Multiple Caterpillar machines helped Lawson Group tackle demolition of a former supermarket.
Lawson Group is currently working to demolish what was previously a medium sized Tesco store, terraced houses and a large pub. The three phase, £1m demolition and ground works project will see the site cleared of all but one building – a corner butchers shop.
The company mobilised a sizable part of its Caterpillar fleet purchased from Finning for the project. In total, nine items of Caterpillar plant are being used for differing jobs, including its newest fleet editions two Cat 336DL hydraulic excavators. These are accompanied by two Cat 323DL’s, a Cat 345BL UHD and a Cat 365CL excavator, all complete with a range of work tools including a Cat MP20. In addition to the core excavators a Cat 242B Skid Steer and a Cat TH350B Telehandler are providing support to the project, for both internal and external site clearance and material processing. Lawson Group also has two crushers on site, processing materials arising from the demolition.
