Workers dismantle structural steel and reinforced materials during the demolition of the former IBM Office Park at 70 Rivonia Road, Sandhurst, Johannesburg. Wearing protective helmets and high-visibility clothing, the demolition crew uses gas-cutting equipment to separate steel components amid a vast accumulation of concrete, masonry, reinforcing steel and building debris.
The photograph captures the labour-intensive side of large-scale demolition, with workers carefully processing structural materials for removal and recycling. The former IBM campus consisted of interconnected two- and three-storey commercial buildings, with the demolition requiring carefully controlled methods because sections of the structures were positioned above a retained basement parking slab.
