Sector: Construction
About the Project:
Removal of asbestos containing materials from former recording studios, prior to conversion into a hotel.
Deconstruct were contracted to demolish theadjoining office building at Carlisle Street and stripthe St Anne’s Court building back to shell and core.
Asbestos was present throughout both propertiesand had to be completely removed prior to
demolition and strip out.
The majority of the asbestos was asbestos insulation board (AIB) located behind the acoustic panelling within the
basement recording studios.
Project Challenges:
With the asbestos insulation board being located behind the acoustic panelling, it was necessary to incorporate the removal of the panelling within the asbestos removal operation.
Deconstruct asbestos removal teams had to deconstruct 6 layers of acoustic boarding and panelling to access and remove the asbestos.
The fixings and fittings that secured the acoustic panelling, passed through the asbestos and had to be carefully removed, to avoid uncontrolled damage to the asbestos.
A considerable amount of contaminated waste was generated from these works. The waste needed to be carefully transferred from the basement working area, to ground floor level, for collection on a ‘wait and load’ basis.
The waste transfer process was a very labour intensive operation.
