By Brianna Mcilraith,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Asbestos removal and demolition of one of Taranaki’s biggest eyesores is under way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Auckland-based Nikau Group has begun clearing the asbestos-contaminated and rundown former Ravesndown site on State Highway 3 at the northern entrance to New Plymouth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nikau Group director John Paul Stil said the work began on November 7 and involves removal of all asbestos and then full site demolition, excavation services<\/a> and remediation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n At the weekend, workers dressed in protective gear could be seen being craned to the top of a building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAll suitable concrete [is] to be recycled and reused for the civil construction works,\u201d Stil said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The site is owned by Bluehaven Group and will be the new home of a multimillion-dollar shopping complex.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There are 15 people working at the site and Stil said there was no risk to the public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAll asbestos will be removed as per the regulations and consents, and comprehensive monitoring, including boundary surveillance, is being done daily. Therefore the risk to the public is extremely low.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Nikau Group has previously completed deconstruction work at the P\u0101tea Freezing Works and the Port Taranaki Power Station, but Stil said the 7.44-hectare deconstruction was the company’s largest project in Taranaki.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It is due to be completed in September 2021.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" By Brianna Mcilraith, Asbestos removal and demolition of one of Taranaki’s biggest eyesores is under way.
