Dangerous Structures Case Study

Deconstruct to make safe structures in Croydon following devastating riots.

Client: Linbrooks Location: London Road, CroydonContractor: Deconstruct UK Ltd Completion Date: August 2011Sector: Dangerous Structures

About the Project:

ZERO HARM THROUGH ZERO TOLERANCE

The project involved eleven structures affected by fires following street riots in August 2011. Numerous structures were left un-safe as a result of the fires and un-controlled collapses.

There was significant risk of contamination from asbestos debris and also live gas and electrical services located in the footpaths and alleys.

Around 30 families were made homeless as a result of these fires and a number of others faced a wait to re-enter their adjoining premises.

Deconstruct were required to retain as much of the adjoining structures as possible and avoid collateral damage following the making safe of buildings clearly in need of planned demolition.

The clear objective was to retain and return safe access to adjoining structures while opening this key road into and out of Croydon.

Project Challenges:

ZERO HARM THROUGH ZERO TOLERANCE

Working with the emergency services to ensure structures and the general public remain safe throughout.

Ensuring un-controlled collapses are sufficiently cordoned to not present risk.

Ensure all in pavement services are terminated/isolated during the works to ensure they are not effected by controlled collapses.
