STRUCTURAL BUILDINGS
PRECISION BLASTING
Blasting is a powerful solution for dismantling large, steel-reinforced buildings and equipment structures that are either too hazardous or impractical to remove mechanically. These structures often feature massive framing systems, high elevations, or unique operational complexities. Demtech applies carefully planned explosive techniques to bring them down safely and efficiently, often within confined industrial environments. Common targets in this category include gantry cranes and coal unloaders.
GANTRY CRANE
Gantry cranes are towering steel structures used to move heavy materials across industrial sites, ports, and power plants. Their height, reach, and reinforced construction make mechanical takedown difficult and time-consuming. Blasting offers a faster, safer alternative, with sequences engineered to weaken support legs and control the direction of collapse—often within strict spatial limits.
COAL UNLOADER
Coal unloaders, often part of bulk material handling systems, feature complex steel superstructures with moving components and track systems. These structures are commonly situated along rivers for barge unloading, which creates access challenges for traditional demolition equipment due to limited staging areas, soft ground conditions, or environmental restrictions. Blasting allows for precise removal by isolating key supports and directing the collapse away from critical infrastructure or waterways. This method enables safe, efficient takedown even in locations where conventional equipment can't operate effectively.
