Shopping parade canopy demolition — shops stayed open
Controlled demolition of a shopping parade canopy on temporary steels, with every shop trading throughout and the public kept clear.



Demolition on a live retail parade is as much about the public as the structure. We supported the canopy on temporary steels, stripped and removed it in a controlled sequence from a scissor lift, and kept the area netted, fenced and signed — so every shop beneath stayed open for business throughout.
What the job involved
- Temporary steels designed to support the structure during removal
- Controlled strip-out and demolition from a scissor lift
- Netted, fenced and signed with the public kept clear
- Shops kept trading throughout the works
