Industrial Demolition

Industrial Demolition & Decommissioning

Licensed industrial demolition for manufacturing facilities, warehouses, factories, chemical plants and metal fabrication workshops across Brisbane, Gold Coast and Queensland — managing hazards well beyond asbestos and lead with disciplined, experienced control.

Overview

Hazards beyond asbestos and lead

Industrial sites introduce chemical contamination, pressurised plant and equipment, heavy structural elements and complex utility infrastructure — all of which require disciplined, experienced management.

Our licensed team holds a Queensland Demolition Licence, an A-Class Asbestos Removal Licence and QBCC registration. We work alongside structural engineers, environmental consultants and safety specialists to deliver compliant, efficient outcomes.

Our services

Full-scope industrial demolition

Full facility demolition

Structures, concrete slabs, machinery bases, below-ground services, tanks and silos — from pre-demolition audit to cleared and levelled site.

Plant & equipment decommissioning

Electrical isolation, gas purging, chemical decontamination and mechanical disconnection, coordinated with your maintenance and engineering teams.

Contaminated site demolition

Working alongside EPA-accredited environmental consultants to develop a contaminated land management plan prior to demolition.

Structural — concrete, steel, masonry

Engineered demolition sequences for large-span tilt-panel, structural steel and masonry using excavators, high-reach equipment and concrete processors.

Environmental management

Where approvals and contamination apply

  • Historical use review

    We review the site’s history to identify likely contamination and approval requirements under the Environmental Protection Act 1994 (Qld).

  • EPA notifications

    Depending on contamination, EPA notifications or approvals may be required. We advise during project planning.

  • Hazardous waste tracking

    All hazardous materials are managed by licensed handlers under waste-tracking manifests and disposed of at EPA-approved facilities.

  • Air monitoring on friable work

    Industrial asbestos — particularly pipe lagging — is friable. Our A-Class licence covers all categories, with air monitoring throughout removal.

Hazardous materials

Industrial buildings carry a broader hazard profile

Our pre-demolition audit identifies all relevant materials; we engage licensed specialists for streams beyond our direct scope.

  • Asbestos — pipe lagging, insulation boards, roof sheeting, flashings
  • Lead paint on structural steel, tanks and equipment
  • Hydraulic fluids, lubricants and chemical residues
  • PCBs in transformers and capacitors
  • Mercury in gauges and lighting
  • Fuel and oil storage — underground and above-ground tanks
Common questions

Industrial demolition questions

Often yes. Depending on the historical use of the site and the presence of contamination, EPA notifications or approvals may be required under the Environmental Protection Act 1994 (Qld). We advise on this during the project planning phase.

Yes. We have experience demolishing buildings within active industrial estates and work closely with precinct managers on traffic, access, noise and vibration management.

All hazardous materials are managed by licensed handlers under waste-tracking manifests and disposed of at EPA-approved facilities. We provide full disposal documentation.

Yes. Industrial asbestos — particularly pipe lagging (friable) and roof sheeting — is a core part of our work. Our A-Class licence covers all categories, and we conduct air monitoring throughout all friable removal.
