JCB JS330 HRD excavator dismantles the Nicolson Institute in Stornaway
A Scottish civil engineering and demolition contractor has bought a JCB JS330 HRD tracked excavator – featuring a high reach demolition rig – to carry out a series of demolition projects in the North of Scotland.
Purchased by W Munro Construction, based in Alness in the Scottish Highlands, the first role of the JS330 HRD, supplied by dealer Scot JCB, was to dismantle the Nicolson Institute in Stornaway – the largest school in the Western Isles of Scotland.
The company was appointed by lead contractor FMP Construction Joint Venture to handle the demolition aspect of the of the multi-million pound Western Isles Schools Project which will see the introduction of five brand new schools in the region.
From here, the 21-metre JS330 HRD – which comprises a three-fold boom fitted to a specially adapted demolition specification JCB excavator – will move to Inverness, to dismantle the Carlton Bingo building in preparation for a new development by Premier Inn.
