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.

The Oakwood Group

Site:

Leaden Hill Industrial Estate, Coulsdon

Our Role:

Greenfield Demolition were awarded the demolition work by The Oakwood Group. This would be our third project awarded by Oakwood.

Our Scope:

• Asbestos Removal
• Soft Strip
• Demolish all buildings
• Crush all aggregate arising

This site consisted of six units, all of different sizes, ranging from 70m² to 600m². The site was adjacent to Coulsdon Town Train Station, with the two main warehouses sitting within 1.5m of the platform. With all boundaries of the site being associated with Network Rail property, we had to work closely with The Oakwood Group and Network Rail to come up with a suitable method which would not affect the live platform area.

We worked closely with local suppliers to ensure minimal disruption was caused during access to Coulsdon Town Train Station. We employed a watchman to stand on the platform to liaise with the site supervisor to communicate when the platform was busy so works could be suspended until passengers got on the train. This process continued until all sheets were removed from the roof and the wall was lowered to below the boundary fence. Once this was completed our 45t Excavator and our two 22t excavators completed the demolition contract.

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

Feedback

‘’Very Tidy Job. Very Pleased’’

Greenfield Demolition was employed as a principal contractor by Hodson Developments to demolish a standalone office building. Our scope was to erect hoarding gates for delivery and pedestrian gates, remove asbestos, strip out, demolish, remove slab and foundations, grub up car park area and remove all arisings from site.

Challenges

The main challenge on this project was the program being 5 weeks. The building being a two storey 3000m² and the car park area to the rear of the office building another 1000m².

The second challenge was the asbestos to the warehouse roof.

Solutions

To overcome these challenges, we allocated 90% of our site staff to this project.

The asbestos roof had to be brought down with the machine. We had exclusions zones and drop zones in place and prior to the removal with had suppressed the sheets with water. We carefully lowered the sheets to ground level straight into a roll on/off bin which was then taken into a licenced waste facility.

Greenfield Demolition was employed by Smallworld UK to undertake the demolition works of an office in Reigate. Our scope was to strip out, demolish, remove slab and foundations and remove all arisings from site.

Challenges

The main challenge on this project was the neighbouring buildings owner whom had a lot uncertainties and under knowledge with demolition.

Solutions

Our supervisor spoke with the neighbour to talk about methods of work and how we would cause minimal disturbance as possible. To create minimal disturbance Greenfield Demolition had one labourer directing a hose on the area of operation to minimise dust. We also used a dust buster machine for the overall site to create less arising dust.
