A team of 20 demolition specialists from Solihull-based firm Armac Demolition worked around the clock to remove a 4,000-tonne two-span bridge over the M42 to make way for the HS2 railway in the West Midlands.
Eight 50-tonne and two 40-tonne excavators were used to remove the 40m long, 10m wide bridge during a planned 56-hour closure of the motorway.
Six articulated dumper trucks transported the excavated material to a local stockpile. It will then be crushed and reused on HS2’s haul roads and working areas.
