ENTWISTLE HEIGHTS
This contract involved the removal of one hundred and sixty eight flats built in 1960. They were situated in a twenty two-storey block, 63 metres high, at Upper Parliament Street, Liverpool. The construction was in-situ reinforced concrete, all of which had to be reduced to the ground and the site graded and levelled. Throughout the demolition work there were occupied dwellings close to the building, on one side they were three metres away, on the other side they were ten metres away. To avoid damage to the dwellings the sidewalls of the building were sheeted from top to bottom before work began. The whole of the structure was covered by scaffolding and as each storey was taken down the work platforms at that level were enclosed by fragmentation sheeting to contain loose rubble as the area was dismantled. From the erection of hoarding around the site to the final clearance of the ground the contract was finished within the specified period, with no disturbance to the tenants, in the houses on either side of the block.
