Project Overview

MGL Demolition undertook asbestos removal at a redundant industrial unit at Admiral Business Park in Cramlington. This was part of a wider scheme to partially demolish multiple structures, including a single-story office block, a boiler room, and a chimney stack.

Scope of Works

• Pigeon guano removal to prepare the site for asbestos removal.
• Safe removal of both licensed and non-licensed asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) from various structures:
  • Licensed Asbestos Removal as per CAR 2012 from the single-story office block, central workshop unit and the boiler room, including AIB fire breaks and thermal insulation residue, within a controlled environment using negative pressure and fibre suppression methods.
  • Non-Licensed Asbestos Removal: Safely removing approximately 21,732m² of asbestos cement roof sheeting using elevated mobile working platforms.

Challenges

Proximity to operating businesses meant careful planning and coordination were necessary to minimise disruptions to neighbouring businesses.

The presence of pigeon guano required additional cleaning efforts before asbestos removal. Under semi-controlled conditions and using specialist detergents and pesticides, the site removed a substantial amount of guano.

Summary

The team’s commitment to quality, demonstrated by their ability to work safely and efficiently in a challenging environment while adhering to strict regulations, is a testament to their professionalism and experience.
