Allied London Melford Ltd., engaged the services of
Demolition Services Limited to carry out the demolition works at the
former Rackhams Store, Market Street, Bradford.
The works comprised the removal of the 5 upper storeys down
to 4th floor level, which remained, due to this being a listed
facade. As part of the works, substantial asbestos removal works
were undertaken together with the installation of a full
height working scaffold suitably clad with sheeting in order
to minimise any adverse environmental impact within the City
Centre location.
Works were undertaken utilising manual demolition techniques
and the contract was completed within the 16 week contract
programme agreed.
