Case Study: GP Demolition

CM Demolitions recently undertook a comprehensive project involving the demolition of an outdated 6566 sq ft GP surgery facility. The goal was to make way for a modern new building with a commercial unit and 9 apartments.

1. Limited Space: The GP surgery was situated in a confined urban space, requiring meticulous planning to ensure the safety of neighboring structures.

2. Asbestos Removal: The old building contained large quantities of asbestos, necessitating careful removal to comply with safety regulations.

3. Operational Continuity: Ensuring minimal disruption to adjacent facilities and maintaining good relations with the neighboring residences during the demolition process.

4. Asbestos Contaminated Hardcore: During the demolition there was limited space, so we set up a modern conveyor belt system with a manual picking line to pick asbestos and containments out of the hardcore, saving the client circa £180,000.

1. Thorough Planning: CM Demolitions conducted a detailed site analysis to develop a comprehensive demolition plan that addressed safety concerns and logistical challenges, including a Site Waste Management Plan and Risk Assessment & Method Statements.

2. Asbestos Abatement: Certified professionals were employed to safely remove and dispose of asbestos-containing materials in compliance with environmental regulations.

3. Structural Demolition: Utilizing advanced demolition equipment, CM Demolitions executed a systematic and controlled demolition process to maximize safety and efficiency.

1. Safe and Efficient Demolition: The project was completed with zero incidents or accidents.

2. Sustainable Practices: CM Demolitions prioritized environmentally friendly demolition methods, recycling materials wherever possible. 98% of demolition debris were recycled in this project.

3. Community Impact: The new space paved the way for a modern new facility, contributing to improvements in the local community.

CM Demolitions successfully navigated the challenges of demolishing an aging GP surgery, delivering a safe, efficient, and environmentally conscious solution.

This case study highlights our commitment to excellence in demolition projects, ensuring the successful transformation of outdated facilities into spaces that meet the evolving needs of the community.
