- Scenario: You are working as a Junior Engineer in a Company. The company has been awarded a contract for a London-based university's Future Campus. The work will involve demolition of an existing library building, construction of a large 4 storey new building with a total area of 1000 m?. The client would like the campus to be open throughout the demolition process. In addition, the client requires that the construction of the new building with a large basement, is completed within 12 months and before the beginning of the new academic year. Task: You are required to prepare a report for your manager on the following aspects. The report must contain an Introduction and the key areas under the following heads: Demolition: You are to assess the existing building before the demolition and carry out the Risk assessments to ensure that the work is completed with all health & safety measures in place.
