Welcome
Welcome to Demolish and Dismantle, the website for C&D Consultancy one of the UK’s leading consultancies in the art of demolition engineering. Demolition has been around since at least 1451BC when the walls of Jericho came tumbling down by the use of controlled demolition by animal horns!
Things have moved on a little since then as the demolition industry now carries out controlled demolition and dismantling by many means, including explosives, high reach machines, robotics, microwave and laser techniques on all types of structures.
C&D Consultancy are involved, as advisers, with the demolition of many structures and buildings throughout Europe and we have a great deal of experience within the team on demolition projects of all types.
We have, over the last few years, been involved as demolition consultants, CDM co-ordinators, or demolition advisers on well over 400 projects ranging from 30 storey tower blocks by explosive demolition, tower block by top down and high reach demolition, industrial demolition, inner city demolition, oil rig and offshore work in the UK and Europe, and many other smaller projects.
CDM 2007 states that all demolition should be planned and C&D can assist in that planning from initial studies to completion.
When we set up our website we saw it as a means of bringing information to the web about demolition in general as well as the work that we undertake and you will, therefore, find links to other demolition related websites, news feeds and legislation to try to answer any questions that you have about demolition and dismantling.
The new CDM Regulations are actively encouraging us all to become more competent in our work and the best way to ensure competence is to undergo training in demolition, so why not take a look at our training site to view courses on offer that are demolition orientated.
And finally take a look at the “When demolition goes wrong” section where you will find videos and news of demolition around the world when it didn’t go according to plan! I am pleased to say that C&D Consultancy were not involved in any of the projects in this section!
Thank you for visiting the site, enjoy the visit and please revisit soon.
John Woodward.
About Us
C&D Consultancy was established in May 2005 after John Woodward left Loxley Dismantling Ltd., an NFDC demolition company where he was managing director.
Initial work was estimating for a number of small, local companies with workloads growing to include Health and Safety advice, Method Statements and Health and Safety plans etc.
In 2006 the company expanded its customer base and undertook its first overseas project in Cyprus with estimating and health & safety documentation produced for the demolition of a former fertilizer plant.
During 2007 further expansion came with work as consultants for the demolition of the first oil rig to be demolished on UK soil at Lerwick, Shetland. C&D Consultancy were then also appointed as CDM co-ordinators for the demolition of 10 No 20 storey tower blocks by explosives for Glasgow Housing Association.
2008 saw continued work on the project for GHA and consultancy on a further oil rig to be dismantled at Hartlepool.
2008 also saw the commencement of the training division with Roland O'Connor recruited to deliver training courses in demolition and related subjects, and John becoming Vice President of the Institute of Demolition Engineers.
2009 saw John update the NFDC guidance for demolition of tower blocks by 'top down' methods and C&D expand their workload with additional CDM-C work on a number of tower blocks in Glasgow for members of the GHA tower block demolition framework agreement.
2010 saw John take the President's chair at the IDE and continue with speaking engagement in the UK and Europe to present on subjects such as demolition training, offshore demolition, and worldwide accident statistics to name just three. In the UK the workload continued to grow with John undertaking expert witness work and more consultancy projects on tower block demolition throughout the UK, and a number of industrial sector demolition projects.
2011 was a good year as turnover again increased, particularly in the training division as we launched new training methods with much more video and visual content. Consultancy orders continued for tower block demolition with 8 tower blocks completed during this year.
2012 came with a further increase in turnover, more training hours delivered than ever before, and recruitment of new team members to supplement the existing skills within the team. CDM-C work on tower blocks continued throughout the year both North and South of the border.

The demolition workforce will always be open and vulnerable to risks and hazards on demolition sites from plant and machinery, equipment, working at height, etc. Training and development of our workforce in the Demolition Industry is imperative to create awareness and protect their health and well being, especially in an industry within which injuries and occurrences are sometimes inevitable.
It is the employer’s responsibility to ensure its employees have received the necessary training which is crucial to his/her job for the well being of fellow workers.
C&D Consultancy is here to deal with all your training needs.

