Decommissioning and Demolition of the London Psychiatric Hospital

Prioritizing Safety, Environmental Stewardship,
and Historical Preservation

Project Overview
Delsan-A.I.M. successfully undertook the decommissioning and demolition of eight buildings at the London Psychiatric Hospital, covering an area of over 130,000 square feet. The project required meticulous planning to address hazardous materials and ensure sustainable practices while adhering to engineered safety guidelines and regulatory compliance.

Environmental and Safety Measures
The project involved the safe removal of asbestos-containing materials, PCBs, lead, and mercury-laden equipment. The demolition began with the careful removal of non-structural components, such as architectural finishes and mechanical systems, to optimize material separation for recycling and disposal.

Sustainable Material Reuse
Concrete debris was processed on-site, yielding approximately 36,000 tons of reusable material, which was reintegrated into the project site for client use. Other waste materials were transported to licensed recycling and disposal facilities, ensuring minimal environmental impact.

Preservation of Historical Structures
The contract included two historically significant buildings. The Barn underwent lead-paint abatement, preserving its historical integrity. Meanwhile, the Infirmary Building was partially demolished to remove unstable sections while maintaining the structural integrity of the remaining portions.

This project demonstrates Delsan-A.I.M.'s dedication to safety, environmental stewardship, and historical preservation in complex demolition projects.
