Project: Forecourt decommissioning
Client: Chorus Group

This is a recently completed project decommissioning the forecourt service station located to the rear of Selfridge’s department store in central London. The contract involved the complex removal of the forecourt canopy and under ground fuel storage tanks which were located in a concrete tank room within the Selfridges basement/car park. The concrete slab over the tank room was carefully dismantled by piece mill and lowered onto an erected crash deck installed to specification. The basement walls were then carefully removed to allow the vessels to be cleaned, degassed and removed. Prior to the removal of the concrete a series of exploratory core holes and diamond drilling took place to ensure the concrete tank surrounds were removed and executed to plan, whilst protecting the integrity of the building. Health and safety was of paramount importance on this project.
