Wanting a building demolished? Looking for recycled timber for a renovation project? Look no further than Southern Demolition.
For almost 20 years the name of Southern Demolition has been synonymous with demolition and timber rejuvenation in Christchurch and the South Island.
Southern Demolition handles a wide range of contracts and has been involved in projects as diverse as stripping out the Pukeuri freezing works after fire damage to demolishing the Palmerston North Hospital. Other big demolition projects include dismantling the large Blenheim Road Placemakers site, the corner Hallenstein's site in Cashel Mall, the site of Turners & Growers, Countdown Moorhouse Ave, Ashburton Wool Mills and the Tivoli Building in Christchurch's Cathedral Square.
With its wide range of complex and expensive plant and machinery, Southern Demolition is able to deliver cost-effective solutions for the most complicated demolition projects. It has one of the most up to date fleets within the demolition industry. Equipment available ranges from 12 tonne to 40 tonne diggers, and concrete crushing plant and attachments including a high-reach attachment 17 metres long that can reach up to five stories high. The depth of our resources and skills enables us to handle difficult and unforeseen challenges.
Demolition is no longer a case of a wrecking ball and a trip to the dump. Today's environmental concerns mean demolition projects are carefully managed to recycle as much of the building material as possible. Southern Demolition has a commitment to preserving the environment and has invested in equipment to reduce the amount of waste that goes to the landfill. An increasing demand for rare native timber means careful recycling and re-machining makes many types of timber available for the restoration market.
When it comes to the skills needed to preserve the frontage of heritage buildings, Southern Demolition has completed projects that have required the front façade and other sections of the building to remain in place.
Our reputation continues to generate demand for our services, with many major contracts acquired through the recommendation of leading names in the construction and civil industries. With the high level of skill and experience of our personnel, Southern Demolition has the confidence to take on large projects knowing that the job will be done correctly, safely and on time.
Southern Demolition is a member of the New Zealand Demolition Contractors Association and its staff is involved in the process of qualifying for the National Certificate in Demolition Operations.
