Deconstruct gets Grenfell nod

Construction Enquirer is reporting this morning that Deconstruct has been selected to tackle the highly-sensitive demolition of Grenfell Tower.

Deconstruct has been active on the Grenfell site since 2017, handling propping, clearance, and safety monitoring.

The Government awarded Deconstruct (UK) the deal without competition under a contract variation, citing technical reasons and the risk of delays and higher costs if a new contractor were brought in.

The Government said Deconstruct’s in-depth knowledge of the tower and the surrounding area made the firm uniquely qualified to carry out the sensitive deconstruction works.

The complexity and sensitivity of the Grenfell Tower demolition project was covered in this exclusive article back in January of this year.
