Wellington Girls College

The head contractor at the Wellington Girls College site handed ARC Asbestos the contract to complete asbestos removal after they realised ARC Asbestos had the skills, workforce and machinery to complete the works far more efficiently. This would enable the wider programme of works to progress on or ahead of schedule

Thomas Bishop, as Contract Manager, worked closely with the client to schedule works around their requirements. He led the resourcing of the project, bringing in a large team of over 10 personnel (all in-house, no sub-contractors were required) to expedite delivery. Innovative grinding equipment and processes ensured a high quality finish. The project was completed well ahead of ahead of schedule, to the client’s immense satisfaction

All asbestos had to be removed as efficiently as possible to enable the head contractor to bring in the crane and begin the building demolition. The tight timeframe posed a significant challenge with noise restrictions and restrictions on works during exam times and school hours. By bringing in our specialist-heavy team and task specific machinery, and dedicating a large pool of resource while working long hours we were able to reduce the programme from the 10 weeks expected by the previous contractor, to just eight days.
