Hello CMN members, I recognise some names on here and they'll probably recognise me too!.
Just incase you don't know me I'm from the frozen north, or in other words a small place 60 degrees north called Shetland.
Last year we had our first major offshore demolition project which was done by a company called Veolia and subcontracted to a company called Total Demolition Services. The biggest piece of kit they had was a brand new Liebherr 984c with LaBounty shear. Quite a monster and there were some cracks to be heard at times!.
Anyway, the project was finished last autumn 08 and the pad now lies silent with just a big pile of scrap metal left(some has been shipped away) but here's a small taste of what took place for 8-9 months of last year.

Hi Thorleif, and welcome!
Yes I recognise you, and don't feel too far away - my grandparents came from Orkney!
