Renovating industrial spaces, modernising old industrial zones or building new plants almost always starts with demolishing worn-out factories and steel structures. Industrial demolition belongs to the highest category of complexity, because it involves massive concrete blocks, heavy steel trusses and often dangerous heights.
Deconstruct carries out professional demolition of factories, hangars, warehouses and steel structures of any type using modern technology and heavy machinery.
The technology of demolishing industrial sites
Large production buildings cannot be dismantled with standard construction tools. The process calls for a specialised approach:
Heavy and special cutting equipment
To take apart combined steel-and-concrete structures we use latest-generation heavy excavators fitted with hydraulic shears and hydraulic breakers. High-precision plasma and gas cutting equipment lets us cut steel trusses and columns at height into safe segments and dismantle them that way.
Sorting materials and recycling
One of the main advantages of industrial demolition is the economic value of the materials. Deconstruct plans the work so that usable materials are preserved as far as possible:
- Ferrous and non-ferrous metals: cut to standard sizes for onward sale, storage or delivery for recycling.
- Concrete structures: can be crushed on site with special mobile equipment (a crusher) and reused as secondary construction material (for example, as road base).
Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
Can a steel structure be dismantled so that it can be reassembled?
Yes, this is called “controlled dismantling”. Our engineers carefully undo and label the structural joints (bolted or welded connections) so that the steel elements can be reassembled at another site.
What environmental standards apply when demolishing a factory?
The soil and the surrounding area must be protected from industrial waste (oils, chemicals, asbestos). Deconstruct strictly follows environmental regulations and ensures hazardous substances are safely contained.
