COURAGE BREWERY - BRISTOL
Working in cooperation with Clarke Bond - Structural Engineers and our own retained temporary works engineers, we developed an extensive Method Statement and procedures document detailing all the proposed works on a major site in the middle of Bristol.
The project required the demolition of numerous brick and steel structured buildings that had formed the old George’s, subsequently Courage Brewery on the river adjacent to Bristol Bridge. The project included decontamination of numerous sumps and pits, removal of redundant brewing machinery and vessels, identification and removal of asbestos and demolition of buildings to ground level; retention of listed facades on the river frontage and soft strip listed Generator Building.
Bristol City Council employed Archaeologists to excavate the site over a period of about a year which impacted on the sequencing of the demolition. All underground structures were removed. Arisings from all the demolition were crushed on site and spread as a future piling mat. Subsequently, Squibb took on the piling contract.
