MGL Demolition has commenced the structural demolition of Spencerbeck House, a former residential tower block in Middlesbrough.
The team is using a high-reach excavator to bring down the 26m structure, a method selected for its safety and efficiency compared with a machine-operated floor-by-floor approach.
Works are being carried out in a controlled sequence, with demolition starting at roof level before progressing through defined sections of the building on a bay-by-bay basis.
Once demolition is complete, the site will be repurposed for community use.
