Why Professional Structural Demolition Matters

Demolishing a commercial or structural asset is inherently complex. The process must protect neighboring structures and utilities, control dust and noise, manage hazardous materials, and coordinate heavy equipment and traffic. Improper demolition can lead to property damage, personal injury, environmental violations, and project delays. Engaging a qualified contractor with demolition-specific knowledge ensures controlled execution, accurate disposal streams, and documentation needed for redevelopment and regulatory compliance.

Our Oil Field Decommissioning Services — Detailed Capabilities

Selective Demolition

- Interior gutting for tenant improvements, selective removal of structural elements to accommodate additions, and coordinated utility disconnections to maintain building functionality where required.

Full Building Demolition

- Planned implosion/blast coordination only when permitted and appropriate; otherwise, mechanical dismantling using excavators, hydraulic shears, and cranes to remove structures safely.

Foundation and Slab Removal

-  Partial or complete foundation and slab removal to grade for redevelopment, including concrete crushing and recycling where practical.

Hazardous Material Handling & Abatement Coordination

- Inventory and removal of asbestos, lead, and other regulated materials via licensed abatement subcontractors and disposal at permitted facilities.

Dust & Noise Control

- Continuous dust suppression, sound mitigation measures, and scheduling to reduce impact in commercial or residential areas.


Salvage Operations & Asset Recovery

- Identification and staging of reusable equipment, architectural salvage, and metals for recycling, with reconciliation of salvage credits.


Site Restoration & Erosion Control

- Final grading, soil compaction, erosion control installation, and reseeding to meet site closure specifications.

How We Plan and Execute Structural Demolition Projects

  • Pre-Demolition Assessment: Structural analysis, hazardous materials survey, utility location, traffic considerations, and neighbor outreach define the work plan.
  • Permitting and Notifications: We secure demolition permits, arrange for utility disconnects, and notify local agencies and adjacent property owners about scheduled work.
  • Hazardous Abatement & Utility Isolation: Licensed abatement contractors remove or encapsulate hazardous materials, and utilities are locked out and disconnected per safety protocols.
  • Execution: Using a combination of mechanical, manual, and controlled methods, we execute demolition with daily safety briefings and inspections.
  • & Waste Segregation: Materials are sorted on-site into recyclables, salvage, and landfill-bound wastes to maximize value recovery and reduce disposal costs.
  • Clean-Up and Close-Out: Site cleared, final documentation provided, and any required post-demolition inspections facilitated.

Special Situations We Handle

Regulatory and Safety Considerations

We Buy Scrap LLC follows local building codes, OSHA demolition regulations, and environmental requirements. Our teams conduct pre-demolition notifications, air monitoring when needed for hazardous materials, and implement site perimeter protection to minimize dust and debris migration. Confined space, fall protection, and crane safety standards are strictly enforced. Where blasting is considered, we obtain necessary permits, perform pre-blast surveys, and use licensed blasting crews to manage risk.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How long does a typical commercial demolition take?

    Project timelines vary widely based on size, hazardous materials, salvage efforts, site access, and permitting. A small commercial building may be completed in days to weeks, while large industrial structures can take several months. During scoping, we provide realistic schedule estimates.


  • Do you handle asbestos and lead paint removal?

    We coordinate with licensed abatement contractors to ensure removal and disposal of regulated materials prior to demolition, and we manage the sequence to avoid project delays.


  • Can you work around active businesses?

    Yes. We specialize in selective demolition and phased work to minimize disruption to ongoing operations, including night or weekend work if required.


  • How are salvage credits handled?

    Salvage materials are separated and valued based on weight and commodity type. Credits are applied per contract terms and reconciled after materials are processed.


  • What are the environmental protections during demolition?

    We employ dust suppression, silt fences, temporary groundwater controls if needed, and proper disposal of hazardous materials to protect the environment and meet regulatory requirements.
