    You have answered the your own question!

    Two separate contracts with two separate contractors.

    It is all one contract. We were offered to tender for the project but due to the remediation & Tesco's it was too large a project for us to undertake with the other projects we have on site at a similar time.

    Barr construction are doing all the work, or shud I say were awarded both the stadium and the tesco. The shop I reckon will be open first. It may well be run as 2 separate schemes internally for Barr onsite to make life easier as there are 2 paymasters.

    The tender was for 1. the whole site, the tender was then divided into 3 parts, stadium, Tesco, ground work.
    The ground work has been sub contracted out, two seperate contracts have been submitted to the council, one for Tesco and one for the stadium.
    The Council also hope the their in house building control have won the race to boss the site.

    Makes sense for council wanting the inspections but could they realistically do it as it would be permanent onsite and weekends etc. Not current 35 hour week they do. Non paid overtime but accrued hours in lieu. Unless they've changed how they work then I cannot see it working.

    Two massive diggers arrived on site yesterday. Regarding JKP, he had a contract for ten years which is up this year, but he has extended it for another 3years I think. That warehouse, formerly known as no. 10 in it's UG days, as always been owned by somebody else. Even UG used to rent it

    Considering that building control know everything about the site and plans, it would be a bit daft not to give them the job, but it has to go out to tender, the private sector have to be considered, its now the law.

    10.45 am, demolition started, two very large JCB's have started to rip the sides of the warehouses out.
    Also more machinery has arrived, looks like ground work could be starting in tandem with the demolition.

    Loads of blokes in white boiler suits knocking about, you cant see much, they are working along the back of the warehouses, doing a lot of hosing down.

    the water solution attaches to the asbestos dust making it fall to the ground instead of go into the air, there will be a quite abit of this going on no doubt.

    not much point in putting water on asbestos as it is water proof, one of the best building materials ever mined the only down side, it is a killer.

    putting water on it makes it heavier so it doesnt float off. Keeping the asbestos contained

    Asbestos sheeting should give em no trouble.


    The following simple safety precautions will enable you to safely remove this asbestos-cement
    from sheds and garages.
    Protective Clothing and Mask must be worn.
    1. Keep everyone else away from the work. You don’t want children around when you
    are knocking down a garage or shed. A suitable FFP3 dust mask must be worn. Do not go
    onto the roof unless you use crawling boards or roof ladders. Asbestos- cement is brittle
    and you may fall through. It also becomes very slippery when wet - another reason to use
    a roof ladder.
    2. Use a hose to get the asbestos-cement really wet - both inside and outside. Do not brush
    or scrape moss, lichen or algae growing on the roof sheets; doing so may release asbestos
    fibres.
    3. You must be careful with any silt in the bottom of gutters. Remember - this has come
    from the asbestos-cement roof and will probably contain a high percentage of free
    asbestos fibre. Get it wet and then scrape it into a strong plastic bag. Seal it and dispose
    of with the waste asbestos-cement.
    4. You can then unbolt or unscrew the asbestos-cement sheets. It may be necessary to
    hacksaw through fittings or drill away screw or nail heads, this should be done only if
    absolutely necessary. Sheets can then be removed while unnecessary breakage of the
    material must be avoided. If breakage occurs, any small pieces must be damped down,
    picked up and double bagged in heavy duty polythene bags for later collection and
    MARKED Asbestos.
    5. Whilst the breaking of asbestos-cement panels and sheets should be avoided, if it is
    essential then panels or sheets should be saturated with water, and broken carefully.
    Panels or sheets should not be cut with hand tools, especially power tools.
    6. Keep the area clear of pieces of broken asbestos-cement. Under no circumstances must
    It should be noted that in most cases only asbestos cement products can be removed
    without the use of specialist asbestos removal contractors. Your main problem will
    be disposing of the waste asbestos-cement sheeting. It would be a good idea to sort
    this out before you start work. See notes on the rear of this page.
    they be crushed underfoot. Wash down the area when you have finished. Wash yourself
    thoroughly on completion of the job or before eating or drinking.
    Removal of asbestos-cement from sheds or garages will give no risk to health from the release of
    asbestos fibres providing the above instructions are followed.
