Project Overview:
Spectra was contracted to remove asbestos insulation board (AIB) from the retail, warehouse, and back-of-house areas of a busy Co-Op store undergoing full refurbishment. The project demanded a rapid turnaround and required close collaboration with the main contractor to ensure the refurbishment advanced smoothly and on schedule.
Approach & Delivery:
Removal activities were carried out under strict controls across the shop floor, warehouse, and bakery zones. Our licensed team employed a spray-and-remove technique to limit fibre release and keep the workspace safe. Through careful planning, well-designed enclosures, and ongoing air monitoring, we achieved full compliance with all regulatory requirements. Due to the tight schedule, clear communication and adaptability were crucial. Spectra collaborated closely with the main contractor to coordinate tasks effectively, ensuring that later trades could access cleared areas without delays.
Outcome:
The project was finished within the two-week deadline, resulting in a tidy, safe, and snag-free space prepared for the store’s refit programme. Smooth coordination between Spectra and the overall project team reduced disruptions and maintained the client’s rigorous operational and safety standards.
