How do you manage complex structural demolition?

Complex projects are planned with engineered dismantling sequences, structural engineer input and temporary works design where required. Full RAMS and Construction Phase Plans are produced before any works commence.

Do you work on below-ground and basement structures?

Yes — basement demolition, culvert removal, underground tank demolition and below-ground infrastructure removal are core capabilities, including groundwater management and temporary shoring.

Can you handle contaminated concrete and hazardous materials?

Yes — industrial and civil engineering sites frequently contain contaminated concrete, asbestos and other hazardous materials. We manage all surveys, removal, documentation and disposal within the programme.
