Safedem readies locals for weekend blast.
Having already demonstrated the prowess that earned it the World Explosive Demolition Contractor of the Year at Glasgow’s Red Road in June last year, Safedem is making final checks on the second major blast at the site which is scheduled to take place on Sunday 5 May.
The latest block to fall is 21 Birnie Court, a 31-storey, Brutalist-style, steel-framed tower completed in 1969
The company is warning local residents to avoid the area and advising that there are no clear views of the building anywhere near the exclusion zone.
According to the mini website established to keep Red Road residents informed ” there will be a great deal of dust being blown through the air from the collapsing building. We strongly recommend that you avoid the area completely.”
Look out for video footage of the blast here on Sunday 5 May 2013.
