Client: London Heathrow Airport
Project: The Old Control Tower, London Heathrow Airport
Business: Ensuring the safety of people at London Heathrow Airport
Case Study: London Heathrow Airport
Silverdell UK first became involved in the works in 2011 when appointed by BAA’s main contractor, Mansell Construction Services, to undertake a small project to remove various known non-notifiable and notifiable asbestos bearing materials from three floors of the south and west wings of the old control tower buildings.
During the programmed asbestos removal works in the south wing Silverdell discovered additional asbestos materials that required immediate action. BAA has a firm ’sustainability commitment’ to ensure that Heathrow is “a safe, healthy and secure airport for staff and passengers” and when notified of Silverdell’s discoveries the BAA project team, Mansell and Silverdell immediately set about developing a swift and safe plan of action to reduce their effect on the ensuing demolition works.
