Demolition works

Demolition is more than tearing down. It is planning, controlling and safely handing over — often under time pressure and next to installations that simply keep running. That is what DCC is known for: the discipline of the petrochemical sector, applied to every demolition job, from a complete factory to an entire residential block in the middle of the city.

What we demolish

• Total demolition of factories, industrial halls and process installations
• Complete residential blocks, apartment buildings and hospitals
• Demolition at height and in confined spaces
• Removal of foundations, floors and site paving
• Cutting, breaking and sawing with specialised equipment
• Renovation and strip-out demolition, also in buildings that stay in use

Complete demolition, right in the city

Our heart lies with the big jobs: complete residential blocks, apartment buildings and healthcare real estate such as hospitals — often in the middle of a densely built neighbourhood. That is exactly where everything comes together: phased release of buildings, residents and traffic a few metres away, and adjacent buildings that simply stay in use. We plan the demolition around all of that, with buffer buildings, structural reinforcements and tight control of vibration, dust and noise.

The Afrikaanderwijk in Rotterdam proves this works: there we demolished around 600 homes in one of the busiest neighbourhoods of the city — including asbestos removal and with maximum reuse of materials.

Why DCC makes the difference

One point of contact for the whole process, top equipment and a team that spots bottlenecks before they become delays. Safety is not a tick-box for us but the standard — whether it is a Seveso plant or a warehouse around the corner. The bar is equally high everywhere, and you notice that in both the pace and the handover.

We separate released materials and reuse them wherever possible — read more about our circular demolition.