The Course includes:
So where and how does it go wrong?
* Site Assessment: Failure to identify all hazards
* Machine selection: Not getting the right machine for the job
* Planning the work: Failure to evaluate all hazards and eliminate/minimise risks where necessary
* Familiarisation: Lack of understanding of specific machine controls and functions
* Operators: Untrained or unauthorised users
* Supervision: Unsafe practices are allowed to continue or are not addressed
* Inspections: Failure to complete daily pre-use checks and weekly inspections
* Maintenance: Machine defects are not reported or repaired
* Harness: Reluctance to wear restraint lanyard in booms
* Emergency Planning: No contingency plans
Responsibility is not solely the operator's; those who plan, supervise and manage the use of MEWPs, must also be able to demonstrate their competence.
Delegates will be issued with a Certificate of Attendance.
Since the introduction of the Work at Height Regulations 2005, there is now greater emphasis on Mobile Elevated Work Platforms (MEWPs) as the 'safe option for accessing work at height," - but are they really safer? With over 35,000 MEWPs in the U.K, accidents involving them are on the increase.

(Regulations SI 2008: No. 314 issued under the Clean Neighbourhoods and Environment Act 2005).
No work should commence unless there is a Site Waste Management Plan in place.
Each project should have one SWMP, which is a live document that must be updated through the course of the project. The Plan has also to be kept by the Principal Contractor (under these regulations) for two years after completion of the construction phase.
To avoid a fixed penalty of £300.00 a site waste management plan should be available upon request.
Aims
This course is designed to ensure that all the key players (clients, designers, architects, principal contractors, subcontractors and suppliers etc) understand the requirements of the Site Waste Management Plan Regulations 2008 and how they apply to each role.

RPE Awareness & Fit Test
RPE (RESPIRATORY PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT)
EMPLOYEE AWARENESS & FIT TEST
Introduction
The requirement for RPE training and Face Mask Fit Testing is described in the Approved Code of Practices supporting:
HASAW 1974
The Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations (COSHH) 2002
The Control of Lead at Work Regulations (CLAW) 2002
The Control of Asbestos Regulations 2006
Face mask fit testing is a legal requirement for suitability of RPE by checking that a tight fitting face mask matches the person's facial features and seals adequately to the wearer's face. It will also help ensure that incorrectly fitting face masks are not selected for use.
Inadequate fit is not in compliance with the law and will significantly reduce the protection provided to the wearer. Any reduction in protection can put the RPE wearer's life in danger or may lead to immediate or long term ill health. Correct fitting of the face masks at all times is vital to prevent exposure.
Aims
The course will help ensure compliance with the law covering suitability of RPE selection, use, maintenance and Fit Testing in line with current Legislation. The purpose of the test is simply to ensure that the chosen mask actually fits the wearer and has the potential, if correctly worn, to offer the minimum level of protection it is designed for.
The Course includes:
* Legislation
* Employee awareness
* Risks and dangers of incorrectly fitting masks
* Importance of selecting correct RPE
* Face mask fit demonstration
* Looking after RPE
* Individual face mask fit & evaluation
Please ensure:
You bring your RPE Face Mask
Arrive clean shaven
Do not eat, drink or smoke 1 hour before the face fit
Delegates will be issued with a Certificate of Attendance.

Business Continuity Plans
Introduction
Unplanned events can have a devastating effect on businesses. Crises such as fire, damage to stock, theft or vandalism, natural disasters, powers cuts, illness of key staff or IT system failure, etc., could all make it difficult or even impossible to carry out your normal day-to-day activities.
At worst, this could see you losing important customers - and even going out of business altogether.
But with good planning you can take steps to minimise the potential impact of a disaster - and ideally prevent it happening in the first place.
Aims
This course will help you to identify potential risks, make preparations for emergencies and test how your business is likely to cope in a disaster.
The Course includes:
Business continuity planning in the event of a major fire or catastrophic event.
Record keeping
Action plan
Key personnel and roles
In order to develop a business continuity plan you need to have a thorough understanding of your business. This involves knowing the critical functions of your business, the effect of those functions being disrupted and the priority for recovery of those functions. This process is known as a business impact analysis.
You should consider the importance of the function on the survival of your business (percentage of income or work load, how critical the function is to other functions, etc) and how quickly each function must be re-established.
The completed business impact analysis will assist you to prioritise what or service you need to reinstate first during an emergency.
The business continuity management process is a circular process; it is vital the planning does not end once the plan is written. It should be reviewed and tested to ensure it remains up to date and effective.
