Church Building - Croxdale

GRP were contracted to carry out the demolition of the former church building at Croxdale. Due to the close proximity of the neighbouring house the building had to have a scaffold erected to allow the building to be demolished by hand.

This was carried out very carefully while maintaining good contact with the neighbour to alleviate any concerns they may have had before and during the work. The stone from the building was recycled where possible and the contract was completed within 4 weeks.

Following the flooding of the care home GRP were contracted by Broadacres Housing Association to carry out the demolition and asbestos removal on the now redundant care home.

Care had to be taken due to the close proximity of the residential properties on one side of the property and the water course on the other side. Waste and all plant could only be stored on the higher ground on the south side of the site to avoid it being carried away should the land flood again.

Dust suppression techniques were used to stop dust affecting the residents especially during the crushing of the hardcore which was stockpiled on site for future use. The contact was completed within 12 weeks.

Arriva Bus Depot – Richmond

GRP were tasked with the asbestos removal, demolition and redundant tank removal from the Bus Depot by Broadacres Housing Association. The demolition of the building took place near residential properties and a busy road.

The cement asbestos cladding was removed carefully first before the removal of the portal frame structure. The concrete slab was broken out and crushed on site ready to be used in the construction phase of the work by RBA Moody (Bros) Contractors. The contents of the redundant fuel tanks had to be WAC tested to check what substances they still contained as well as the surrounding soil due to suspicions that the tanks may have leaked slightly. Hydrocarbons were found to have leaked into the soil so it had to be removed from site and disposed of at registered waste disposal site. The holes were then refilled with clean recycled hardcore ready for the construction phase to begin. The contract was completed on time.
