Thompsons of Prudhoe Reaches Major Milestone on Gateshead Flyover Demolition Project

Our team has successfully completed Phase Two of the specialist demolition works for BAM, safely demolishing the five southern bridges over an intensive 20-day programme of coordinated day and night shifts.

To date, we’ve demolished, processed and removed approximately 19,600 tonnes of material, with a continued focus on safety, efficiency and responsible material management throughout.

Works have now progressed to the southern abutment before entering the next phase, which will see a further 15,000 tonnes of structure demolished, processed and removed.

A huge thank you to everyone involved. This milestone reflects the expertise, teamwork and commitment of our demolition, earthworks, processing and logistics teams, working alongside Gateshead Council and BAM to deliver this significant infrastructure project safely and efficiently.
