Former Sherwin Williams Paint Factory Redevelopment: Comprehensive Asbestos Removal and Site Deconstruction
Project Overview
The redevelopment of the former Sherwin Williams Paint Factory, located in Avondale, involved a substantial project that included the removal of asbestos cladding from a warehouse, decommissioning of tanks, and the full deconstruction of the steel structure. Nikau was entrusted with this complex undertaking, providing tailored economic and sustainable solutions to meet the client's specific needs and timelines.
Nikau’s Project Approach and Solutions
Nikau’s approach to this project was centered around effective management and sustainability. Our team executed a range of critical tasks, including:
-
Asbestos Removal: Prior to demolishing the steel structure, the asbestos Super 6 sheeting was safely removed. This was a crucial step to ensure a safe demolition environment.
-
Decommissioning of Paints and Oils: All paints and oils in the tanks were carefully decommissioned before demolition commenced, adhering to environmental and safety regulations.
-
Full Soft Strip: Comprehensive removal of all plant and equipment within the structure, preparing the site for further work.
-
Sediment and Erosion Controls: Installation of extensive sediment and erosion controls across the site to manage runoff and protect the surrounding environment.
-
Salvage and Reuse of Timbers: Recovery of significant quantities of both native and exotic timbers for potential reuse, contributing to resource conservation and sustainability.
-
Demolition and Recycling: Complete demolition of all structures, slabs, and foundations, with over 2,000 tonnes of concrete recycled. Additionally, over 1,000 tonnes of steel were salvaged and recycled, further supporting environmental sustainability.
