What is Demolition?

Demolition is the process of intentionally tearing down, dismantling, or destroying structures or buildings, typically to make way for new construction, redevelopment, or to remove unsafe or obsolete structures. It involves carefully planned and controlled actions to bring down a structure, ensuring the safety of workers, nearby structures, and the surrounding environment.

At Stringfellows Civil Engineering, we recognise that a successful start to any future construction project begins with a well-thought-out remediation program. Our demolition services are designed to create the optimal conditions for your next phase of construction.

Former Holly head bleachworks (1930) was a partial demolition and restoration project, including extensive groundworks package to enhance the 2 acre setting.

Based on a greenfield site, with a challenges such as contamination risks, access off tight country lanes and cited in a conservation area. The site was built on many culverts which were to be restored, originally servicing the old mill and lake. This was especially challenging given the heavy machinery needed on site and the lack of structural integrity beneath the ground.

Our goal was to carefully demolish sections of the mill whilst ensuring the main structure was kept in tact. Health and safety for this project was of the utmost priority at all times given the condition of the existing mill and the work required. With culverts running under the fragile building, this demanded care and precision.

Demolition – The demolition was carefully carried out by hand as all materials were to be reclaimed and minimum disruption to the building was required.
Screening – All excavations were processed through our screen to ensure the re use of aggregates and soils within site
Groundworks – within the groundworks package for this project were many buried materials relating to the original features of the mill & site. The client was keen to ensure that as much of this was reclaimed undamaged to be re used in the restoration.
Kerbs – There was over a mile of stone kerbs laid, some weighing up to 180kg each, creating great character to this fantastic project

Due to the site being a natural cirque, the surface water had to be carefully managed and large flow volumes redirected as the project ran through the winter months and with the High Peak being notoriously wet.

The results of this time consuming demolition / restoration, were very rewarding, as the finished results of this project and the use of original features really reaped the benefits with a now outstanding property and grounds.

Our client has a natural flair for projects of a similar style with attention to detail and high standards expected. The client was delighted with the results giving praise to our vigilance and finesse.
