Project Description
Working with the emergency services, AR's brief was to deliver the expert skills and tools to aid the emergency services to carry out demolition activities on the fire engulfed warehouse. Under emergency conditions, AR and the fire service brought the site to a safe state. The fire was the result of an arson attack and as such, it was recognised from the early offset that the project was required to be undertaken with due regard to the sensitivity of the client, emergency services and the loss adjusters.
Key Challenges
With nature and risks associated with the scale of operations, environmental emissions and all normal aspects of demolition projects (such as waste movements, dust & vibration) were going to need robust control measures in place.
Key Health and Safety Risks
- Access to the Site
- The Dust, Noise, and Vibration from the demolition process.
- Fire/explosion, including gas canisters
- Hot Works
