COLTON STREET
Demolition of 4-Storey R.C. Office Block. 

This project involved the demolition of a substantial 4-storey reinforced concrete framed office block in Leicester City Centre.

Initial enabling works consisted of demolishing a (de-listed) former manufacturing premises, and Licensed Asbestos Removal to the office block itself.

Once the enabling works, (and an extensive soft-strip), had been carried out, a 21 metre high-reach excavator with multi-processor was utilised to demolish the structure.

The neighbouring properties included a 19th Century graveyard, Charles Street Police Headquarters and a brand new apartment block, so extreme consideration was applied at all times.

The materials arising from the works were processed on site and utilised on an adjacent project.
