Trant Engineering, recently engaged our in-house training team to carry out bespoke contract specific, specialist training seminars on site. Based in the Falkland Islands, Trant Engineering are in the process of constructing a new power station on the islands. The project involves the demolition of the old station, which contains asbestos products such as CAF Gaskets and Bitumen. These products were required to be removed safely prior to the demolition phase of the works commencing.

Employees were trained in the correct use of PPE & RPE, Control Measures, Removal Techniques, Waste Disposal, Personal Decontamination and Emergency Procedures. In addition to this, Mental Health and Wellbeing awareness training was given over the 3 day period. Approximately 40 employees in total were trained over the 3 days.

Our training team can carry out bespoke seminars at your location. Please contact the team on training@shieldservicesgroup.com.

Following further investigations at the pre-planning stage, circa 1,800m2 of Asbestos Insulating Board (AIB) panels were also identified, in the rear frame housing of the façade, forming part of the original fabric of the building. This was also included as a part of Shield’s scope of removal.

The project ran from July 2021 through to December 2023.
