View fantastic time-lapse vision of a challenging demolition

McMahon Services recently undertook the challenging demolition of the former Harris Scarfe building in Adelaide, South Australia.

The inner city multi storey building was demolished in a very short time frame using a combination of mechanical deconstruction techniques.

McMahon Services used the Komatsu PC 1250 Ultra High Reach Demolition Excavator to deconstruct the high sections of the buildings using the 30 metre reach configuration with various shears and grapple attachments. At full configuration, the machine has a reach of 45 metres and the capacity to operate a 2.5 tonne demolition shear.
