Industrial demolition projects: the data behind each job

In September 2024 we launched interactive pages on the website for our industrial demolition projects. These demolition project pages bring together the photos and key data of each job in one place, so you can see how a job like yours was carried out before you commission your own.

What does each project page show?

The idea was to show our work with data, not just photos. Each page includes:

  • The key figures: height, volume or number of units, duration and recycling rate.
  • The challenges of the job: a live production environment, waste, deadlines or safety restrictions.
  • The technical solution: dismantling method, equipment used and how the materials were handled.
  • Photos of the site at the start, during the work and at the end.

Which industrial demolition projects were the first to get a page?

Industrial storage tank

A 30-metre-high, 1,410 m³ tank at a chemical plant, dismantled in 15 days with 100% recycling. It stands out for the precision of the dismantling alongside live installations and for the handling of the chemical residues left inside it. See the storage tank project.

RTG 03 and RTG 07 port cranes

Two 25-metre cranes at a commercial port, dismantled in 10 days without interfering with port operations and with 100% recycling. See the port crane project.

Which project pages are available now?

The projects section has grown since then. These are the six pages published so far:

If you want to compare the six projects and understand what made each result possible, we look at them in detail in our industrial demolition case studies.

How can they help you plan a demolition?

They give you a realistic idea of the scope and of the questions worth raising from the outset: whether the plant will keep running, what waste there may be, what timescale is reasonable and how much of the material can be recycled. If your facility is similar to one of these projects, mention it when you ask for an assessment and we’ll build on that experience.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I find the project pages?

On the industrial demolition page, in the projects section. Each one has its own web address, so you can link to it or send it to your team.

Can I ask for an assessment of a similar project?

Yes. Tell us which installation you want removed and what kind of environment it is in. We’ll reply within 48 working hours to arrange the site survey, which is the step before the quote.

Do the pages name the client?

No. The pages show the sector, the figures and the working method, but they don’t identify the client or the exact location of the job.
