Tarfside Oval towers in Glasgow imploded

C&D Consultancy are proud to have been appointed as Principal Designer for the demolition of four tower blocks at Tarfside Oval, Cardonald, Glasgow by Dem-master. Three of the towers had their top 16 floors brought down last Sunday, footage of which can be seen below.



If you're wondering about that fourth block, it will be demolished using a high reach as it is too close to housing to risk using explosives. Once down, the site will be cleared ready for 50 new homes to be built starting late 2016.

Four multi-storey blocks to be demolished in south Glasgow

Tarfside Oval is being regenerated, and the Glasgow Housing Association has decided to demolish four mutli-storey tower blocks in the area as part of that plan.

The four blocks in question are 20, 40, 60, and 80 Tarfside Oval in Cardonald, south of Glasgow. The flats are already empty of residents, but still cost money to maintain up to a safe standard. Demolishing them will make way for new housing to be built on the land. In total some 60 houses are planned.

This is not a decision the GHA has taken alone. Local residents are apparently in favour of the demolition occurring. The flats are very umpopular and regenerating them would have been even more costly. So now demolition is on the cards, with the work taking place before the end of 2015 and meaning we could see new houses appearing there at some point in 2016.
