ENGINEERING CASE STUDY
Project planning and controls expertise to manage demolition works schedule on a business critical project.
The Company: Thompsons of Prudhoe
Thompsons of Prudhoe are a demolition company. Probitas were engaged to provide expertise on a very high profile project based at the Teesworks site in Redcar on the banks of the River Tees, in the heart of the Tees Valley’s industrial landscape. This particular project was part of the scope to develop the site into the UK’s largest Freeport.
The Problem
Thompsons had some demolition and remediations works scheduled. These included, but were not limited to, sizeable structures and land clearance works such as the BOS Plant, Redcar Blast Furnace and Redcar Coke Oven Battery. It was vital that the works ran on time as the Teesworks project has defined timelines to meet.
The Solution
After being contracted, Probitas worked with the assigned project teams to develop and provide project planning support and controls expertise to allow onsite teams to have a structured plan of works to be completed, with associated works, timelines and durations clearly defined. This also aided the client to provide regular and concise progress reports against defined baseline to their client to show works completed to date and upcoming demolition works across the site.
The Result
All defined demolition works and land clearances were executed safely and on time. Thompsons were extremely satisfied with what was achieved as were their client.
Pete has provided excellent and highly-efficient planning support to our tendering and delivery teams on our industrial and heavy demolition departments.
His knowledge, expertise and understanding of planning principles are always evident when Pete produces and marks-up our programmes.
Pete’s assistance has helped our management team focus on delivering the job in-hand whilst he has competently produced and updated our programmes based on our progress.

Pete assisted myself and the Thompsons team when our planner left at short notice on a major oil and gas project. He successfully migrated us from Primavera P6 to a Microsoft Project package, this allowed the project to be completed in compliance with contractual obligations and with minimum disruption, also maintaining relations with the client which we had worked hard to achieve over many months. The support Pete provided was very much appreciated by us all.
