We employ a Health and Safety Advisor called John Deane who carries out Site Audits and Checks as well as advising us on key health and safety issues that may arise during our day to day work. John has over 20 years in the business and holds NEBOSH and CMIOSH qualifications.

Our Health and Safety Policy is prepared by the ‘Health and Safety People’ on a yearly basis. They carry out regular audits on our working methods and environments. We are in constant contact with them regarding new legislations which in turn is communicated to our staff.

Copies of our Health and Safety policy are available on request or available to download from our main website at www.randallcontracting.co.uk

Community LiaisonWith all projects we undertake ensuring we interact with the people affected by our work and for this purpose we assign our Community Liaison Officer to every project. This ensures we explain our working approach and take on board any concerns they may have and where practicable make provision for these in our work programmes.

Environmental Policy

Randall Contracting recognise that our operations have an effect on the local, regional and global environment. We ensure that all staff are trained in our environmental management policy and given guidance in its implementation

As a consequence of this, the management are committed to continuous improvements in environmental performance and the prevention of pollution.

Current environmental regulations, laws and codes of practice are regarded as setting the minimum standards of environmental performance

The safe and efficient disposal of waste material has always been a priority within the company. We dispose of all waste in a responsible manner, ensuring that we always comply with the duty of Care Regulations for contaminated and non-contaminated waste. (Licensing Authority: London Waste Regulation Authority No. GTL/365462) The Company always supplies full and complete documentation in compliance with the Duty of Care legislation. Any services used for the storage or disposal of waste will be checked to ensure that appropriate licences are held.

We try where possible, to use suppliers who are willing to take away packaging for re-use or recycling and consider the environmental impact of any purchases

We try to reduce the energy and water consumption of the business and minimise CO2 emissions. We invest in the improved energy efficiency of products we use and investigate environmentally safe and sustainable energy sources

All plant, machinery and lorries are regularly serviced by the company’s mechanics for safety and efficiency. High on our priorities is the restriction of both noise and air pollution. Vehicles and Plant are purchased with regard to the restriction of emissions.

The company has invested in specialised attachments for it’s plant thus

enabling demolition and excavation work to be carried out in such a way as to keep noise, vibration and dust to a minimum.We ensure that dust, noise and odour do not cause a nuisance to the community surrounding the place of business or site on which we are working.

Most of the company vehicles are run on diesel. We are aware of the problems caused by diesel particulates and new vehicles have fuel injection which reduces particulate emissions by up to 50%, however the clearest advantage of diesel vehicles is still their relatively high fuel efficiency and smaller contribution to global warming.

We try to reduce waste production and carry out re-use and recycling as much as possible and achieve 96% recycling of materials. Crushers have been introduced on many sites for this purpose.

We ensure that no polluting matter enters surface waters or groundwater, will obtain permission before discharging any contaminated water, and before commencing any works we will check the area for endangered species, protected plant species, trees subject to a Tree Preservation Order and protected archaeology

In the office environment, paper is used sensibly, with measures to re-use and recycle waste paper and increased use of electronic communication to reduce the need for paper use.

Office staff are encouraged to conserve energy by switching off lights and turning heating down in rooms not in use and making optimum use of natural light and task lighting.

We endeavour to use sub-contractors and suppliers who comply with the requirements of our environmental management policy and will help sub-contractors and suppliers to comply with environmental laws and regulations as much as possible

CASE STUDIES

Enabling redevelopment in the Construction Industry

Enabling Works

Great Guildford St, deconstruction of an occupied office buildingCategory - Enabling WorksClient - Workspace PLCValue - £350,000

This enabling project was for the redevelopment of mult-tenanted office building in London close to the Tate Gallery. The proposed building works were designed to add two additional floors and create a central courtyard with a cafe/bar for the tenants.

Randall Contracting were appointed to carry out the enabling works which included decommissioning and removing boilers from the basement, removal of lift shaft, removal of water tanks from roof, demolition of ground floor entrance and first floor offices.

Working in occupied officesThe building remained occupied whilst the work was carried out, therefore careful working programmes and methods were used to reduce the impact to tenants in order for them to carry out their day to day business. These included monoflex sheeting to reduce dust and visually shield the work.Designated noisy operations were restricted to set times during the day.

Randall Contracting specialise in this type of project and other works have included removal of lift shafts, basement excavations, stairways of offices in London and the South East.

