University of Bolton

Challenge

The University of Bolton approached Ian to assist with the whole scale demolition and site clearance at one of the university's redundant sites, in preparation for a £60m redevelopment of the site.

Solution

In the first instance Ian sat down with stakeholders from the university and discussed the requirements in detail, ensuring open communication and full transparency on the brief. A competitive tendering process was then undertaken to enlist the services of relevant specialist contractors.

Ian and his team managed all aspects of the demolition works from initiation through to completion which included:

• Production of all technical drawings and specification of works
• Submission of full outline planning application
• Whole scale asbestos survey and abatement works
• Full compliance with the party wall ACT etc. 1996

Results

Our primary objective for this project was to provide the university with a smooth, safe and hassle free demolition whilst working to a tight deadline.

The project was delivered to the University's satisfaction on all of these fronts and ensured that their site redevelopment was able to commence on schedule.

In addition to this we achieved a 96% recycle rate and passed on £20k worth of savings via efficiencies we were able to drive during project delivery.
