Skipton House
Description
A direct appointment from the client, O’Keefe were tasked to de-risk and de-rate the current building, which is a seven storey commercial use building with a single extended basement.
The site was previously vacated by NHS administration.
Our first task was to safely disconnect and drain down the services. Once safely disconnected we could begin the task of removing electrical services, non-structural elements and all remaining soft furnishing, this included significant amounts of plasterboard and MEP services.
Access was only available from the rear of the building and required an electronic booking system to ensure no disturbance was caused to the surrounding roads. A full time traffic marshal was required to assist with access and egress. This was especially required as we methodically removed waste from the building.
All inert waste from the site was recycled.
