Safedem to take centre stage in Scottish sporting showcase.
Five of Glasgow’s remaining six Red Road flats will be brought down in just 15 seconds in the biggest demolition of its kind ever seen in Europe.
The event will be shown live on a 100 metre wide screen at the Celtic Park ceremony and to a huge, global TV audience.
The 30-storey structures were built in the mid 1960s. The original eight tower blocks housed about 4,000 people and were once the highest flats in Europe.
They are being demolished as part of a Glasgow Housing Association (GHA) regeneration project.
The first tower block was brought down in June 2012. The second demolition took place in May last year.
The five tower blocks will be brought down simultaneously during the opening ceremony on 23 July.
