Scope Demolition was contracted by the site developers to demolish Rangiora Fire Station, its associated structures and hard surfaces. Notable to this demolition was the presence of asbestos which was removed by our asbestos removal team prior to the hard demolition of the building. More asbestos was subsequently found, which involved the delicate hand removal of all windows and surrounding block work. All contaminated material was removed and disposed of under current MBIE regulations and the site decleared clear of all asbestos enabling the successful completion of the project.

Scope Demolition was contracted by the owner of the property to demolish their three storey, split level dwelling due to damage caused by the earthquakes. The steepness of the slope and difficult site access meant that the demolition had to be done in a controlled fashion using two 20T excavators. The dwelling, all hard surfaces and associated structures including retaining walls were removed to allow the site to be developed for a new house.

Scope Demolition was contracted by Christchurch City Council to demolish a three story social housing block in the Christchurch City Centre. Due to the damage caused by the earthquakes, the building had to be strengthened using shipping containers to allow internal access. This was all done in partnership with Engineers and Christchurch City Council.

The duration of the project was approximately three months from the first day onsite to completion. As with all projects, safety was a major factor on this job in particular due to the neighbouring social housing properties and their residents. Safety was managed closely with close attention paid to the movement of machinery and the constant flow of trucks in and out of the site. The project was completed ahead of schedule and within budget to the satisfaction of the client.
