This job is to be completed over one phase and we are to act as a Subcontractor.

This was our first project for Buxton Building Contractors

Our Scope:

• Asbestos Removal
• Soft Strip Out
• Demolition of Buildings
• Remove Slab and Foundations

Challenges

Greenfield’s greatest challenge on this project was that the works were carried out on a live veterinary practice. Great consideration had to go into the traffic management and noise reductions as not to affect the practice. We also had to take into consideration working whilst filming was being undertaken for a tv show

Solutions

Greenfield worked closely with Buxton’s site manager and the Client pre-commencement to assess the busiest times leading up to the project start. Greenfield, where possible grubbed up the slab and foundations using a bucket and had set times to break the aggregate into manageable pieces. Tool box talks were also undertaken regarding noise reduction/ monitoring and taking into consideration neighbouring buildings.

Bespoke Modular Developments Ltd

Greenfield Demolition were awarded as sub-contractor to undertake the demolition works at the former MOT/Garage site in New Cross for our second project for Bespoke Modular Developments Ltd.

Scope

• Asbestos Removal
• Soft Strip (including separations)

Challenges

Our biggest challenge at New Cross was the close proximity to the surrounding neighbouring buildings. Each of the four buildings, three of which were removed in phase 1, had to be carefully demolished/dismantled on the boundary walls. This took one of our most experienced teams to complete within three weeks ahead of program.

Phase two is set to commence late 2018 which will bring a more complex method of demolition with the building being structurally weak.
