Asbestos Removal Works East London
In 2016 Inner City Environmental were appointed by Rye Demolition to carry out Asbestos Removal at the Boleyn, former home of West Ham United FC.
A very emotional project for many of the West Ham supporters amongst our workforce.
It was a sad day in East London for all West Ham Fans when Rye Demolition rolled up to start the demolition of the Boleyn Ground. A scene far removed from the last game under lights against Manchester United where fans said goodbye in what was a fantastic night for fans. Many of the workforce at Inner City were at the game.Inner City has carried out Asbestos Removal at some unusual places which have included several so-called haunted buildings. Therefore working with our client Rye Demolition to remove the asbestos from the Boleyn was a mix of excitement tinged with sadness as we saw the ground demolished bit by bit.Some of us who were Season Ticket holders did manage to sneak a last sit in our seats.Unfortunately, we were not permitted to get any memorabilia. Now I think we would all rather demolish the London Stadium instead and return to Green Street.Our work included a mix of notifiable and non-notifiable worksHave a look at the demolition images on the Rye Demolition website – LinkRye demolition donated bricks from the memorial wall to Charity – LinkThe site has subsequently been redeveloped by Barratt Homes.Inner City also were involved in Asbestos Removal work at Upton Park Bus Garage which was next to the Boleyn.
