Controlled Demolition

The Breakthrough Group is fully licenced under the Work Health and Safety regulation 2011 to carry out demolition work.

Our capability for demolition includes the following:

• Minor integration works through to demolition of multi-story sites
• Experienced operators and demo supervisors
• Working in live operational environments
• Bridge Demolition

Our methodology is based on our extensive experience in controlled demolition, specialist concrete cutting and coring, and refurbishment strip out work that enables us to manage and / or eliminate health, safety and environmental risks.

The advantages of our controlled demolition methods are:

• That it eliminates the risk of damaging other structures as our approach does not fully rely on ramming or rock-breaking methods to remove large expanses of concrete or structure.
• Intensive manual labour can be used – this eliminates the use of noisy machinery in built up neighbourhoods and public environments.
• All structures can be cut into manageable sizes with a clean-as-you-go approach.
• Continuous management of waste – eliminates mess and safety risks, as well as protecting the project environment which is to remain or be reused.
• Floors, walkways and public access areas are able to be kept clear of rubbish and waste at all times.
• Specialised concrete cutting allows for an excellent cutting finish to walls and areas that need to be made good or integrated into new works.

We are very proud of our newest addition the electric excavator. Since it’s battery operated it’s quiet during operation and has zero emissions. It’s ideal for demolition or trenching indoors even if occupants are still in the complex. Our robot remote controlled Brokk also contributes to a unique way of demolition in confined spaces, where other equipment is too large.

We have the flexibility and resourcing to phase the works consistent with the Principal Contractor’s requirements.

Experienced staff resources include a dedicated on-site supervisor, labourers who possess, as a minimum, QLD Construction Industry OH&S Blue or White Cards, operators with EWP tickets and management and administrative staff to support the contract with appropriate documentation.

Should the project program change or the staging be modified, we are able to deploy extra staff as required to ensure that we meet any contractual deadlines.
