Demolition Services Limited were successful in obtaining and completing the demolition of the Admiralty Building, Granary Wharf, Leeds for Developer CTP/St. James Securities Ltd.

The works comprised the complete demolition of a former brick built Mill building approximately 100 mtrs., long by 25 mtrs., wide by 18 mtrs., high known as the Admiralty Building, to facilitate the regeneration of a semi derelict estate known as the Canal Basin close to Leeds City Centre.

The works also involved the removal of asbestos located within the existing Boilerhouse. This work was carried out in advance of the demolition works in order that the whole of the contract could be completed within the agreed contract period and to the satisfaction of the Contract Administrator.

Following the ever increasing changes in the British Car Manufacturing market Rover Group/Durr Ltd. Joint Venture engaged the services of Demolition Services Limited, as a preferred Supplier, to carry out a number of contracts within the Longbridge Car Plant, Birmingham.

The main activity involved the stripping out of redundant plant within a number of existing paintshops, followed by structural demolition, in order to facilitate the construction of a new Paintshop complex. The works involved the clearance of some 5,000 tonnes of redundant plant and steelwork. Prior to these works, dustproof screens were erected in order to provide an adequate seal to those paintshops which remained "live" and those which were to be demolished, in order that the production and manufacture of the existing facility could continue.

The major key to the efficient running of the operation, which had to be completed within an extremely tight contract period, was the organisation and planning of in-house resources which were provided within agreed time slots and out of hours working in order that interface with production could be guaranteed. Following Demolition Services success in carrying out these operations they have recently been awarded further contracts at Rover Group, Oxford and Jaguar Cars, Castle Bromwich.
