Demolition means that we demolish or dismantle part or a whole piece of structure related to the physical integrity of the building. Structures includes buildings, sheds, towers, storage, silos, etc. The Health and Safety Executive states all demolition, dismantling and structural alteration must be carefully planned and carried out in a way that prevents danger by employing the relevant skills, knowledge and experience.
Dismantling and Asset Recovery is exactly as it sounds, literally reverse construction engineering, generally clients may commission a mixed package of dismantling and demolition allowing structures to be dismantled and valuable assets to removed and recovered to be re-used or sold-off, reducing a client’s costs and benefiting future business.
Once the presence of asbestos has been confirmed, we will remove it from any part of your residential or commercial premises. We always work to the strict codes of practice set out by the HSE and with ST Demolition creating its own RAMS and Methodology plans to create a rigour safe plan of work at all times. We conduct comprehensive asbestos management surveys and asbestos refurbishment and demolition surveys, so we can help you manage the risk of asbestos and comply with legal requirements no matter the scale of your project.
A ‘heritage asset’ is shorthand for any component of our historic environment. It is defined in the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF)1, the Government’s planning policy statement, as “a building, monument, site, place, area or landscape identified as having a degree of significance meriting consideration in planning decisions, because of its heritage interest”. We provide specialised services for restoring Heritage and period properties, from an in-depth consultation, creating a detailed work plan, and implementing heritage preservation codes of practice, we then work through a project revealing a beautifully restored building. We leverage traditional techniques with modern technology to get the best possible results. We always coordinate with local authorities to ensure compliance with preservation standards.
We provide the full range of groundwork services including complex foundation construction, drainage/service work on to simple footpaths, and external paving. All works are undertaken with a high degree of professionalism and planning ensuring the right solution is safely implemented to meet our client’s needs. Our highly experienced managers & supervisors ensure the works are planned ahead of time to eliminate health and safety risks and ensure the works are carried out in the time allocated.
Land remediation aims to restore the land to an acceptable condition by resolving or treating problems caused by contamination in soil and water. Land is legally defined as 'contaminated' in cases where substances are causing or could cause significant harm to people, property or protected species, as well as causing significant pollution to surface waters (e.g. lakes or rivers) or groundwater. Land can become contaminated by a variety of substances, from heavy metals to agricultural waste. The environmental, financial and legal implications of this can be substantial. The level of risk posed by contamination depends on the scenario. ST Demolition have undertaken many remediation projects covering contamination ranging from simple oil/fuel up to harmful levels of radionucleotides and mercury left over from scientific experiments.
Once a pre-demolition survey has been completed and any necessary precautions have been taken, the soft strip demolition can begin. This process involves the systematic dismantling of internal structure materials, segregation and removal ensuring that the building is stripped down to its bare bones. We aim to recycle up to 96% of materials removed from soft strip projects, our highly skilled workforce separates material into categories to be reused within the industry, glass, metal, wood, plasterboard, copper, wire, floor & wall coverings, plastics, bricks/blocks and insulation If asbestos has been identified during the pre-demolition survey, it will be safely removed following strict regulations and guidelines to ensure the safety of workers and the surrounding environment. Specialised equipment and procedures are used to contain and remove asbestos, preventing any potential health risks.
