Demolition Company of the Year Safedem to be subject of BBC radio broadcast.
Just a few weeks ago, Scottish contractor Safedem was named Demolition Company of the Year and also collected the Explosive Demolition of the Year trophy at the inaugural Demolition Awards in Amsterdam. But it is a more delicate aspect of the company’s activities that will be the focus of ‘Brick by Brick’, a new Radio 4 programme to be broadcast at 11 am next Monday.
Safedem is handling the dismantling and facade retention at Marischal College in Aberdeen which boasts the second largest granite facade in the world. Formerly part of the University of Aberdeen, it is undergoing radical change to house the city’s new council offices, and in order to save the historic frontage, the building is being dismantled piece by piece, leaving only the outer walls.
Brick by Brick can be heard live on Radio 4 at 11 am on 30 November 2009 and should be available via the “listen again” function here.
