Newburgh Engineering, Derbyshire (Phase 2)

Client: Camstead Homes   |   Location: Bradwell, Derbyshire 

Phase 2

The 2nd phase of this project involved the removal of non-notifiable Asbestos and remote demolition of the remainder of the former Newburgh engineering site which produced major components for the MOD. Works consisted of the demolition of 200,000 sq. ft of industrial buildings, MDL removed all slabs and sub structures and crushed this to type 1. All non-notifiable Asbestos was removed as per the control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and was undertaken by Metropolitan Demolition’s highly trained workforce.

The demolition of the buildings was undertaken using a Volvo 460 High Reach Demolition rig assisted by a Doosan 420 and Doosan 225 both fitted with hydraulic shears and selector grabs for loading and segregating waste materials. Throughout the demolition process over a 1000 tons of scrap metal was recovered creating a credit back to the client. All waste was removed from site to a licensed facility.

Once the demolition had been completed, the next phase was to commence with the removal of all bases and sub structures, some up to 6 metres in depth. Using our 50 to 30 tonne excavators, all concrete was broken out using hydraulic breakers and processed for crushing, using dust cannons to keep dust control to a minimum. We used two of our 50 ton Jaw Crushers from our extensive fleet of in-house equipment to crush and screen the 50,000 tonnes of material processed to type 1 for re-use on site by the developers.
