On Thursday 28th April, Andre Jaarson came to talk to us about demolition engineering. Andre is a qualified civil engineer with over 13 years’ experience working within the engineering and demolition industry. He currently works for Coleman & Company designing temporary works for demolition projects across the nation. He told us how the MAN Holder was to be de-constructed using the innovative method of raising the internal piston, cold cutting the roof free, using a floating working platform to enable cutting and lifting down of sections of the holder with bespoke roof top cranes.
This was the gas holder demolition featured in the television series “Demolition – The Wrecking Crew”. Watch this to hear more about the constraints surrounding the site, the engineering behind the innovative techniques and physicality’s of cold cutting the holder down.
