Keeping New Build and Extension Projects On-Track

New build construction for residential, care and commercial properties, along with complex extension works for hospitals, prisons and other live environments, demands a careful balance between build quality and programme delivery.
Implementing the correct, compliant construction hazard controls supports HSE and Environment Agency compliance while protecting workers, safeguarding materials and ensuring projects reach practical completion and handover on time.

Hazard Control Systems for New Build and Extensions

New build and extension construction projects often involve high‑risk activities such as groundworks, structural works, demolition, cutting, drilling and concrete preparation. These works can generate significant levels of dust, noise, exhaust fumes, airborne contaminants and even contaminated water that must be effectively controlled to protect site operatives, neighbouring properties and the wider environment.

Extension works are frequently undertaken in live or partially occupied environments, such as homes, schools, hospitals, offices and commercial premises. In these situations, controlling dust migration, noise levels and air quality is critical to allow works to continue safely with minimal disruption.

Regardless of whether you’re working on a single‑storey extension or a large‑scale new build development, RVT Group’s dedicated construction team can advise on the most appropriate hazard control solution and, in most cases, arrange next‑day delivery nationwide.

We Understand Your Challenges

New build and extension projects bring a unique set of logistical and environmental challenges that evolve as works progress on site. Having the right temporary hazard control systems in place can support programme certainty, protect surrounding environments and help demonstrate responsible site management from start to finish. You may benefit from the following hazard control solutions:

  • Heaters and dehumidifiers to prevent programme delays by ensuring structures, materials and finishes dry effectively regardless of weather conditions
  • Compliant concrete washout systems to safely contain, manage and treat wash water from mixer trucks and on‑site concrete works
  • Full water treatment set-ups for effective and compliant dewatering on site during wet weather or when working on a site with a high water-table
  • Noise, dust and humidity monitoring equipment linked to a cloud‑based platform, providing real‑time data, alerts and reporting for proactive site management
  • Diesel exhaust fume extraction for generators, along with diesel particulate filter (DPF) kits for plant and machinery to reduce harmful emissions on construction sites

RVT Group can advise on the most appropriate engineering controls for your new build or extension project while supporting compliance with environmental legislation, CDM requirements and sustainability objectives.
