Leading Scottish contractor takes community liaison to new levels.
Former demolition company of the year Safedem is helping to keep local residents informed of progress on its Coll Place contract with a new contract-specific website. The contract – the 16th tower block to be imploded in partnership with the Glasgow Housing Association since 2005 – will be tracked throughout asbestos removal, sof strip and pre-blast preparations on the new website as part of Safedem’s ongoing community liaison initiative.
“We have developed these project specific websites in response to numerous inquiries about our projects (notably the explosives projects) from not only local residents but students undertaking projects and countless media firms looking at demolition documentaries and information on the demolition process,” explains managing director William Sinclair. “The objective is to explain the operations and to keep the local community up to date with site progress and key dates. We are also looking at the possibility of airing the blowdown live over the internet in order to emphasise the safety message for interested parties to remain clear of the area on blowdown day.”
