Scaffolding up on unstable Rouge Bouillon building

Contractor Jersey Demolition Company has taken over the site

Scaffolding has gone up at Rouge Bouillon as part of a complex four-step plan towards getting the road reopened after Easter.

The building on the corner with Clarendon Road was left at risk of collapse because of a sink-hole in mid-December. 

Contractor Jersey Demolition Company has taken over the site of 28 Clarendon Road to install steel strapping to secure the property.

Several adjacent walls and buildings are severely cracked and have moved significantly following the burst water main and the void under the street.

A four-step plan was devised three weeks ago in early February, of which the installation of steel strapping is the first part.

Step 3 - The external structures and boundary walls will be demolished

Step 4 - Rouge Bouillon will be re-opened once it has been determined that it is safe to do so

Routes and closures around the sink-hole site

Rouge Bouillon continues to remain closed as the work continues, and other routes are affected, causing significant delays and disruption on the St Helier ring road.
