The razing of the Redcar Steelworks has been crowned the 'world's best demolition contract' after 105,000 tonnes of steel were safely brought down in under 30 seconds.
The ‘explosive blowdown’ saw the destruction of the Basic Oxygen Steelworking plant, in one of the biggest UK demolitions of the last 75 years.
Demolition firm Thompsons of Prudhoe took home Contractor of the Year at the 2023 World Demolition Awards in Toronto, Canada, after completing the project ahead of schedule, under budget and with no accidents.
