TRD responds to bridge collision…

Total Reclaims takes to Facebook to apologise to people of Nottingham.

Nottingham-based Total Reclaims Demolition has issued a public apology for and explanation of an incident yesterday in which a Liebherr excavator being carried on a low loader struck a bridge, causing severe delays for local commuters.

The statement, which was posted on the company’s Facebook page, is as follows:

We would like to let the public know exactly what we are doing to get traffic back up and running, after a low loader carrying one of our demolition rigs struck a bridge in Nottingham this morning.

The demolition rig had been travelling between two of our sites in Nottingham where we are currently carrying out demolition works, when the arm struck the bridge, causing it to dismount the lorry.

Thankfully no injuries have been reported, and we are now in the process of cleaning up the debris left behind. Our own teams are on site working as quickly as they can to minimise the disruption to other road users, and we are helping both the Police and Highways Agency with their enquiries.

We would like to take this opportunity to apologise for any inconvenience caused to other road users, and to reassure the public that we are doing our very best to put this right.
