Safedem has successfully completed the demolition of a 25-storey block of flats in Roystonhill, north Glasgow, which have been standing since 1968.
The implosion can be watched above and used 40kg of explosives to bring the block down in just 5 seconds. The clean up operation involving the removal of 10,000 tonnes of debris will be completed by the middle of 2014.
The demolition was greenlit by the Glasgow Housing Association, which has already invested £1.3 billion regenerating the area and housing across the entire city. In place of these flats 100 new homes will be built as well as around 300 more homes planned for the Sighthill and Barmulloch areas of the city.
