I&R Demolition Ltd was awarded the contract for the demolition and crushing works at the former Lea Methodist Church site in Preston. Our scope of works was to demolish the site and crush all arising hardcore to 6f2 specification, followed by excavation of foundations, crushing all arising hardcore to 6f2 which would be reused on site during the construction. The site was being cleared to make way for a mix of new affordable housing.
The demolition was carried out using our 25 ton excavator fitted with selector grab attachment and all materials segregated into roll on roll off skips as we progressed. We aim to reclaim as much as physically possible enabling us to lower our carbon footprint minimising waste and giving materials a new lease of life.
Once all the excavation and demolition was complete all hardcore generated was crushed and stockpiled on site ready for the groundworkers to start installing piling mats.
The project was a 4 week program from start to completion. The careful planning and execution by the site team ensured the site was handed back to the client on time and on budget and to their satisfaction.
