DEMOLITION - DISMANTLING - STRIP OUT - ASBESTOS REMOVALRECYCLING OF AGGREGATE MATERIALS - WASTE MANAGEMENT GRAHAM Kings House Structural Demolition and Strip Out Value: £745,000 Scope of works Lancebox group carried out the demolition works to Kings house, Reading between June 2015 – Feb 2016. The project consisted of the removal of internal stair cores, lift shafts and main cores across 7 floors of the building. New precast T beam flooring was installed to allow greater floor space, with new stairs and lifts being installed externally. On completion of the soft strip works, a mobile crane was brought in to lift various 1.5 ton machines onto the roof to carry out plant room demolition. Whilst waiting for the installation of the tower crane and goods hoists, the lift shafts were utilised to clear hardcore material from the roof to the basement. Larger machinery on the basement and ground floors loaded material into roll on / off skips. Lancebox installed pre-fabricated temporary steel work from basement up to the rooftop, to 2 staircases and front elevation to support the floors during structural demolition. Diamond track and wire sawing works were carried out to separate floor joints and beams, to create a new ledge within the remaining structure to support the new precast floors. Demolition commenced with 4 teams of operatives working on each core section of works, alongside a team managing the waste clearance. There was also a specialized team carrying out window removal works using a specially designed system and technique which prevented the need for full building scaffolding. During the demolition works, the saw cutting and breaking out of the external ground floor slab was carried out in preparation of the new stair and lift cores.

I know Keith McCahon our project manager has enjoyed working with you on this challenging site and believes your support has managed to put us in a good position to bring this project to a successful conclusion for our client. Your supervisor and operatives were considerate, organised and work in a safe and productive manner. We are keen to build relationships with businesses such as yourselves.
