Description:
The Gilpin Demolition team take on their longest bridge yet - the iconic Brunel constructed South Wales line spans the Loughor Estuary with a timber trestle 220 metre viaduct. With only 100 hours Gilpin had to demolish the viaduct so the new bridge could be slid into place for scheduled trains. An awesome feat of skilled demolition in harsh conditions, all over one of the most extreme tidal flows in the country.
