Asbestos removal in Doncaster - Queensgate, Waterdale shops regeneration project

Work has begun on the redevelopment of the shops in the Waterdale shopping centre in Doncaster, and we have been instructed by the demolition firm GBM to remove all asbestos containing materials within the buildings prior to them knocking down the buildings.

The asbestos is located in various units that were previously shops, and the works will be phased in multiple buildings across the site. At this point, E4 Environmental have removed bitumen floor tiles, asbestos insulation board fire breaks, AIB flue pipe boxing fibreboard ceiling tiles, and various debris across multiple shop units.

We are working alongside the demolition company employees on site whilst they remove all non-asbestos materials to complete their ‘soft-strip’, so our team have been liaising with them throughout the process to ensure the schedule is kept to.
