Disposing of surplus modular buildings sustainably
Published: 09 February, 2010
Foremans, recently completed a project for Slough Borough Council. Working over a weekend and to a tight programme to avoid disruption to the Town Hall offices, Foremans removed a 17-module Portakabin buildings from the site in the centre of Slough.
Commenting on the project, Jamila Ibrahim, Moves Co-ordinator at Slough Borough Council, said, “The introduction of new ways of working, has freed up space within the main Council office building, which meant this modular building became surplus to our requirements.”
The building will now be fully refurbished and could be used for a range of temporary or permanent applications – such as teaching blocks.
The recycling and refurbishment of modular buildings is now recognised as one of the most sustainable methods of construction – reducing the volume of waste sent to landfill.
Foremans will undertake a full site survey and evaluation free of charge anywhere in the UK, and will remove each building to an agreed programme and with the minimum disruption in compliance with all health and safety, and CDM regulations.
