Demolition plant and temporary works at Dorchester House, Belfast
01 / Understand

The challenge.

  • A constrained urban site bordered neighbouring properties and public areas.
  • Retained structures and existing services needed protection.
  • Slabs, beams, columns and façade elements required a controlled removal sequence.
02 / Control & deliver

Harte’s solution.

  • Planned floor-by-floor demolition supported by temporary works and controlled lifting.
  • Used Brokk demolition, concrete cutting and mini excavators in restricted work areas.
  • Coordinated crane operations, crash decks and designated drop zones to handle materials.
The result

Delivery.

Structural demolition sequenced around retained elements and the wider redevelopment.
