Asbestos Removal and a New Roof for Independent Twine Manufacturing

HSFM’s specialist team where tasked with the safe removal of 5000m² of an asbestos cement roof and 1000m² of asbestos cement wall sheets. Replacing the old and unsafe roof with a new twin-skin trapezoidal system with all associated flashings, RWPs & RWOs. GRP Skylights were also installed, allowing additional natural light to enter the building.

Working closely with ITM, we were able to ensure that the process was conducted to meet and exceed required standards, whilst minimising disruption of a busy 24/7 manufacturing factory.

To ensure our teams worked safely at height, the entire building was safety netted and scaffolded to act as a fall arrest system. Groundworks and full site clearances were undertaken by HSFM prior to the work starting on site, allowing our specialist team to have full 360 access around the factory.

During the work taking place, there was an unexpected spot visit from HSE which was signed off by one of their head officers. Following the visit, we were informed that our team had gone above and beyond to meet health and safety regulations whilst working at height and with asbestos.
