Industrial and Commercial Demolition

Demolition profile

Heavy industrial experience.

We hold a current unrestricted demolition licence and have two experienced demolition supervisors, each with more than 30 years of experience.

The following projects summarise work undertaken by our supervisors across heavy industrial structures, process plants, power generation, substations and conveying infrastructure.

Sample project experience

Demolition record

Project	Description	Supervisor
Demolition of No. 2 Open Hearth Building (BHP)	Removal and scrapping of 18,000 tonnes of heavy steel from a major BHP building. The two-year project used cranes over 100 tonnes, a 75-tonne excavator with shears, controlled felling of massive crane runway girders and manual scrapping of heavy sections.	Mario Aiello
Demolition of Bradford Breaker	Removal and scrapping of 2,000 tonnes of heavy structural steel. The four-month project consisted of explosive felling of the breaker building, followed by scrapping with shears and oxy torches and lances.	Dominic Monteleone
Demolition of Tallawarra Power Station	Removal and disposal of 17,000 tonnes of steel and 30,000 tonnes of concrete. The two-and-a-half-year project included explosive felling of the two main stacks, mechanical and manual scrapping of steel, and crushing and grading concrete for select fill.	Mario Aiello
Demolition of South Bulli Washery (NRE Gurgratt)	Removal and disposal of 1,200 tonnes of structural steel and mechanical equipment. The 12-month project included the on-sale of reusable equipment and classification and scrapping for ferrous alloys.	Dominic Monteleone
Demolition of Yass Substation (Transgrid)	Removal and disposal of approximately 20 acres of high-voltage switchyard. The 26-week project involved controlled dismantling of overhead conductors, switchgear and transformers, and disposal of PCB-contaminated equipment.	Dominic Monteleone
Demolition of Skyline Conveyors (PKCT)	Preparation, explosive demolition and scrapping of a 30-metre-high skyline conveyor at the Port Kembla Coal Terminal.	Mario Aiello

Demolition works

Planning, separation and recovery.

Switchyard materials being dismantled and separated — A section of switchyard being dismantled. Materials were handled with an excavator and grabs, segregated by type and stockpiled in barricaded areas for out-loading. Scrap included steel, plain copper, insulated copper cable and high-grade aluminium conductors.

South Bulli washery dismantling — The South Bulli washery was dismantled in sections using our own cranage for most lifts, with Boom Logistics used for heavier components.

Explosive demolition of a skyline conveyor at Port Kembla — The explosive demolition of the Port Kembla Coal Terminal skyline conveyor required detailed planning. The exclusion zone included portions of Port Kembla Harbour with assistance from NSW Police.

Plant and controls

Equipped for controlled work.

We currently own three mobile cranes ranging from 8 to 50 tonnes, two boom lifts up to 76 feet, and a 12-tonne excavator with hammer and grapples. Equipment is maintained and carries the relevant registrations and inspections described in our original demolition profile.

Project safety plans, risk assessments and safe work method statements have been developed and implemented on demolition projects undertaken by the company.

The skyline conveyor structure stood more than 30 metres tall and was approximately 320 metres long. In total, 450 tonnes of structural steel was processed and sold as part of the contract. Preparation and execution were carried out with an experienced explosive demolition contractor.
