The final stages of the demolition of Aberdeen City Council’s former headquarters will take place over the next few days.
Only a pile of rubble will lie on the site of the former 13-storey St Nicholas House, in Broad Street, by Thursday.
What remains of the building is about to disappear before the eyes of city workers, shoppers, and commuters, as two specialised structural demolition machines are deployed.
People outwith the city will be able to watch proceedings via webcam, which can be accessed through the council’s website.
As one machine dismantles the remaining walls, another will break it up into a pile of tiny stones and bricks.
An extensive site clearance operation will then get underway, which is scheduled to be complete by the middle of next month.
This week’s work will require Broad Street to be closed overnight, from 7pm to 6am, between Union Street and Upperkirkgate, tonight, tomorrow, and Wednesday.
Traffic will be diverted via Gallowgate, Littlejohn Street, West North Street, King Street and Castle Street.
The site is to be transformed into a new £107million Marischal Square – a public space free of cars and buses where people can walk between shops and restaurants.
