C&D customer Coleman & Co bring down Gorbals towerblocks

Yesterday when some of us were having a lie in Coleman & Co were hard at work evacuating residents, setting exclusion zones and commencing a countdown to bring down two Gorbals towerblocks. The demolition, with explosives work by John Turner of Robinson & Birdsell, was the latest in a long line of Glasgow explosive contracts that are slowly clearing the Glasgow skyline of redundant tower blocks.

We at C&D were not involved in this blast but, like all fans of blow downs, we followed the events live via the twitter feed and were delighted to see that it all went without a hitch.

Congratulations to all concerned.
