Burlington House in Dover is seen by just about everyone as an eyesore that takes away from the beautiful view of the nearby castle. However, the amount of asbestos it contains as well as its location has meant a blowdown isn't possible. So DDS Demolition has been tasked with carrying out a top-down, floor-by-floor demolition.
The job has been referred to as an X-Files like location, with sections cordoned off by plastic tunnels to ensure no contamination with the always dangerous asbestos as it is removed. DDS also came up with an ingenious use for the lift shafts, allowing for controlled decent of rubble from each floor.
The ITV News video about Burlington House's demolition is well worth a watch.
