01 / Understand

The challenge.

  • Asbestos panels needed removal before demolition could proceed.
  • Live services and operational buildings surrounded the work areas.
  • The link bridge required a planned lifting and removal sequence at height.
02 / Control & deliver

Harte’s solution.

  • Coordinated specialist asbestos removal ahead of structural work.
  • Formed floor openings using controlled cutting, propping and dust suppression.
  • Used Brokk demolition and a coordinated crane plan, with scaffold protection and exclusion zones.
The result

Delivery.

Floor openings formed and the concrete link bridge dismantled between operational science buildings.
