Sustainable Demolition Services: Salt Dome Decommissioning
At Shillibiers Ltd, we specialise in complex demolition projects, including the efficient removal of industrial structures such as this salt dome. Our team recently completed a high-precision demolition project, showcasing our commitment to structural safety, material recovery, and environmental sustainability.
The Demolition Process
Our approach to the dismantling of the old salt dome was systematic, ensuring maximum safety and operational efficiency throughout each phase:
Structural Pulverisation: We utilised heavy-duty plant (a crusher) to carefully pulverise the concrete-reinforced walls. This stage is critical for maintaining structural integrity during the collapse and minimising dust and debris migration.
Precision Metal Recovery: Following the demolition, we deployed a high-powered hydraulic magnet. This allows us to effectively separate the steel rebar from the concrete rubble. By extracting the metal onsite, we ensure a cleaner waste stream and prepare materials for immediate recycling.
On-site Crushing and Reuse: Sustainability is at the core of our operations at Shillibiers Ltd. The processed concrete was crushed down to 6F5 specification. By converting site waste into a certified secondary aggregate, we provided the customer with a high-quality, reusable material, significantly reducing their requirement for virgin aggregates and transportation costs.
