Large Scale AIB Removal at Cummins Engines, Daventry

Jackson Environmental were awarded the contract to undertake complete AIB removal from the 10,000m² roof space above the main assembly area to create a safe working environment for Cummins staff and contractors.

Cummins UK is a manufacturer of heavy diesel engines. The Daventry Plant which came on line in 1972 currently manufactures engines of 38litres and above.

Using a bespoke suspended rolling scaffold system, the 2 year project was phased over 57 separate asbestos enclosures to avoid disruption to engine production.

In total 1,500m² of AIB wall lining board and 10,000m² of asbestos contaminated timber flooring were removed and the entire 25,000m³ roof space was decontaminated.

On completion we installed a new timber floor and lightwell covers and metal profile sheeting with fire stopping to the walls.
