Demolition of Pavilion and Part of Grosvenor House with Optional Bentink House Works

About

Gloucester City Council awarded a contract to Wye Valley Demolition for the demolition of the Pavilion and part of Grosvenor House, including a section of the Bus Station canopy, with contractor-designed elements to make good the exposed ends of Grosvenor House and the Bus Station canopy.

The works required effective coordination to keep the surrounding public thoroughfare, bus station, and retail shops operational throughout, avoiding obstruction or delays to vehicles, pedestrians, and other users.

The contract also included a priced option for the demolition of Bentink House, subject to budgets, which would require careful planning to maintain car park operations for as long as possible and minimise closure and income loss, with contractor design elements for making good the exposed end of Bruton Way car park, including vehicle and pedestrian restraints and the design and installation of a fire escape stairwell following the closure of the stairwell in Bentink House.

The contract value was £179,850.
