Marine / York Dock, Belfast 
Let’s discuss
Barge removal & demolition
Recovery, dismantling and disposal of three asbestos-lined steel barges that were taking on water: LA2, SCOW and CB3.
01 / Understand
The challenge.
- A leaking vessel required ongoing pumping within an operational dock.
- Restricted access, work beside water and asbestos-containing materials required specialist planning.
- The lift sequence had to accommodate dock traffic and container movements.
02 / Control & deliver
Harte’s solution.
- Planned a controlled lift sequence around the live dock environment.
- Completed asbestos clearance before lifting the barges ashore.
- Used cold cutting, controlled dismantling and continuous waste segregation.
The result
Delivery.
Three barges recovered and dismantled, with 208.79 tonnes recycled.
