4.4 A CAT detector will be used by the site supervisor to test for live
underground electric cables prior to any slabs / foundations being removed.
5 SAFETY
5.1 All necessary registers, accident books, diary, time book, test certificates,
method statement, risk assessment, health and safety plan etc will be kept
on site under the control of the Site Supervisor and can be inspected at any
time. All accidents are to be reported to and entered in the site accident
book.
5.2 A supply of spare hard hats, overalls, gloves, goggles, masks, welders
gloves, face visors (when burning equipment is used) etc will be stored on
Site.
5.3 At all times Staff of Encia Ltd will ensure a high standard of Health and
Safety is carried out at all times on site.
5.4 All operatives on site must wear full PPE in accordance with HSE
requirements including safety boots, hard hats and a high visibility vets or
coat and LEP (Light Eye Protection) as standard.
5.5 The Encia Ltd ‘no smoking on site’ policy will be adhered to at all times,
smoking will only take place in the site designated area.
5.7 The site will be audited on by an independent SHE Manager and such an
audit will be issued to the Clients Agent together with the Progress Report on
a fortnightly basis.
6.1 The buildings are situated within a secure site boundary made up of the
existing building walls and that of Palisade fencing.
6.2 Due to the fact that the demolition works are only partial we shall enclose
our individual working areas / exclusion zones within the site by use of heras
type fencing.
7 Encia Ltd
Demolition Method Statement Demolition of buildings at Ferodo Site
6.3 Warning signs (as described below) will be displayed at the appropriate
points around the perimeter of the site:
6.4 All visitors to our site will be asked to sign in within the site office. They will
be inducted into the activities being carried out that day and at all times
whilst they are on site they will wear the required PPE and they will also be
escorted by a member of Encia staff.
7.1 A Pre Demolition and Refurbishment asbestos survey will be produced and a
copy will be present with the Construction Phased Health and Safety Plan.
7.3 The HSE will be notified under the statutory ASB5 form on the Health and
Safety Executive website www.hse.gov.uk of the intended asbestos removals
that are to be executed on site and a copy of the notification will appear in
the Construction Phased Health and Safety Plan
7.4 All method statements, Risk assessments and transit plans will be included
within the CPHSP under Sub Contractor Method Statements and will form
part of the on site documentation. All method statements and plan of works
will be produced by Winsulate Limited following a further assessment of the
site
7.5 No follow on activities will be carried out until we have received air clearance
certificates/certificates of re-occupation from the asbestos removal
supervisor to confirm that the areas are safe to enter.
8.1 From areas which are free of asbestos, all electrical cabling will be removed
for recycling prior to soft stripping and the demolition of the structure.
8.2 No cable-stripping work will commence until the electrical supplies to the site
have been irreversibly isolated either to the main distribution board by the
local electricity supply company or from the main distribution board by a
suitably qualified electrician. In either case an isolation certificate will be
required and will be displayed within the site office.
8.3 Demolition operatives using hand tools will cut into manageable sections all
exposed electrical cabling and any which are easily extracted but which are
not exposed. Large diameter electrical cabling is heavy, therefore it may be
necessary to cut cabling into lengths of no more than 2 or 3 metres prior to
moving it for further processing. Operatives are to exercise their judgement
and experience when handling cut sections of cable to minimise the risks
associated with manual handling.

Demolition Method Statement Demolition of buildings at Ferodo Site
8.4 Cabling in trays or otherwise present above floor level will be accessed using
a scissor lift of a scaffold tower as appropriate. An exclusion zone will be
created beneath the cable being cut-down using barrier tape to avoid the
potential for anyone below the cable to be struck as it is allowed to fall to the
floor. Consideration must be given to the possibility of a free end “whipping”
due to self-weight.
8.5 Any circular saws used must be inspected daily and used only by trained
operatives. The use of hand operated, hydraulic cable shears is preferred.
9.1 An internal soft strip of the buildings will be carried out by demolition
operatives to remove as much of the waste materials from the building
ahead of the demolition works.
9.2 Materials that are to be removed by the internal soft strip can include doors,
door frames, fixed and non fixed furniture, carpets and floor coverings and
other materials which obstruct the construction of asbestos removal
enclosures.
9.3 Operatives will strip out all doors, frames, windows, timber of any
description, (not appertaining to roof or main structure) toilets, pipe work,
ducting, electrical items and any debris.
9.4 Any clean, unpainted constructional timber will be segregated from the
general waste. Where this material is free of nails, screws, hinges etc it will
be segregated for recycling by a specialist company. Any materials deemed
as not suitable for recycling will be removed from site in skips as controlled
waste to an appropriately licensed landfill site.
9.5 Where possible the materials will be loaded by hand method into skips and
removed from the site. Where access for skips is not available the materials
will be segregated and stored within the building where they will be removed
at a later stage.
9.6 Once access for skips is available the materials will be loaded into the skips
by use of the excavator and by hand method.
