About the Project:
Removal of asbestos containing vapour barrierfrom pipework within riser at a College building.
Deconstructs services were utilised to remove an asbestos vapour barrier from pipework in advance of a mechanical services upgrade that formed part of a major refurbishment scheme at the College.
The pipework was located in a riser that ran from the ground floor through the 5 upper floors and terminated on the roof.
Enclosures were constructed around the riser at each level and existing access panels were utilised and widened where necessary to ensure that all areas of the riser could beaccessed and cleaned.
Project Challenges:
The work had to be completed to a strict deadline as the college had to ready for opening at the start of the new term.
Whilst services were isolated as faras possible, the potential for rogue circuits existed and our teams were fully briefed on this through a tool box talk.
The riser contained drainage and waste pipes that had leaked over the years.
It was necessary to clean the residual deposits off these pipes to ensure that no contamination was trapped therein.
Standing water was present in the bottom ofthe riser and this had to be cleared and disposed of by our operatives, as contaminated waste.
