90 PREBENSON DRIVE, ONEKAWA, NAPIER

The Scope team have crossed the finish line in record time on a large asbestos and demolition project on Prebenson Drive, Napier. The project involved class A and B asbestos removal followed by the demolition of 10 industrial buildings.

Spanning over 5 weeks, our regional branches pulled together teams who worked diligently to tackle the asbestos works which varied in scale and complexity. The identified asbestos ranged from AIB & ACM wall linings, ACM cladding, super 6 roofing & cladding, mastics in expansion joints and putty in window surrounds, woven insulation, vinyl, switchboards and waterproofing membrane on sections of roofing. During the removal process, further asbestos was also identified and safely removed by our team.

During the asbestos removal, the site was targeted multiple times by thieves who were in search of copper. We proactively implemented a shift roster system, which involved splitting the team in 2 to have one team working the day shift and the other doing night. This system ensured a secure site and prevented any further theft attempts.

After receiving clearance of all buildings, the demolition flowed seamlessly and efficiently. Our demolition team implemented waste sorting practices, successfully salvaging concrete, scrap metal & native timber for recycling and diverting from landfill.

Many thanks to our local sub-contractors; Chubb Fire & Safety, Phoenix Contractors, NZLH, TW Electrical, TW Plumbing and TW Traffic Management.

From start to finish our team executed this project with efficiency and adaptability to overcome unique project challenges.