Seymour Street, demolition of a West End HotelCategory - Enabling Client - Blenheim House ConstructionValue - £500,000

An old formerly listed building owned by Portland Estates in Mayfair. The building subsided when a new development was built adjoining it. Consequently the building had been propped internally and had been left empty.

Randall Contracting were awarded the project after Tendering for the work with the main contractors.

The site had a number of constraints on it which included restricted parking to the front and rear of building and designated noisy working times during the day.

Steel FrameBefore the building could be demolished a steel frame had to be constructed and fixed internally to support the building while demolition took place. Once this had been done the existing props had to be removed.

The building was stripped out first with original doors, skirtings, fire places put aside and stored to be used in the new build project.

DemolitionThe Demolition was carried out using hand tools and a small excavator where possible. A conveyor belt leading to a platform to the front of building was used to remove waste materials to waiting roll on roll off lorries. Deliveries and collections had to be programmed due to waiting time restrictions.

GroundworksRandall Contracting were also contracted to carry out the groundworks package for the new build.

Demolition of three residential homes Category - EnablingClient - Eastbourne HomesValue - £350,000

A demolition project for Eastbourne Homes in conjunction with Eastbourne Council. It consisted of three residential homes built in the 1970’s which were to make way for new Social Housing.

The homes were all located in a highly populated residential area of Eastbourne.

Community LiaisonEstablishing close links with the community was very important before the work. There were a number of private homes were very close to the site and a number of schools. Our Community Liaison Officer ensured that all schools and residents were informed about the nature of the works and given the opportunity to express any concerns. This meant that clear lines of communications were established throughout the project.

Asbestos RemovalAll the properties contained Asbestos in varying degrees so Randall Contracting used the services of a local licensed Asbestos removal company to carry out this work in stages before the demolition work.

Phasing of WorkEach home was demolished in sequence using grapples and munchers including the slab and foundations. All materials were sorted and 96% of materials were removed for recycling to local waste disposal centres.

Wordsworth Avenue, demolition of a Community CentreCategory - EnablingClient - London Borough of NewhamValue - £50,000

Randall Contracting have worked with a number of local authorities including the London Borough of Newham for many years on a variety of demolition projects.

Redevelopment in NewhamThe London Borough of Newham is committed to providing more social housing for its growing diverse population. In order to do this the Council is redeveloping many sites throughout the Borough.

One of these sites was Wordsworth Avenue Community Centre in East Ham. Randall Contracting were awarded the contract as an approved supplier of the Council.

DemolitionThe centre was of brick construction with a considerable amount of rebar strengthening contained within it. Being in a residential area Randall Contracting had to ensure that the local residents were consulted before work was carried out. Provision was put in for noise monitoring and dust prevention.

Because of its construction the demolition was carried out using a ‘cracker attachment’ which was ideal for cutting through the rebar with ease.

All materials were removed and 96% of materials were recycled.

Exhumation WorksRandall Contracting have worked on a number of exhumation projects in conjunction with a leading funeral director based in East London.

This specialist work has including removing human remains from various sites earmarked for redevelopment. These sites are usually where a temporary development, car park or playground has been constructed over the site. In some cases it is where a Church is trying to raise additional funding by selling off land.

Archeological SupervisionThe remains are found in various conditions and full archeological supervision is required on all projects. All sites are hoarded and 24 hour security is put in place. Work is carried out professionally and sympathetically.

Arrangements can be made for a priest to attend sites before any work commences and on re internment to give a brief service or blessing if required.

Building of CrossrailWith the building of the Crossrail rail link a large number of human remains have been discovered in Central London because of the deep excavation work required on the project. Working with the main contractor Randall Contracting have carried out the exhumation work consistently for the last couple of years.

Demolition of School buildingCategory - Enabling WorksClient - Barking and Dagenham CouncilValue - £45,000

Randall Contracting work with a number of Local Authorities and some of the work is with local Schools and Colleges.

This project was for the demolition of an old gym which had a roof made of asbestos sheeting and contained some internal asbestos.

The School backed on to residential properties. Dust screens and sprays were used to protect the surrounding properties from dust. The work was carried out in School Holiday time.

We appointed a licensed asbestos removal company to carry out removal of the asbestos.

The building was demolished using grapples. All materials were sorted on site for recycling and removed to local recycling centres.

Demolition work in Epping High Street, Essex Category - Enabling WorksClient - StaceValue - £100,000

This demolition project involved a mixture of buildings located in the main high street of Epping in Essex. The main building was once a listed building. The buildings stretched back from the high street and included a 1960’s brick built building with a flat roof.

