“We offer our clients solutions that are economical, rapid, and risk-averse,” comments junior project engineer, Nontobeko Zwane. These projects often involve the removal of critically compromised structural steel structures and elements, recovery of undamaged client assets, and demolition of plant buildings and offices. The company also conducts clean-up operations that reduce hazardous contaminant levels on the demolished elements to recycle and reuse materials.
Demolition projects are highly mechanised to ensure safety. The equipment used depends on the site conditions. This could range from a one-tonne skid steer loader to a 102-tonne high-reach excavator, paired with the ideal demolition shear, grapple, hammer or bucket as required.
Accommodating live services that might be compromised within the demolition works area and the associated structural elements that must remain undamaged, are some of the main challenges posed by demolition projects. “This is where our proven experience in large and in large-scale and technically-challenging projects speaks on our behalf,” highlights Zwane.
