🚧 Enabling Site Redevelopment | Limewood, Leeds

Works are progressing well at Limewood, Leeds, where we’re delivering the demolition of a large former utilities site on behalf of AtkinsRéalis for nPower.

This multi‑stage project highlights our experience and capability in managing complex utilities demolition, combining careful planning, technical expertise and tight control to enable future redevelopment. The works include licensed asbestos removal, strip out and demolition activities, alongside managed retention and treatment of below‑ground structures.

A strong focus on efficiency and sustainability is embedded throughout the project, with demolition materials being crushed on site and reused where possible, reducing waste and supporting responsible construction practices.

Another example of how our teams deliver confidence, precision and progress on challenging sites!

Major Healthcare Redevelopment | University Hospitals of Derby and Burton NHS Foundation Trust 🏥

We’re pleased to share that we’ve recently completed demolition works at Queen’s Hospital, Burton, delivering a major package of regeneration works on behalf of Galliford Try as part of the ongoing Outwoods redevelopment project.

The scope included the demolition of multiple redundant structures across a live hospital environment, including the former Geoffrey Hodges Wing, boiler houses, garages, tanks, workshops, plant rooms and associated buildings. A key milestone was the safe and planned high‑reach demolition of a 28‑metre chimney stack, marking a significant step forward in preparing the site for future development.

All demolition arisings are being processed and crushed on site to 6F2 specification, supporting material reuse and helping to reduce vehicle movements and environmental impact ♻️.

Delivering works within a live healthcare setting requires careful planning and coordination. This project further demonstrates our ability to carry out complex demolition safely and efficiently, while minimising disruption to essential hospital operations.

A great team effort and an important contribution to the next phase of development at Queen’s Hospital!
