Quickfire demolition in 48 hours

A unique quick-fire demolition of the eight-storey URS House in Christchurch. The building owners have chosen to demolish it rather than repair, and they are managing the demolition works privately. That work plan will see the former office block leveled in under 48 hours by two separate crews using two high-reach excavators.
