EHS management

Safety is CMJ’s number one priority, therefore we guide and support clients’ teams at all times to ensure operations are undertaken using best-practice procedures and methodology, and strictly in accordance with ever-evolving and increasingly more stringent legislation. CMJ views the management of EHS as a joint responsibility to be shared by all involved in any given project. The establishment of a tripartite alliance between the client, contractor and CMJ creates the foundation on which to build a successful safety mindset and behavioural culture.

Technical auditing​

CMJ’s consultants can be used to actively assess and comment on method statements put forward by contractors. Thanks to many years experience in the demolition/decommissioning arena, it is possible to take a practical and realistic view when auditing proposed work systems and procedures. We operate as part of a project team with, not in opposition to the contractor. CMJ will proactively become involved in the development of best value methodology and, where required, will explore a variety of solutions in order to advance and enhance the project. CMJ’s targeted skill-sets span disciplines including demolition, explosives, chemical, structural and mechanical engineering. As a result CMJ is able to deliver safe, commercially secure, environmentally sound and cost effective results, even when the circumstances are extremely challenging.

Project Financial control, "Cost-control"

The control of cost throughout a project is vital. These controls start at the tendering stage, because a detailed scope of works will enable a contractor, in most cases, to provide a fixed sum for the project. Using knowledge of where pitfalls could lie, CMJ carefully calculates bills of quantities or pricing schedules for completion at tender stage. This information provides the client with contract spend certainty. CMJ then structures financial milestones for the client to use as valuation monitoring points. This approach, coupled with bonds or guarantees, ensure contractual integrity and security for the client. CMJ will endeavour to develop bespoke cost-control systems to further protect the client wherever possible. For example, past projects have benefited from the formulation of index-linked de-risking mechanisms, which protect the client and contractor from the volatility of scrap commodity market values. Equally gainshare structures can be introduced to incentivise the whole project team to deliver optimum performance without compromise to quality or EHS standards.

Care and maintenance management

​Should a client decide to take a plant out of production but for reasons such as corporate strategy or commercial prudence wish to delay the dismantling and clearance process, CMJ has developed a service to support clients to achieve their goals in a safe and cost-effective manner. The experienced CMJ team will work with the client’s personnel – whilst their valuable and unparalleled knowledge of the plant remains accessible – to develop robust procedures and systems, enabling the next stages of the project to be undertaken efficiently and at the appropriate time. The care and maintenance team offers a flexible and bespoke approach to every situation to advise on matters such as decommissioning strategies, fit for purpose decontamination regimes with appropriate documentation provision, and liaison with enforcing authorities.
