BUSINESS NEED
How do we help Interserve?
Interserve have been instrumental in a joint venture to build seven new schools as part of the government’s Priority School Building Programme. The project was to be undertaken to design and build seven secondary schools across Hertfordshire, Luton and Reading. A major part of the project has been to demolish the former school buildings once the new schools were constructed and in use. Prior to demolition, Interserve require the services of an asbestos consultancy to survey each site and ensure the identification and removal of asbestos containing materials (ACMs).
