Demolition Services Limited successfully negotiated
and completed two simultaneous contracts which involved the excavation
and removal of some 80,000 tonnes of natural material to facilitate the
construction of a new water treatment works together with the construction
of 66 new dwellings.
The aim was to excavate approximately 80,000 tonnes
of natural rock to form a new water treatment works at Yorkshire Water
existing facility at Holmbridge, Huddersfield and transport it to a former
cotton mill site, purchased by Beazer Homes Northern Ltd., known as Park
Mill, Shaw, Oldham.
During the course of these works Demolition
Services Ltd., also broke out and removed concrete ground
floor slabs to the
|
previously demolished
Mill, and all materials generated from both projects were
recycled at the Shaw development utilising 2 No. mobile crushing
units in order to produce a 6F2 hardcore capping material
sufficient to use as fill, which could be spread, levelled
and consolidated, prior to the installation of new raft foundations
to facilitate the new house construction.
The major key to the efficient
running of both operations was the careful forward planning
required in order that materials were continuously moved
between both projects, in a safe and controlled manner,
utilising the complete range of resources available from
within the
company. 
Both projects were completed on time and within budget.
