Broomloan Court (Ibrox) Demolition

[Josef]

Nearly. Much crunching of brambles was involved.

[Vinegar Tom]

Ahh - I was down there this morning and got nowhere as close. Like the iPhone pics though.

[BrigitDoon]

I'm planning to take at least one snap a day over the demolition period, so you'll all be well bored shortly.

That'll save me a round trip of several hundred light years from darkest East Kilbride.

any idea what block that is?

[maximusmop]

the news i gleened from site today is that no more demolition of the blocks will take place till next week at the earliest, the reason for this is the jaw that crunchs the blocks down weights 13 tons and its been blowing about more than coleman like, so a smaller unit is on it's way up from down south.
two other things i managed to gleen where the crushed rubble that is piled up on site came from SIGHTHILL, one tower is helping anothers demise!!! and the order of munching is block that's started first, the one behind the petrol station next(stripout nearly done) and the one block at the road last.
this block poses the problem as a mains gas line runs underground VERY close to the block, this is why controlled demolition was rulled out.

Don't know the number Roy, but that's the one on the right in the pic you posted, at right angles to PRW. That's not the one thats getting demlolished right now, the machine was just parked there.

I see. Was wondering what was happening, every time I saw it nothing had changed.

Cheers for the info Max , As like Salka I wondered what was going on, personally I thought the machine had broken down.

That is some piece of Kit. I wonder if you can hire it on a self drive basis?

Think of the blots on the landscape that you could wipe out in a weekend.
