Demolition of the wired society - NEC Acton

The NEC offices in Acton are being demolished, to be replaced by student housing and apartments and a small public garden. It was a building of reinforced concrete, so it had to be torn apart by hammering and pulling with huge claws. The building had a variety of power cables, data cables and reinforcing rods so the demolition exposed a mass of wires.
