The Safedem Community Liaison Team visited Glebelands Primary School on Friday the 9th of March.

The Team talked to the pupils about the demolition of Tayside House. The pupils listened carefully to the presentations that concentrated mainly on safety of the demolition site. The lively sessions stimulated lots of interest and questions.

 The Safedem Team hope to have inspired the pupils, and have set safety competitions for the whole school. The competition entries will be judged next month and there will be prizes for the best efforts. Keep logging on to find out who the winners will be.

We would like to thank everyone for there co-operation during the ongoing works that are being carried out to the Podium Block. We have now re-instated the Shore Terrace Walkway.

As you may have noticed the demolition works to the Podium Block are well underway. We will be undertaking additional works this Saturday the 10th of March and in order for us to carryout these works, there will be a lane closure in place from 8am until 4pm.

The Closure will be on Dock Street between Tayside House and the Podium Block from the corner of Whitehall Crescent to the end of the Shore Terrace car park. 

Some bus routes may be effected by this closure.

See the Traffic management plan.

The footpath on Dock Street in front of the Podium Block  will be closed and pedestrians will be diverted to the reopened Shore Terrace footpath.

We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause you.

Thank you for your patience.

Safedem have completed the works to lift down the Olympia Walkway in Dundee city centre.

The works are part of the Tayside House project which includes the demolition of the 18 storey former council offices.

The works have required detailed planning and road closures as the walkway spans the main route through the city centre including the access ramp to the Tay Road bridge.
Safedem Regional Manager , George Barclay states the works progressed well.

The dismantling and removal of the walkway from Tayside House leading to the Olympia will be carried out next week!

The Demolition will commence on Tuesday the 17th of January at 7.30pm and will be complete by Friday the 20th of January at 5.30am. We will be working through the night, to ensure there is minimum disruption to the public.

There will be extensive road closures in the area and all traffic will be diverted away from the site. The Road will close each night at 7.30pm and reopen at 5.30am each morning.

We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause to you.

Tayside House will be deconstructed using the Top Down Demolition Method.

The Podium Block at the base of the tower will be demolished using conventional means. We are in the proccess of removing all asbestos materials from the block, this process will be followed by the soft stripping of all internal fixtures.

By mid April we aim to have completed the demolition of the Podium Block and the walkways leading to Tayside House.
