QPR Training Ground

The training ground complex consisted of various existing buildings (built between 1955-1986), sports facilities, fields and public walkways. Some buildings were 2-storeys high with foundations that in some cases, the full extents were unknown. There were neighbouring live businesses, residences, schools, public accessways, protected trees and drains which placed various restrictions on how works were undertaken. Each phase comprised of sequential/phased demolition supported by bespoke temporary works systems. The location within a very busy industrial area had implied various restrictions on deliveries, noise, working hours, interface with the general public and muck-away.

• In-House Design, Installing and Maintaining Temporary Works systems to support the demolition.
• Soft Strip, Roof Removal, Main Structure demo and removal of foundations.
• Use of Arboricultural specialists and advisors to cut and/remove trees and vegetation.
• Controlled and Notifiable Asbestos removal to various buildings following an intensive R& D survey for buildings built before 2000.
• Use of bespoke Complex Reach and Selector Grab plant.
• Onsite testing of all as-dug materials for contamination in line with RMS.
• Crushing of onsite generated materials and testing for re-use thereby reducing offsite spoil to waste.

• Dynamic Temporary works solution that evolved to cope with existing and unknown conditions associated with old buildings.
• Design and Use of Structural steelwork system to act as a composite demolition frame.
• Testing, Onsite Treatment and Decontamination of hazardous soils and materials including ACM.
• Structural monitoring of existing buildings.
• Use of dynamic in-house designed App to monitor all waste streams, CO₂ Footprinting, imported materials and energy usage.
