Rhodar, acting as Principal Contractor, completed the demolition of three, 18-storey high rise tower blocks, nine garages and a council depot as part of the regeneration of the Beech Hill area of Halifax in Calderdale.

The demolition of Beech Hill towers is a significant part of the development project by the Calderdale Together Investment Partnership, a partnership between Together Housing and Calderdale Council.

The 40-week project saw the recycling of over 700 tonnes of metal waste, 150,000 tonnes of brick rubble, 210 tonnes of general waste and 140 tonnes of hard core.

Over 100 staff were on site during peak periods with one of the UK’s largest excavators – a 120 tonne, 54m super high-reach excavator – used to demolish the flats from the top down.

The project has successfully cleared the way for hundreds of new affordable homes to be built over the next five years.
