Following the 2022 floods that devastated the Northern Rivers region, Perfect Contracting established a local presence to support the recovery effort. One stage of these works was the demolition, hazmat removal and site clean up works at Our Lady Help of Christians School (OLHOC) in Lismore, at both of the St. Joey’s campuses and both Trinity College campuses.
The OLHOC campuses were among several local school facilities significantly affected, with flood levels exceeding previous events recorded in 1974, 1954 and 1890 by two metres.
The scope involved clean up and remediation works across four flood impacted buildings, where widespread contamination required removal of damaged materials and hazardous substances. Asbestos, previously undisturbed, was identified throughout and removed by hand under controlled conditions.
Internal strip out works followed, including removal of linings, insulation, services and fixtures. All surfaces were pressure cleaned to remove residual contaminants before mould remediation was carried out, leaving the buildings safe and ready for refurbishment.
