Safedem makes ready for arrival on new high reach excavator.
Scaffolding is being stripped away from Dundee eyesore Tayside House ahead of the arrival of a new demolition machine. The high-reach excavator will be used to pull down the building’s remaining floors at a much quicker pace.
Tayside House, once voted the least loved building in the city, cannot be blown up due to the location and proximity to Dundee-Aberdeen railway line and the main road along South Marketgait.
Fresh from its explosive success at 21 Birnie Court this weekend, Safedem say the building is now low enough to allow “accelerated demolition”.
Tayside House has been steadily shrinking from the Dundee skyline for months now, as builders take the floors away piece by piece.
A Safedem spokesman said: “Safedem has purchased a new high-reach demolition machine which will be arriving at Tayside House to allow accelerated demolition from the 10th floor down.”
It is anticipated that the high-reach work will commence within a matter of days.