9.8 All soft stripped materials will be processed and segregated into individual
waste/recycling streams. All materials deemed suitable for recycling will be
9 Encia Ltd
Demolition Method Statement Demolition of buildings at Ferodo Site
loaded into suitable skips and transferred from the site to a suitable recycling
venue.
9.9 All waste materials unsuitable for recycling will be transported from the site
where it will be taken to landfill facilities.
10.1 Working at height will be restricted to a minimum, with the majority of high
level demolitions being carried out by mechanical means i.e. Demolition type
excavators / Plant fitted with controlled attachments such as mechanical
grapples, concrete breakers, concrete pulverisors and buckets.
10.2 The main area where working at height will be carried out will be to remove
the asbestos cement based corrugated roof and wall sheets that have been
deemed accessible. All non asbestos roof and wall sheets will be
removed by mechanical means.
10.3 Access to remove the asbestos cement roof and wall sheets will be carried
out as described in Section 11
10.4 The other work element where we may need to work at height will be to
carry out some pre-weakening on the Sand Plant installations.
10.5 Where access to work at height may be required access will be gained by use
of either Cherry Picker or Scissor Lift type Mobile Elevated Work Platform.
10.6 At this moment in time this element of work requires further investigation
and a full detailed method statement will be forwarded under a separate
cover prior to works commencing.
11.1 Some of the buildings on site have roofs and / or wall cladding comprising
asbestos cement sheets which will be removed as described below after the
building has been soft stripped but before the structural demolition work
commences.
11.2 The asbestos cement roof sheets will be removed from below using a tower
scaffold, scissor lift or cherry picker for access. Operatives working in the
scissor lifts or cherry pickers will be harnessed to the structure of the
machine.
11.3 Operatives will use hand held “pump sprays” to apply a fine mist of water to
the underside of the sheet to suppress dust. The “J” bolts which secure the
sheets will be bolt cropped. The sheets will be taken off whole and brought
down to ground level where they can be safely placed in a designated
asbestos waste skip.
11.4 Whilst the roof is being removed from the portion of the building which is
adjacent to the footpath, a banks man will be in attendance to monitor the
work and to make sure no members of the public get close to the work area.
11.5 Any broken asbestos pieces on the floor in various locations around the site
will be placed into clearly labelled asbestos bags, double bagged and
removed from site as special waste in skips.
10 Encia Ltd
Demolition Method Statement Demolition of buildings at Ferodo Site
11.6 Operatives undertaking all manual removal of asbestos sheets will wear P3
rated oral-nasal half facemasks, overalls and gloves. All asbestos sheets will
be removed to a licensed landfill site and waste transfer notes provided.
11.8 At the end of each shift all suits will be placed into a clear waste bag and
disposed of within the asbestos waste skip. Boots will be washed with clean
water and a rag before transiting through the site.
11.9 At times when we are carrying out works to remove the asbestos cement
based roofing sheets, we will arrange for an airborne analytical company to
attend site to carry out both background monitoring and that of personal air
monitoring. The findings of the airborne analysis will be retained on site
within the CPHSP
12.1 The majority of buildings on site are that of steel framed type structures,
with brick infill up to 4 metres in height and remainder clad in a
mixture of steel and asbestos cement based sheeting.
12.3 A pre demolition photographic survey will also be carried out of the office
block and a copy will be retained on site as part of the CPHSP.
12.1 Prior to any structural demolitions taking place, the site supervisor and plant
operatives will walk the building to confirm whether or not there are any
voids, basements present.
12.2 The site will be enclosed by use of heras type fencing and the extent of the
Encia controlled site will be marked on a plan and issued to Federal Mogul.
Warning signs will also be displayed on the site boundary in clear and visible
positions.
12.3 Should FM wish to gain access onto site then they must first report to the
Site Manager within the Encia site office. The site manager will then escort
the FM member of staff onto site and remain with him/her for the duration of
the visit.
11 Encia Ltd
Demolition Method Statement Demolition of buildings at Ferodo Site
12.3 The buildings that are to be demolished will be soft stripped as described in
Section 9 above.
12.4 All accessible asbestos cement based corrugated sheeting will also be
removed as identified in Section 11 above
12.5 The metal roof and wall cladded sheets will be removed by use of a
demolition excavator fitted with a grapple type attachment.
Photo shows demolition type excavator fitted with grapple type attachment.
12.6 The 45t excavator with grapple type attachment will de-sheet the entire
building perimeter, by grabble a hold of the sheeting at placing it on the floor
below. All such sheeting will then be re loaded mechanically into suitable
sized skips and transported from the site for disposal.
12.7 Once the building has been reduced to a steel frame, it will be systematically
cut down using the shears on the 45t excavator.
12.8 Each roof truss will be cut free of the head of one of the supporting columns
and lowered towards the ground; the other end of the roof truss will be free
of the head of the supporting column and lowered to the ground where, still
using the shears attachment on the 45t excavator, it will be further cut-down
to allow it to be placed into a 28m3 roro skip for subsequent removal from
site for recycling as scrap.
12.10 The process described in Paras 12.4 to 12.8 will be repeated until the
demolition of the building has been completed.
