School Demolition & Rebuild Groundworks

The Job

In Pembrokeshire, M.Smithson LTD took a former school building from standing structure to a foundation-ready platform for its modular replacement: full demolition, slab breakout and muck-away, then concrete pad foundations, new drainage and water supply, and service ducting runs.

The Challenge

Working within a live school environment — play areas and buildings in use nearby — the demolition had to come down clean and the site cleared fast, with rubble processed and carted by grab lorry before groundworks could start between the school's boundaries.

What We Delivered

• Full demolition of the former school building
• Slab breakout with hydraulic breaker and rubble processing
• Muck-away and site clearance by grab lorry
• Concrete pad foundations poured and levelled
• New drainage, water supply and service ducting with warning tape

The Result

Inside a fortnight the old building was down, the site cleared and pad foundations laid out across a prepared platform — drainage and ducting in and ready for the modular building to land. Works continuing through August 2026.
