Structural demolition is the complete removal of a building or structure, including load-bearing elements, foundations, and subgrade materials. It requires engineered planning, heavy equipment, and strict safety oversight.

We assess the structure’s condition, materials, load paths, utility connections, environmental risks, and surrounding constraints. Based on those findings, we develop a demolition plan that defines the sequence, equipment, safety controls, and engineering requirements.

Yes. Melching manages all demolition permits, environmental testing coordination, utility disconnects, and compliance documentation. We also follow strict recycling, disposal, and dust control standards.

In many cases, yes. With proper isolation, sequencing, and communication, we can demolish targeted areas of a site while other operations continue safely.

We demolish industrial plants, warehouses, factories, utility facilities, commercial buildings, hospitals, schools, and multi-building campuses.

Timelines vary based on building size, complexity, environmental requirements, and site conditions. Most projects range from several weeks to several months. We provide a detailed schedule after the initial assessment.

We sort, recycle, and document materials—including steel, concrete, brick, and non-hazardous debris. Salvageable materials are recovered, and all waste is hauled to approved facilities.

Yes. Melching performs complete foundation, slab, pit, and subgrade removal, along with backfilling and site grading to prepare the site for redevelopment.

Yes. We specialize in engineered takedowns of deteriorated, fire-damaged, or structurally compromised buildings. Safety planning and engineering review are built into the process.

Helpful materials include site access details, building drawings (if available), environmental reports, utility information, and project goals. We conduct a site walk to confirm conditions before final pricing.
