Armoury Group has won a £0.5 million (US$0.8 million) contract to demolish Gardenmore House, a 16 storey Bison panel tower block in the Riverdale area of the Northern Irish city of Larne in County Antrim. The job is scheduled to take 26 weeks to carry out, and the removal of the ageing tower will clear the way for relandscaping and improvements to local amenities.

According to John Spence from project consultants Doran Consulting: "Armoury has proven experience in safely conducting demolition in densely populated areas, which is important for a project such as this, due to the close proximity Gardenmore House has to other buildings and homes. We very much look forward to working alongside them to achieve a smooth and successful transition for those affect by the works."

Commenting on being awarded the contract, Armoury business development director Jim McEwan said: We are delighted to be undertaking this project, which is bound to have a noticeable impact on the local community. However, with experience of providing advanced demolition techniques spanning over 25 years, we are positive that we can provide the quality of service that a project of such magnitude demands."
