BUSINESS NEED
Scott Bader engaged Acorn for the task of executing asbestos surveys and testing, asbestos removal and coordinating demolition works for their Old Bulk Store building. Scott Bader wanted to create more extensive storage space and this required eliminating the outdated structure. This ambitious project, aimed at future-proofing the business, had to conform with the highest standards of regulation and safety.

THE BRIEF
How did we help?
Scott Bader’s vision to repurpose their Old Bulk Store into a significantly larger storage area presented a twofold challenge. It required not only the comprehensive removal of various forms of asbestos, both licensed and non-licensed, but also the subsequent demolition of a substantial building that housed these materials.
They needed independent asbestos consultancy that would overcome these challenges on their behalf. They needed a comprehensive solution that would efficiently address their asbestos related concerns, saving time, costs and lowering stress levels during the project.
Acorn offered Scott Bader an all-encompassing suite of asbestos consultancy services, managing every aspect of the project, from asbestos surveying and testing, to the asbestos removal and then the full demolition management. The undeniably complex project involved licensed asbestos removal of asbestos insulating board, non-licensed asbestos removal of cement roof sheets, wall sheets and gaskets, and concluding with the full demolition of the Old Bulk Store building.
Acorn, employing its vast experience and in-depth industry knowledge, partnered with a fully licensed asbestos removal contractor and demolition company to deliver the project. Every activity, ranging from carrying out detailed asbestos surveys, assessing potential risks, to planning and managing asbestos removal and disposal was delivered to the highest professional and safety standards.