12.11 Once the demolition of the building has been completed and all waste, timber
and steel skips removed from the works area, the masonry etc will be
stockpiled within or adjacent to the footprint of the building for processing
(crushing) at a later date and the exclusion zone will be removed.
12.12 All steel will be removed from the site in suitable skips that will be
transported from the site for disposal.
12.13 Prior to commencement we will identify the disposal venues for all waste
materials arising from the demolitions.
12.14 Due to the location of the Directors Canteen, there is no current vehicular
access to this part of the site. To enable us to demolish this building and
12 Encia Ltd
Demolition Method Statement Demolition of buildings at Ferodo Site
place waste skips within the demolition zone, we will need to form a
temporary access road across the green fields either from the car park area
between Blocks N & M or the access point off Burrfields Road.
12.15 The temporary access road will be formed by first removing the top soil and
that of the sub road to the footprint of the propose road layout. Then a 6F2
type recycled material will be compacted in layers along the course of the
road to provide us with a suitable hard running surface. Where the access
road meets the directors canteen we will produce an extended turning cirle
to ensure that the delivery vehicles has sufficient space to manoeuvre and
go out the same route which they entered the site.
14.1 Ground floor slabs and foundations will be excavated to a depth of 1.5
metres by use of a demolition type excavator fitted with a selection of
attachments such as bucket, hydraulic hammer etc.
14.2 All slabs and foundations will be processed and reduced in size where they
will then be passed be passed through our on site crushing plant.
14.3 Any voids arising from the demolition excavations the sides will either be
battered back in a one in two, one in three ratio or smaller excavations will
be filled with site won materials
14.4 Crushing
14.5 Mobile crushing plant will be in use throughout the contract period and
located sensibly close to stockpiles of material to be processed. The
resulting crushed product will be stockpiled in an area to be agreed with the
Resident Engineer (RE). The equipment to be utilised shall be licensed by a
local authority. A water supply shall be connected to the dust suppression
apparatus of the crusher which shall be operational at all times during the
crushing. No crushing is to take place until the dust suppression system is
functioning.
14.6 The crushing plant will be fed by a 360º excavator. Oversize material will be
sized in the processing works and the remaining reinforcement will be
removed from the discharge conveyor by an overband magnet discharging
into a skip unit.
14.8 The following requirements will apply to the operation of the mobile crusher:
13 Encia Ltd
Demolition Method Statement Demolition of buildings at Ferodo Site
14.6 All crushed arisings will be stockpiled at agreed points within the site where
it will be used by the client at a later date
14.9 All maintenance work to the crusher or screen unit other than routine
lubrication via properly designed external connections will be undertaken
under lock-off conditions, i.e. the person undertaking the work will close
down and remove from the unit the isolator key. A sign stating
‘Maintenance Working Operation’ will be hung in a prominent position
adjacent to the key location. The isolator key will be carried by the
maintenance engineer or crusher operator whichever is undertaking the
work until the task is complete.
15.1 We presume that Federal Mogul currently hold an active license for the whole
site area permitting the discharge of surface water off site into the adjacent
surface water course. Within this license agreement we understand that
Federal Mogul have stipulated threshold levels for suspended solids etc and
daily water samples are taken for analysis to ensure the permit threshold
values for discharge are not exceeded.
15.2 There may also be the potential for hydrocarbon contaminated runoff
associated with potential hydraulic spills which can occur during demolition
activities.
15.3 Prior to the removal of the main foundry roof structure we are proposing to
implement the following measures to all drains surrounding the perimeter of
the foundry structure:
14 Encia Ltd
Demolition Method Statement Demolition of buildings at Ferodo Site
elevated levels off site. On a regular basis the accumulated sand around the
geotextile filtration system will be removed and the site surface swept clean.
The site drainage covers will be lifted on a regular basis to ensure the
filtration system is working effectively. The oil absorbent mats and the
geotextile within the drains will be replaced/ cleaned as required.
Encia Limited will liaise with Federal Mogul on a daily basis to ensure that the
discharge permit criteria are achieved. Should there be a significant
difference in the water quality currently being discharged once the
demolition works has commenced then we will review our control measures.
On the following page is the detail used to protect drainage gullies on the
Federal Mogul Foundry site in Lydney, Gloucester. It will be the same conrol
measures which we propose to utilise on this site.

15.4 The above ground hardcore and the concrete slabs grubbed up will be
processed and crushed to stockpile on site. This hardcore will be tested for
6F2 grading, chemically (full suite analysis) and asbestos screened at a
frequency of 1 per 500m3.
16.1 During the demolition works there will be the potential to uncover some
underground storage tanks. It is our understanding that all above and below
ground storage tanks would have been appropriately de-commissioned by
Federal Mogul prior to vacating the building, however, in the event we should
encounter any underground storage tanks we will immediately sample any
free product and then appoint our specialist contractor ‘J.W Hinchliffe
(Tanks) Limited’ to empty, clean and degass the vessel. The appointed
contractor will then issue Encia Limited with a Gas Free Certificate and a
Hazardous Waste Consignment Note for the waste removed from site.
