Factors considered critical to project success include the mitigation of risk associated with fire sparks from cutting of steel given the overgrown grassed area within which the work site located and the waterfront location with consistent winds.

The project team was also aware that gas (from fuel), which could be found in tanks or pipes that had been redundant for some time, also posed a safety risk. As a precaution, a gas monitor was used to check gas levels both in tanks and pipes and ensure risks of explosion were eliminated.

A total of 788.100 tonnes of metal was recovered from the site during demolition and subsequently removed to appropriate recycling and disposal facilities.
