Yellow Car Park

Project Background

The demolition and enabling works to the Yellow Car Park site (located between Fulton Road, Rutherford Way and Engineer’s Way in the heart of Wembley) form part of the earlier stages of the immense Wembley Park development, situated in the shadow of the England National Football Team Stadium.
The former Yellow Car Park site will be the location for Union Park, the first major park to open in the area for 150 years. The seven-acre park will feature a bandstand, children’s play areas, sports zones and a relaxing urban meadow, creating physical and mental health benefits.
The overarching regeneration project is made up of a number of separate but interlinked development schemes, including Union Park, Canada Gardens (743no. rental homes spread across 7no. buildings), Madison (663no. homes across 4no. buildings), The Robinson (458no. flats across 3no. blocks) and North East Lands (planned for other 2,000 new properties).
Wembley Park is one of London's most exciting new neighbourhoods with award-winning public realm, and homes, and experiences. When completed, Wembley Park will be home to the largest single site of Build to Rent in the UK with almost 6,000 homes.

Scope of Works

Working across multiple phases on the Project, GDL were employed by Harrington’s Builders on behalf of John Sisk & Son (New Build Contractor for NE02 and NE03 works at the development) to undertake the demolition and enabling works at the site of the former Yellow Car Park site.
Located along Engineer’s Way and Rutherford Way, the buildings requiring removal included the Wembley NEL Yellow Pavilion and Rutherford Way Offices, all of which required demolition to facilitate the new development.
Goody Demolition’s Scope of works included arranging Asbestos Refurbishment and Demolition surveys for a number of the buildings; disconnection of services across the site; setting up of exclusion zones, barriers and signage as required; waste and traffic management; removal of all Asbestos Containing Materials (ACMs) as identified on R&D surveys (carried out by Specialist Licensed Asbestos Removal Contractor and Partner Company Horizon Environmental); Scaffold and Propping Erection and Maintenance; Protection of Substation; internal soft strip; demolition of designated structures through combination of manual and mechanical techniques; removal of slabs and foundation and crushing of demolition arisings, leave site clean and clear for Client and follow-on Contractors.
