Time Lapse of Harris Scarfe Demolition

McMahon Services undertook the challenging demolition of the former Harris Scarfe building in Adelaide, South Australia. The inner city multi storey building was demolished in a very short time frame using a combination of mechanical deconstruction techniques. McMahon Services used the Komatsu PC 1250 Ultra High Reach Demolition Excavator to deconstruct the high sections of the buildings using the 30m reach configuration with various shears and grapple attachments. At full configuration, the machine has a reach of 45m and the capacity to operate a 2.5 tonne demolition shear at this height. Structures up to 15 storeys high can be deconstructed from ground level and the unit is readily transportable for use anywhere around Australia.
