Highlighting some of the biggest controlled explosions in the country - part of the fascinating earthworks needed to restore a vital hillside road link in Christchurch.
We take you inside the big sites you’ve never seen before - for the first time cameras show you the demolition of quake-damaged wharves at Wellington’s CentrePort, with specialist underwater cutting equipment imported from the United States.
You see how the iconic Lancaster Park in Christchurch is being taken apart, piece-by-piece, and a lot of it sold, recycled, and reused.
The focus is also on the characters who do this tough, gritty work.
From Dalton Ward of Auckland’s Ward Demolition - who once billed himself as “the youngest digger driver in the world” to Brazilian Sandro Deitos who with his team is bringing South American passion to the demolition and restoration work at Christchurch’s Wood Mill.
