Client: New Gorbals Housing Association Ltd Discipline(s): Soft strip, asbestos removal, explosive demolition, evacuation Location: 170 & 200 Sandiefield Road, Crown Street Regeneration Area, Gorbals, Glasgow Programme: 34 weeks Background To make way for new redevelopment projects in the heart of the award winning Crown Street Regeneration Area in Glasgow, New Gorbals Housing Association appointed Coleman & Company to demolish two 24-storey tower blocks in Gorbals. Built in 1971, 170 and 200 Sandiefield Road were large panel blocks of flats, each standing at 69 metres tall and containing 394 dwellings. This explosive demolition project was to pave the way for a new Health Centre, social housing and office accommodation for the Housing Association. Scope of works The blowdown was the culmination of months of detailed and meticulous planning by Coleman & Company with New Gorbals Housing Association and other stakeholders including Police Scotland, Glasgow City Council, the Highways Agency, Network Rail, Air Traffic Control, utilities providers and extensive engagement with the local community. Key works included:
Project challenges The original construction of the tower blocks, coupled with the residential location, posed a number of challenges within the project, including:
Neighbours The site was located within the Gorbals area of Glasgow and is confined with a main arterial road and elevated rail track beyond immediately to the west. Commercial premises exist immediately to the north and the Public Highway with Gorbals’ new four storey housing development exists to the east and south. Resources:
