Dangerous Buildings Demolition
November 6, 2008 by Michael · Leave a Comment
MJ Finnigan Ltd were called out to respond to an emergency following a fire at two blocks of flats in Manchester. The buildings had a demolition order placed on them by the local council and it was necessary to mobilse as quickly as possible and carry out the demolition to ensure the safety of the local residents as the buildings were at rick of collapse.
One of the buildings was located in close proximity to an occupied dwelling which meant the gable end had to be fully scaffolded and hand demolition techniques employed.
