NORTHERN ROCK UPDATE

The progression of the main tower is now well underway with a super long reach excavator pictured in this photograph of the 13th February employed to undertake the main tower demolition.

This specialist machine has a reach of 42metres and is fitted with a pulverisor attachment which progressively shears the reinforced concrete structure on a floor by floor basis to reduce the tower in height to five storeys in height. Once this level is reached smaller machines are mobilised to complete the demolition to programme.

This work is directed by our Site Manager in our accordance with the method statement which has been developed with the consultant engineers, constant monitoring is in place to ensure this phase of the work is completed without risk.

Following the completion of the tower demolition work will commence on the bulk excavation and preparation for the construction phase of the works.
