Geraldo Rivera Acknowledges Building 7 Looks Like Demolition
This is when Geraldo finally acknowledged that Building 7 at least looks like a controlled demolition, just as most honest people with healthy perception will acknowledge too. But there are...

The expected demolition of up to 1000 Mr Fluffy homes across Canberra will reverberate around the city for years, not only as a massively expensive exercise but one with enormous complications and anguish writ large.
The homes are spread across the city, with Mr Fluffy's fingers reaching into the most prestigious and expensive streets and suburbs, including Forrest, Yarralumla and Reid, and touching not only the city's ordinary homes, but also homes worth millions of dollars and homes in heritage areas. It will take nerve, and not just financial, to demolish and rebuild such homes.
Single-brick homes, like the one demolished recently in the Woden Valley, can be taken down quite simply. It's a matter of removing internal walls, cleaning remaining asbestos fibres and sealing the interior, before pushing down the brick exterior. Once the cleaning and sealing is done, the demolition is very fast.

But double-brick homes are more difficult because the load-bearing wall is on the inside. The team is looking at whether there is a way to demolish them without having to "bubble-wrap" them, effectively enclosing them in a tent. This would allow the outside wall to be removed first, the asbestos cleaned and the surfaces sealed, before the load-bearing wall can be pushed over, but is clearly much more expensive.
Whichever way the homes come down, trucks laden with asbestos-contaminated building materials will be rumbling through the city to a dumping ground chosen to receive this ignominious legacy of the asbestos era.
An analysis of the homes shows the demolition will leave some streets scarred, with seven or more homes in some streets containing remnants of the loose-fill insulation.
The Canberra Times knows of one street with nine Mr Fluffy homes. Two streets have seven houses each; four streets have six houses each; four streets have five. It is clear Dirk Jansen,whose company installed the asbestos in the 1970s, went from door to door with the product, a pattern that has created pockets of contaminated homes.
The government must also decide what to do about the possibility of contaminated soil on properties where Mr Fluffy homes have been demolished (or burned in the 2003 bushfires) and rebuilt in the meantime.

BUILDINGS have begun to be demolished at BAE Systems in Barrow as part of a 300m-plus redevelopment programme that will transform the way it builds submarines.
The first major works have begun at BAE Systems Submarines in Barrow-in-Furness as part of its 300m+ redevelopment programme.
Demolition specialists are in the process of flattening certain disused buildings in what is the first significant phase of activity in the large-scale eight-year programme.
The sites old foundry and boiler shop are the first to be demolished, and it is anticipated that more than 90 per cent of materials such as timber, bricks, sandstone and metals will be recycled.
The demolition follows an announcement made in March by secretary of state for defence, Philip Hammond, in which he outlined the scope of the investment during an official visit to Barrow.
The programme will support the delivery of a successor to the Vanguard class submarines and will involve the construction of new, state-of-the-art facilities and the refurbishment of existing infrastructure, including:
an extension to the Devonshire Dock Hall construction facility to include a new state-of-the-art manufacturing and installation facility;
the refurbishment of the sites main fabrication facility, together with its existing plant and machinery;
an intention to build a 28,000m2 off-site logistics facility to store submarine parts and materials within the local area.

The third of those, the 7,400 tonne, 98-metre long Artful, was launched in May, ahead of sea trials in 2015.

Dublin City Council is to discontinue its policy of widespread demolition and reconstruction of its older flat complexes in favour of extensive renovation programmes which will see some smaller flats amalgamated to make larger homes.
Throughout the construction boom of the last decade the council pursued a housing regeneration policy which involved the demolition of estates and their redevelopment through public-private partnership deals with property developers.
While the council has redeveloped some complexes using public money, such as the recently completed Thornton Heights on the site of St Michaels estate in Inchicore, others, including ODevaney Gardens in Dublin 7, will not be redeveloped in the foreseeable future.
We cant afford wholesale demolition and rebuilding any more. And, as we have seen, that has the potential to destroy communities, the councils head of housing Dick Brady said.
Instead we will undertake a deep retrofitting of around 1,000 flats to bring them to the same standards as any new-built unit.
On a smaller scale deep-retrofitting has already been used to regenerate a senior citizens complex at Ballygall Road East in Glasnevin, where 80 bedsits have been amalgamated to create 38 larger one-bedroom apartments, all of which are wheelchair accessible.
This was done at a cost of less than 4 million and without the need for demolition.
