MJ Finnigan have recently completed the demolition and site remediation works at Wythenshawe FC as part of the £700,000 development in the grass roots club which has been funded through three different funding partners:
- Sport England Community Club Development Programme
- The Football Foundation
- Wythenshawe Town
MJ Finnigan completed the demolition of the existing clubhouse to make way for the proposed new construction which will house 4 changing rooms, with associated shower and toilet facilities, 2 referee’s rooms, a First Aid room, plus a storage area.
The site was also located in the heart of Wythenshawe which is the largest residential council estate in Europe thus arrangements were made to ensure that a co-ordinated approach was adopted to traffic management, segregation of the public from the demolition/construction areas and security arrangements.
This was done through close liaison with all parties involved including senior officials at the club. Careful consideration had to be given to the public and site operatives prior to commencement on site. The works were also carefully sequenced to avoid any risks during match days.
With all preparatory works in place the demolition began. The first stage of the demolition programme was soft stripping which was conducted by trained operatives A type three asbestos survey had been commissioned with no notifiable results however operatives remained vigilant throughout the works. There was a requirement to remove asbestos cement products to the roof structure and the boiler rooms which was done all in line with current legislative requirements.
Once all soft strip and asbestos had been removed from site the main structural demolition was completed by a 360 degree excavator fitted with a grab attachment.
MJ Finnigan is happy to report that the contract was completed on time and to full satisfaction of all parties involved.
