The demolition of Irvine's high flats has been explained in fine detail.
But there is no set date for the tower blocks to be pulled down or how long the demolition will take.
A report submitted by Clancy Consulting to North Ayrshire Council states that the five Fullarton flats will be razed by mechanical means, rather than one that would involve explosives.
A 70m ultra high reach excavator will claw the majority of the iconic 14-storey structures to the ground.
And when the buildings have been scythed back to five storeys a standard arm will be used and will be assisted by standard reach 360 machine.
The report from the chartered consulting civil and structural engineers firm reads: "The structures will initially be demolished using the high reach Hitachi machine fitted with its specialist 3600 hydraulic pulveriser attachment.
"The structure is naturally divided into structural bays; these bays are derived from the natural construction of the structure.
"Dust suppression is fitted to the high reach machine with its water jets pointed at the pulverising jaw so that dust is suppressed at source.
"Additional dust suppression will be used in the form of water sprays directed at the working area."
All asbestos and any other hazardous materials will be identified and removed from the site by appropriate methods, the report also states. And all salvageable materials will be stripped by hand or by an excavator working internally and set aside for re-cycling.
Throughout demolition operations, water sprays will be utilised to minimise dust.
The works will also oversee the demolition of the concierge building and lock-up garages too.
And a 2.4m high solid timber fencing will be erected around the site and warning signs posted around the perimeter.
