River Clyde Homes has selected RVA’s multi-disciplined team, to support them in the demolition of Octavia Court, a 17 storey residential block in Greenock.

RVA’s in-house demolition and CDM experts will work closely with River Clyde Homes to project manage the demolition programme and co-ordinate site operations.

The tower block will be brought down by the controlled use of explosives in early 2011, to allow for the continuation of a large scale regeneration programme. When the site is cleared, work will commence to build 14 new terraced and semi-detached homes that will house up to 56 people.
