The project involved the demolition of an entire residential quarter consisting of 15 buildings, containing over 200 council homes and a school, for a total volume of 100,000 cubic metres. The location, Ilot St Vincent de Paul, a quarter in the centre of the French city of Béziers, near to buildings of historic value (les Ecole de le Maddalene) and new buildings in steel and glass.

This important and rather interesting project abroad required substantial technical, logistics and organisational activities.
The demolition work was carried out using a tracked excavator with a 30 m long boom fitted with a hydraulic grabber (2 ton multiutilty), tracked excavator with hydraulic grabber and/or hydraulic crusher and a tracked excavator fitted with a sorter and/or loading bucket.
The purely demolition work was only carried out following the careful removal of asbestos cement items present inside the buildings in order to prevent unnecessary environmental pollution.
