Licensed Asbestos Thermal Insulation Removal | The Glass House, London
Overview
MD Environmental returned to The Glass House in Central London to deliver the next phase of licensed asbestos removal works within this prestigious commercial building.
The project involved the removal of asbestos thermal insulation from pipework located within multiple risers and service areas across several floors. As the building remained occupied throughout the programme, every stage of the works required meticulous planning, specialist containment systems and close coordination with the client and other contractors.
The Challenge
Working within a busy, occupied commercial building presented several logistical and operational challenges.
The asbestos thermal insulation was located within multiple risers throughout the property, requiring a phased approach to allow other refurbishment activities to continue safely. Maintaining segregation between occupied areas and licensed asbestos work zones was essential, while ensuring disruption to building occupants and neighbouring trades was kept to an absolute minimum.
Each phase required bespoke enclosure construction, decontamination facilities and continuous communication between all project stakeholders.
Our Solution
MD Environmental designed and installed fully compliant licensed asbestos enclosures complete with negative pressure units, bag locks, viewing panels and decontamination units before removal works commenced.
Our experienced team worked methodically through each riser, removing asbestos thermal insulation under strictly controlled conditions while maintaining safe access for other contractors working within the building.
Careful planning, daily coordination meetings and phased working ensured the project progressed efficiently without compromising safety or programme requirements.
The Result
The next phase of asbestos removal was successfully delivered while maintaining full compliance with current asbestos legislation and industry best practice.
Through detailed planning and close collaboration with the client and wider project team, works continued safely within this live commercial environment with minimal disruption.
The project also reflects the confidence our clients place in MD Environmental, with repeat business demonstrating our consistent delivery, professionalism and high standards across complex asbestos remediation projects.
