LANCASTER BOMBER NX 6111

Client: Lincoln Aviation Heritage Centre

Location: Spilsby / In House

Project: Asbestos Removal from Pipework

Timescale: February 2018

This project involved the removal and disposal of asbestos insulation from approximately 20 sections of pipework (cabin heating pipes) from an original Lancaster Bomber NX 6111 under fully enclosed controlled conditions.

The Lancaster Bomber is being renovated at the Lincoln Aviation Heritage Centre with the aim of returning it to flying capacity. Heating pipework in the cabin was found to have been insulated with asbestos which needed to be removed in order for the project to progress.

Due to the fragile nature of the pipework it was agreed that the work should be completed in controlled conditions away from the Heritage Centre. The fragile pipework was removed, and each piece was attached to a metal identification tag. These were then transported to Rilmac Asbestos Services Lincoln Workshop where a dedicated enclosure and DCU had been set up to allow for the safe cleaning process.

What Our Clients Say

""Rilmac undertook a complete scaffold erection and dismantle for our Project at Poplar Farm Primary School in Grantham. From pre-start to delivery, James and the team undertook the works with great pace and working within a safe and secure manner. A true credit and testament to the values that Rilmac ascertain. The team were extremely helpful and worked with all other trades to ensure that works were erected within the correct manner and accounting for all factors that were put onto the team.
I can only personally thank James and the Team for the great work that was undertaken at Poplar Farm and it would be an extreme pleasure to work with them again.""
