C&D Consultancy’s John Woodward is in for a busy and LOUD week.
Explosive demolition contracts are something of a rarity these days. In fact, it’s not unusual for the UK to go months without a single blast. But by some strange quirk of timing, C&D Consultancy’s John Woodward will be involved in two in the space of just 72 hours.
On Thursday, Woodward will be on site as Lee Demolition and PDC explosives engineers carry out the demolition of two structures at the St. Regis Paper Mill, Caldicot, Monmouthshire, NP26 5XT. The blasts can be viewed from a public viewing area within the site and the blast is scheduled for noon.
On Sunday, Woodward will be breaking out the ear defenders again as AR Demolition and PDC explosives engineers demolish two chimneys at the Former Timken Works, Desford Lane, Kirby Muxloe, Leicestershire.
The blasts can be viewed from a public viewing area off Desford Lane and the blast is scheduled for 11.00am. “Anyone intending to view this blast should try to get to site early as it is being filmed by BBC Television and Top Gear’s Richard Hammond will be presenting to camera on the day,” Woodward says. “Refreshments will be available for purchase on the day if you leave home before having breakfast. We hope to see you there!”
