Mosaic stadium demolition project

ivor wynne stadium

A 70' demolition equipped high reach excavator was used to dismantle tall stadium structures, starting with the West and South stands and progressing to the East stands. Excavators with shears processed metal from the structure. Special precautions were taken for challenging areas like the East and North stands, which extended over roadways. Traffic control measures were implemented with spotters in place. The project had a tight schedule due to sports events but was completed ahead of time, ensuring minimal disruption.

The successful demolition of Mosaic Stadium, once the cherished home of the Saskatchewan Roughriders, reached its conclusion with the safe dismantling of the West Stands through a controlled collapse. This remarkable event captivated the attention of a captivated crowd hailing from Regina. The team involved was deeply gratified to play a pivotal role in this significant and historic project.
