Gwella Contracting recently completed asbestos removal and a full environmental clean within an MOD hangar on behalf of our key client, VINCI Defence.

Our exeprienced team carried out a full clean of high-level steels, ledges, sills, and window surrounds to enable the next phase of window removal and refurbishment. Flaking paint near the windows was also carefully removed.

The works were primarily Non-Licensed within the main hangar, along with a Licensed element  of removal working from a cleverly designed fixed scaffold platfom.

The main challenge of this demanding project was our client’s tight deadlines.
With thorough planning and collaboration with the client, along with expert project management and on-site deliverables, Gwella was able to demonstrate our expertise in delivering complex asbestos and environmental works to the highest safety and quality standards within sensitive MOD establishments.

“From initial contact through to completion, the team at Gwella have worked seamlessly with VINCI and our client to deliver the project to the very prescribed and tight timelines. Delivering on time and to the high standard expected, the handover of the Hangar to the incumbent unit allowed a return to full operating capacity and kept the unit at its required readiness state to its 1* Headquarters and received thanks from the Unit and Brigade Commanders. Our thanks and Gratitude to the dedicated People at Gwella.”
