The building had been on fire since Thursday evening. There were up to twenty fire engines
here and they were struggling to get to the fire because the building had actually collapsed
onto the fire but was still burning underneath. We removed the roof piece by piece just getting
it out of the way and the fire brigade would go in and put that part of the fire out and
then we'd just repeat the exercise all the way through the building.
Well what I've been doing here with the rotating grab and the shear since we arrived
is chopping up any steel that's got to be sheared up, loading out, the majority of the
scrap has gone now. So now it's down to a case of sorting the rubbish that's left.
There's a lot of little bits of metal and what not left in the rubbish. So we can literally
pick anything that's, you know, very small up, so we can get ninety nine per cent of
the steel out of the rubbish.
We can work hard to get metal out of the job, if we get metal we can generate revenue which
will help pay the costs, keep the costs down for the insurer and the customer.
The company that own the building, we want to work very closely with them as they're
going through a very difficult time. They want to keep staff, skilled staff employed
and they want to keep, keep the business working well and efficiently. The building owners
want to salvage as much as they can as there's some valuable machinery in there that they
want to refurb. We've got to talk with them on best methods of getting that out safely.
What's important to do is to make sure that a customer finds an organisation like ours
that's going to do a good professional safe job, doing all the recycling correctly, keeping
to all the health and safety legislation correctly, all the environmental legislation correctly.
Rain or shine, we'll do a good job, come what may.