Next to the site was a busy public house so it was essential that the day to day life of the pub was not disturbed. Scaffolding was erected to protect the building and garden area. A noisy work programme was put in place to ensure there was minimum amount of disturbance.

Dust sprays were used and noise monitored.

There was a mixture of services to this building including cabling to adjoining properties running through the property. Close liaison with the services providers was essential.

Grapples and munchers were used for the older part of the property and breakers, shears and crackers used on the newer part of the building.

Demolition of the Kingsbridge Care Home Category - EnablingClient - London Borough of Barking and DagenhamValue - £100,000

The Kingsbridge residential care home in Barking had become redundant and the local borough decided to demolish it and redevelop the site. The site was in a built up residential area and our experience in working at constrained sites was a major factor in us winning the work.

Because of the closeness of residents to the site there was concern from both the council and residents about dust pollution. To counteract this a water spray system was introduced to minimise the dust levels. Close liaison was also kept with the local residents by our Community Liaison Officer.

Whilst carrying out the work a foul water pipe was uncovered that was not marked on the services drawings. Our experience with groundworks and drainage projects meant that we could carry out a temporary repair until the Council could make a full repair.

328 Barking Road, demolition of temporary building and remediation workCategory - EnablingClient - London Borough of NewhamValue - £240,000

A two storey temporary office complex had been built on the site of a substantial Victorian Methodist Church. The site was close to residential and commercial properties.

The contract was in two phases, firstly the demolition and clearance of the office block which included Asbestos removal and the diversion of services. The demolition work was carried out using a hydraulic sorting grapple, this allowed safe and efficient segregation of the various structural materials for recycling.

On site re-use of materialsThe second phase was the enabling works to remove the foundations of the old Methodist Church. It was found that the entire Victorian substructure was in place and that it would take between 450-500 lorry movements to remove the waste from site.

Randall Contracting advised the client that a cheaper and more environmentally friendly solution would be to instal on site recycling. This was done and substantial savings were made for the client.

Exmouth House, enabling project for redevelopment of an office blockCategory - Enabling WorksClient - Workspace PLCValue - £200,000

This enabling project involved the removal of a central staircase to facilitate a new lift shaft and conversion of a basement into a bike store with shower facilities.

Working in occupied officesThe building remained occupied whilst the work was carried out, therefore careful working programmes and methods were used to reduce the impact to tenants in order for them to carry out their day to day business. Designated noisy operations were restricted to set times during the day.

Randall Contracting specialise in this type of project and other works have included removal of lift shafts, basement excavations and stairways in London and the South East.

Charles House, refurbishment of factory units

Category - EnablingClient - Workspace PLCValue - £250,000

Randall Contracting have worked with Workspace PLC for a number of years. Workspace refurbish large existing industrial units by stripping them out and then dividing into small units. These units are rented out on short rentals at low cost.

One of these projects was Charles House in Southall and Randall wereasked to complete a second phase of units having previously worked on the first phase in 2010.

The building was stripped out and then divided into separate units by building constructing dividing walls, fixing pre fabricated steel frames to create a mezzanine floor and stairway.

Randall Contracting was the main Contractor and coordinated the steel, electrical and brick work. The redecoration work was carried out by our own workforce.

Category - EnablingClient - C&S Builders MerchantValue - £500,000

Hard Landscaping

Lambeth High Street Recreation Ground, redevelopment of ParkCategory - Hard LandscapingClient - Lambeth CouncilValue - £200,000

Lambeth High Street Recreation Ground is an Historic Park in central London. The park is a central part of the local community life. Over recent years the park had become subject to anti social behaviour and local residents began to use the park less and less.

The local residents were instrumental in obtaining funding for its redevelopment and Landscape Architect Adam Thomas was appointed to redesign the park. The designs were accepted and then due to government cut backs the project was put on hold.

At the beginning of 2013 the go ahead was finally given and the project was Tendered by Lambeth Council.

Randall Contracting were successful in winning the Tender and the emphasis to work with local residents and keep the park open was very important.

The redevelopment work included:• A new main entrance with bespoke designed gates• Resurfacing work to all footpaths• Demolition of existing water feature and re-use of materials to create Landscaped mounds at back of park• New designed replacement water feature• Redevelopment of Play Area• Planting of new trees and shrubs• New Seating • Gabion Walls filled with reused materials

Working with the local residents Randall Contracting sponsored an opening event which was attended by Kate Hoey MP. It was a great success.

Category - LandscapingClient - Enfield CouncilValue - £50,000

A lottery funded Community project through Enfield Council on an area of waste land in Edmonton, North London.

