Some dismantling and demolition projects can be completed in a day whilst some can take place over a series of months. No matter the size of the project, there are always several components that comprise the foundation of our process – these include our site visits and assessments, preparation of quotes and RAMS, confirmation of values for insurance purposes, and the execution and management of our project operations. Below is a typical outline of a basic dismantling and demolition project from start to finish.

      Dismantling and Demolition Safety

      At Synergy Lifting, we always treat safety as the number one priority and this is especially important for our dismantling and demolition projects. All of our dismantling and demolition projects are carried out under CDM regulations with a strict attention to detail. As with our other works, the initial step is for our team to devise a through method statement and risk assessment (RAMS) with a detailed outline of how the works will be carried out and a thorough investigation into potential risks. Our dismantling and demolition team do not cut corners and we will often opt to use non-destructive dismantling techniques in order to maintain structural integrity during our operations.

      Dismantling and Demolition Capabilities

      Synergy Lifting can assist you whether you have an entire site to clear, a plant to dispose of, or just a single structure to come down. Our dismantling and demolition projects division work across the UK and our skilled, competent workforce have experience working in various sectors. We provide a safe dismantling and demolition project from start to finish and as registered waste carriers we can dispose of waste in an environmentally friendly manner. Our dismantling and demolition team can provide many services such as dismantling steel buildings and re-erecting them at another site or just simply demolishing small commercial buildings or other types of structures.

      Dismantling and Demolition Cost

      All of our dismantling and demolition projects are carefully costed based on the specifics of your site. Often, our team are able to give an indicative cost if you are only in the planning stages. Our dismantling and demolition projects division take pride in being able to offer a full package service which helps reduce project costs, streamline project coordination, and give you peace of mind. We have our own specialist plant and equipment which allows us to take on difficult projects and keep costs low for our clients and we are able to use our experience to devise efficient working methods to reduce both timescales and costs whilst maintaining high levels of safety.
