I think they're clearing everything out that shouldn't be in there, so they can get an overall picture of what needs doing. Much like when renovating an old house or summat.
Skanska will have done a risk assessment beforehand I should think.

I'm sure they will have but its an assessment of risk and I doubt they can say its zero. One large area of the side of the shaft is known to have sheared away.

So how does one go about removing it? It can't be all mechanical can it?
