Former explosive demolition company of the year completes latest successful blast.
A multi-storey block of flats in the north of Glasgow has been demolished by Safedem using controlled explosion overnight.
It took 55kg of explosives and just five seconds to bring down the 17-storey Glasgow Housing Association property at Coll Place in the Germiston area.
The demolition took place in the early hours to minimise disruption to other local residents and to rail services.
GHA’s executive director of development and regeneration Alex McGuire said: “The demolition of the last of the multi-storeys at Coll Place is part of our wider plans, with our partners, to regenerate communities across the city.
“We’d like to thank nearby residents for their patience and understanding while the demolition was carried out.”
