A contract to support health and safety on the iconic Tyne Bridge, which is currently undergoing significant restoration, was undertaken by a growing County Durham environmental services specialist.
Peterlee-based, Asbestos Audit, was one of the first suppliers called upon by main contractor Esh Construction, to ensure regulatory compliance for the bridge’s two towers, prior to major maintenance and upgrade work taking place.
Building surveys and compliance testing were carried out by a four-strong team who, along with ecologists and other environmentalists, were some of the first suppliers on the project.
The Tyne Bridge restoration is funded by the UK Government, as well as monies from both Newcastle City Council and Gateshead Council.
