Video – Rosemount dismounted…

Safedem and C&D Consultancy rack up another successful blast.

Safedem – aided and abetted by C&D Consultancy – this morning demolished a 25-storey multi-storey at Rosemount Street, Roystonhill, in the north of the Glasgow.

The demolition allows Glasgow Housing Association (GHA) to clear the site and carry out the next phase of a major regeneration programme.

Scotland’s biggest social landlord is building 100 new homes in the area – with 55 houses already completed and handed over to GHA tenants following the demolition of a neighbouring multi-storey block in 2013.

The demolition created around 10,000 tonnes of rubble. The clear-up operation will take several months with the rubble removed and crushed to be used as foundations for roads and buildings.

Around 500 tenants in nearby properties were temporarily evacuated for the demolition.
