Scaffolding has been meticulously erected around the structure, ensuring the utmost safety measures are in place.

The entire building has been wrapped to ensure dust and debris are effectively contained throughout the demolition process.

Contractors will begin by meticulously removing the top four floors piece by piece with the demolition continuing through to the ground floor in the next few months.

Prominent signage will be erected in the surrounding area to indicate pedestrian routes ensuring a clear and safe passage.

Comprehensive waste management strategies have also been implemented to ensure the proper disposal and recycling of materials from the demolition site, minimising the project's environmental impact.

To mitigate disruption to the surrounding area, a comprehensive traffic management plan has also been put together.

This plan aims to minimise congestion and maintain the flow of traffic.
