Demolition works at the iconic All Saints library site are now fully in motion, marking a major milestone for this high-profile development in the heart of Manchester city centre.
Given the tight urban footprint and the scale of the structure, navigating the teardown requires careful planning, precision engineering, and some heavy lifting.
Floor-by-Floor Precision
As captured in the latest project update photo, the sheer complexity of the project is on full display. The image captures a dramatic moment on-site: a large mobile crane hoisting a mini digger high into the air, aiming straight for the roof level.
Because of the challenging nature of this city-centre location, the team is utilising a floor-by-floor demolition strategy, lifting equipment onto the top levels to systematically and safely dismantle the key areas of the building from the top down.
