INTRODUCTION (CONTINUED) Stoneleigh House fronts onto Tram Road (A260) and appears to be a traditional brick masonry structure, with a steel frame retrofitted to support a first-floor extension (which is essentially a modular unit). George Stone House appears to be constructed with traditional load bearing brick masonry however the roof frame is to be inspected and may be steel trusses. The building is built up to, and abuts, a historic wall. The historic wall and site retaining wall are to be retained and not damaged during the works. The site will be accessed from Tram Road. DDS will engage a scaffold contractor for the design and installation of a protective scaffold system to the front and side (party wall) elevations of Stoneleigh House. The scaffolding will be clad with heavy duty monarflex, protect public areas. Refurbishment and Demolition Surveys are to be carried out. Asbestos materials have been identified (corrugated asbestos cement roof sheets). In accordance with The Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 any Licensed Works asbestos materials will be removed by a specialist Licensed contractor DDS. Environmental Ltd. The Non-Licensed Works asbestos materials will be removed by DDS. All asbestos materials will be transported by a licensed carrier and disposed of in a licensed landfill site. All necessary transfer / consignment notes will be issued as part of the completion waste file. The services to the buildings for demolition are live. The arrangements for survey, tracing, isolation and termination of the services are to be made by Development House Ltd. A temporary water supply will be maintained for damping down dust and a temporary electrical supply for the site welfare. DDS are 9001, 14001 & 45001 compliant and proud of our respected reputation within the Construction Industry for the successful completion of sensitive demolition contracts. All demolition works will be carried out in accordance with BS 6187:2011 - Code of Practice for Demolition. DDS are fully aware that the key to a successful contract will be to fully segregate and protect the General Public, client operatives and adjacent structures from the impact of the demolition works – both visually and physically, from debris, dust, noise & vibration. The site will be secured with Heras fencing prior to demolition works commencing. Gates will be incorporated into the fencing at the pavement crossover location. A banksman will protect pedestrians and road users whilst vehicles enter or leave the site. The demolition of the structures will be progressed gradually using a combination of handheld tools (adjacent to the retained historic wall) and 360° excavators. The works will always be governed by safety. The method, routes of access and techniques may change as the condition of the structures unfolds.
