![]() ![]() Demolition Process
The more modern method of demolition is to “walk through” a site utilising excavators to level the structure as it moves through the property. This results in all potentially recyclable material being mixed in with waste and ending in landfill. ecodemolition™ employs an alternative method of demolition, this process is designed specifically to maximise materials able to be salvaged from site and minimise output that ends as landfill. ecodemolition™ moves in large excavators to level what is left of the structure only after a dedicated and delicate process of removal has been carried out by a smaller fleet of skid steers and other specialised equipment with the ability to ensure good separation of salvageable products. Smaller equipment such as skid steers work through the following process. Step 1. Roof tiles removed & palletised and re-sold Step 2. Ceiling timbers & beams removed and re-sold Step 3. Bricks recovered and cleaned to be made available through ecobricks Step 4. Timber and trusses separated and those elements not recyclable are mulched. Step 5. Steel and metal recycled Step 6. Concrete crushed and recycled Step 7. Mature plants and other salvageable plants removed off site and transplanted for resale. Step 8. Levelling of shell with excavator. Phase 2 Excavation |
