So DDM knew what she had to do. All asbestos was removed. The work includes the removal of various installations at various locations. Including the electrical systems, instrumentation, piping, equipment and steel structures.
DDM specialists used excavators to remove the lower and smaller items. The machines were therefore equipped with a scrap shear. The cut materials were sorted and collected with a sorting grab. Higher parts were lifted off with cranes and further processed on the ground. Storage tanks were demolished using a long-arm crawler crane. Installations were also dismantled for reuse. The life pipe bridges were protected during the work by scaffolding, steel floors and fireproof blankets. In some cases the concrete ground floors were removed. All waste materials are offered to certified and recognized waste processors and processed in accordance with the regulations and legislation.
The Quality and Health, Safety and the Environment policy is an ongoing process. That is why DDM is continuously working on improving all these areas to keep improving safety levels.
DDM was rewarded with a World Demolition Award in the Civils category.
Removing 5 arch bridges over the Amsterdam Rhine Canal was an intensive job. The schedule was tight and the expectations of all employees were high. But with a joint effort and incredible passion, DDM has successfully removed and recycled the 5 bridges within schedule.
Every year DDM holds a number of safety days to boost safety awareness.
Last year's objectives are evaluated and new objectives are determined. All managers and all operational employees discuss safety, policy and vision together. In addition to all regular training courses, DDM offers workshops and training to all employees during these days to take the qualities of the professionals to an even higher level. Together with all DDM employees, we are working on an increasingly higher safety ethic. Everyone at DDM carries out their work in a safe and healthy manner, with sufficient attention to the environment. And they're getting better at it. This applies to everyone; back to work healthy and safe and back home healthy.
