Pair of high reach excavators demolish disused Irish mill.
Irish contractor Hegarty Demolition Ltd is carrying out the demolition of Boland’s Mill in its native Republic of Ireland.
Boland’s Mill is located on the Grand Canal Dock in Dublin. It is currently undergoing a €150 million reconstruction to become Bolands Quay, accommodating new residences, commercial, retail, and civic spaces.
The mill site includes a number of buildings. There are two six-storey stone warehouse buildings dating from the 1830s (photo on right), and others on Barrow Street dating from the 1870s.[2] The majority of the complex consists of concrete silos built between the 1940s and 1960s. The mill stopped production in 2001 and the site has been derelict since then.
