RIBA

LDD were appointed as principal contractor to undertake the enabling works prior to appointment of a Fit Out contractor. The works included all M&E isolations and degassing, management and coordination of the asbestos works, structural opening for survey purposes, Strip Out and waste away.

Site set up including welfare facilities were established within the building’s external perimeter with fire rated hoardings erected within the building to maintain existing fire routes for the adjacent building’s occupants.

LDD worked alongside the asbestos contractors ensuring safe segregation of the working and decontamination areas. All site visitors and trade contractors were inducted and worked under LDD’s permit to work systems including RAMS and training review.

LDD worked alongside the client to ascertain and subsequently protect materials or features that could remain or be reused. Waste was strictly segregated and removed to skips and compaction vehicles for recycling by our approved waste contractors.

Of 173 tonnes removed, 99.23% was recycled with the small remainder being treated as waste to energy. Full reporting was issued to the client.
