Our Demolition Solutions

Here’s how each task in the construction and demolition field is typically carried out:

House Demolition

Houses are demolished by first removing hazardous materials, and then dismantling utilities like gas and electricity.

Site Clearing and Preparation

This involves removing all debris, levelling the ground, and preparing the site for future construction.

Flooring Removal

Old flooring is stripped away using tools like jackhammers or floor strippers, depending on the material.

Debris Removal

After demolition, debris is collected, sorted, and transported away from the site for disposal or recycling.

Garage Removal

Similar to house demolition but on a smaller scale, garages are removed by dismantling the structure and safely disposing of the debris.

Interior Strip-Outs

The inside of a building is cleared of all non-structural elements like drywall, fixtures, and flooring to prepare for renovation or complete demolition.

Warehouse Demolition

Large machinery is used to demolish warehouses, focusing on safely bringing down large spans and handling the resultant debris.

Wall and Partition Removal

Non-load bearing walls and partitions are manually or mechanically removed as part of renovation or remodelling projects.

Retail Space Demolition

Often part of a renovation project, this includes interior strip-outs, removing fixtures, and demolishing any unwanted walls or extensions.

Office Building Demolition

This involves a larger-scale operation using high-reach excavators and sometimes controlled explosions, followed by sorting and recycling of materials.

Shed and Outbuilding Removal

These smaller structures are removed by manually dismantling or using small machinery, ensuring that the foundation is also cleared if necessary.

Site Cleanup and Preparation

The site is thoroughly cleaned and prepared for its next use, which might include grading, soil preparation, and any necessary environmental remediation.

Types of Demolition Process

Here is a list of demolition process that our experts can carry out:

  • Selective Demolition

    This involves the careful removal of specific parts of a building while preserving the remaining structure. It's often used for renovation projects where certain elements need to be preserved.

  • Interior Demolition

    This type focuses on the removal of interior components, such as walls, ceilings, and floors, while leaving the exterior structure intact. It's commonly used for remodelling and repurposing spaces within existing buildings.

  • Implosion Demolition

    Controlled explosions are used to bring down large structures quickly and efficiently. This method is often employed for tall buildings or structures in urban areas where space is limited.

  • Mechanical Demolition

    Heavy machinery, such as excavators, bulldozers, and wrecking balls, is used to tear down buildings. This method is suitable for structures of various sizes and is one of the most common forms of demolition.

  • Deconstruction

    This method involves the careful disassembly of a building to preserve materials for reuse or recycling. It is more labour-intensive and time-consuming but environmentally friendly.

  • Crane and Ball Demolition

    Also known as wrecking ball demolition, this method uses a crane to swing a large, heavy ball into the structure, causing it to collapse. It's an older technique primarily used for masonry buildings.

  • Explosive Demolition

    Similar to implosion, this involves using explosives to strategically weaken a structure so it collapses. It's typically used for large industrial structures, such as smokestacks and bridges.

  • Hydraulic Demolition

    This technique uses high-pressure water jets to cut through concrete and steel. It's a precise method often used for tasks requiring minimal vibrations and dust, such as in sensitive environments.

  • Manual Demolition

    Hand tools are used to dismantle a structure. This method is labour-intensive and usually employed for small-scale projects or when working in confined spaces where machinery cannot be used.
