Overview

Focus Demolition successfully completed the full demolition of a 20m high five-storey building constructed of concrete, steel, and brick infill. The project presented significant challenges, including the presence of hazardous limpet asbestos fireproofing insulation on the structural steel throughout the building and the close proximity of the structure to a neighboring property, with a mere 20mm gap along an 80-meter shared boundary.

Asbestos Removal

One of the challenges we faced with this project was the presence of hazardous limpet asbestos fireproofing insulation on the structural steel throughout the building. Our experienced team meticulously removed all asbestos-containing material over an eight-week program prior to the structural demolition phase. By adhering to strict safety protocols and leveraging our extensive knowledge in handling hazardous materials, we completed the removal process without any incidents or exposure to third parties.

Heavy Duty Structural Demolition

Another critical aspect of this project was the building’s close proximity to a neighboring property, with a mere 20mm gap along an 80-meter shared boundary. We are strong advocates for minimising disruption to the neighboring tenants and ensuring the safety of the surrounding structures while undertaking heavy duty structural demolition work. Through precise planning and execution, we successfully completed the demolition without causing any interruptions to the neighbors or resulting in any cracking or damage to the adjacent buildings.

Results

Our successful completion of this complex demolition project highlights our ability to deliver exceptional results, even in challenging circumstances. By leveraging our expertise in safely removing hazardous materials and executing precise demolition techniques, we demolished the five-storey building without any incidents, disruptions to neighboring tenants, or damage to surrounding structures. This project underscores our commitment to safety, efficiency, and minimal environmental impact, further solidifying our reputation as a trusted leader in the demolition industry.
