Decontamination & Demolition

 
   
 
     
   
    The Government Wool Station before demolition  
   
   
     
 

The complete decontamination and Demolition of a redundant government Wool Disinfecting Station.   

There was concern over the possibility of an outbreak of Anthrax,  as in the 1950's a number of employees working at the Station had contracted the disease and the spores are long lived.

Before demolition started each day a formaldehyde solution  was sprayed onto the bricks and fittings of the part of the building that was to be demolished, the arisings were then crushed and sprayed again, before being loaded into skips.

 
   
 
     
   
   
     
 

Once loaded the vehicles were sheeted up and washed down with the formaldehyde solution before leaving the site to tip at a nearby disused dock.

Once  the vehicles had discharged their loads they were sprayed again before returning to the site.
Operatives were inoculated against Anthrax, and were fully equipped with coveralls and protective masks.  The operatives were each issued with a pocket card that fully depicted the symptoms of Anthrax.