The project was designed by Landscape Architect Rachel Moody. The concept was to create a community area where children could come and study wildlife which will be allowed to flourish by allowing it to grow wild. There was already a pond area which was home to dragonflies and butterflies.

Work included construction of:• Stile access• Fencing• Pathway Construction• Bird Hide• Planters• Picnic Area• Pergola

Tile Kiln Lane Community Area construction

Ivybridge, play area refurbishmentCategory - Hard LandscapingClient - Hounslow HomesValue - £45,000

Randall Contracting working closely with a well known landscape architect were approached to do this project. The Ivybridge Estate is in Twickenham and has a very active tenants association. The residents wanted to improve the facilities at their existing play area by making it appealing to both parents and children. They only had a limited budget and working in close partnership with the architect Randall Contracting were able to provide a solution which met the budget.

The playground had an existing slide which was kept. A climbing frame with a swing was introduced along with play boulders in two locations. A raised seating area was created with planting areas. This allows the parents to supervise their children in pleasant surroundings.

The budget did not allow for re turfing and therefore the site was kept fenced off to allow grass seed to establish itself prior to an opening ceremony in March 2012.

This is one of many types of Play Area schemes that Randall have worked on including creating multi-play areas.

West Ham Park, installation of disabled slide

Category - Hard LandscapingClient - City of LondonValue - £50,000

West Ham Park which is run by the City of London and has a large Children’s Play Area. The playground caters for children with disabilities and has various play equipment for the disabled. The City of London decided to commission an architect to design a scheme for a disabled slide.

Randall Contracting were selected for the work because of similar schemes that we have worked on.

The work consisted of creating a 2m high mound from and constructing a gradual winding pathway for wheel chairs leading to the top of the slide.Steps were also constructed for children without disability.

The pathway was finished with cobbles and sureset surfacing. The mound was original turfed but the architect changed this to synthetic grass. The reason being that the children using the slide also like to run up and down the mound.

Drainage and landscaping project for house redevelopmentCategory - Hard LandscapingValue: - £110,000Client - Brickcrest

A New build house project by a Property Developer in Chiswick West London involved external groundworks and landscaping of this prestigious new development.

Work included fencing, pathway, drainage, lighting and soft landscaping.

Maintenance work at Winsor School BecktonCategory - Maintenance/Hard LandscapingClient - London Borough of Newham

Winsor School Beckton is one of numerous schools that Randall Contracting have worked for in our work with the local authorities that we work for.

The ground that the school is built on is constantly moving having been built on old landfill site. This has resulted in the paved areas of the school moving and some of the drains cracking.

Randall Contracting were brought in and carried out resurfacing work to the playground and car parking areas including relining, block paving repairs and new drainage.

The work is ongoing here and Randall Contracting carry out repair work on a regular basis.

Battersea Dogs and Cats Home staff car parking and landscapingCategory - Hard LandscapingClient - Battersea Dogs and Cats HomeValue - £1,200,000

Randall began a long-standing relationship with Battersea Dogs and Cats Home with the redevelopment of the old car park and exercise pens. Our brief was to produce a secure and pleasing operational and recreational area for the staff and the dogs. The works incorporated 10,000 sq m of new concrete surfacing, new drainage, lighting and bespoke dog pens.

The site had formerly been railway sidings and the underlying sub-base was particularly good. Because of this considerable savings were achieved for the client by reusing the track ballast as sub base for new slabs.

Randall Contracting had contractor’s design responsibilty on the contract for the design of the dog pens and steel framed facias on protected railway arches.

We exceeded all of the Client’s deliverables including 96% recycling on site, minimization of noise and timing of lorry movements so as not to disturb the daily life of the home.

Because of the good work we were asked back to deliver an enabling package for the new cat facility which was opened by Camilla Parker Bowles.

Citigen who are part of E.on have a Powerstation at Farringdon and this provides hot steam a network of pipes to office buildings which run underground throughout the City of London. From time to time these pipes leak due to ground movement. Randall Contracting were asked to take over from another contractor to locate a leak in the pipes feeding a large office building in Silk St EC2.

The work involved excavating a hole to a depth of 6 metres and could only be carried out at certain times of the day so as not to disturb the adjoining buildings.

Operatives trained in confined spaces were required and the majority of the work was carried out using hand tools because of services which ran across the site. Added to this an old Victorian drain was located which ran near to the damaged pipes.

The leak was found and repair work carried out. This type of work is ongoing.
