Mechanical demolition employs heavy-equipment attachments—hydraulic shears, crushers, multi-processors—to dismantle structures piece by piece. Unlike implosive or wrecking-ball methods, our approach delivers pinpoint accuracy, minimizes vibration and noise, and reduces collateral damage to surrounding areas.
| Scenario | What We Do |
|---|---|
| Industrial facility decommissioning | Shear down steel tanks and piping with hydraulic tools |
| Concrete slab removal | Pulverize slabs to aggregate-sized rubble |
| Structural steel frame removal | Cut beams with precision shears for safe extraction |
| Selective interior deconstruction | Strip out walls, mezzanines, and fixtures without full teardown |
| Confined-space demolition | Use compact multi-processors to work in tight footprints |
| Phase | Action | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Site Assessment | Survey structure, utility lines, hazards | Plan precise cuts, avoid surprises |
| 2. Permit Coordination | Secure permits from City & County agencies | Legal compliance, zero project delays |
| 3. Equipment Mobilization | Stage excavators & attachments on-site | Fast, ready to work |
| 4. Mechanical Tear-Down | Systematic shearing, crushing, and sorting | Controlled removal, minimal dust |
| 5. Debris Management | On-site crushing & container loading | 95% recycling, reduced landfill fees |
| 6. Final Inspection | Walkthrough, site cleanup, client sign-off | Site ready for next construction |
| Equipment | Use |
|---|---|
| Hydraulic Shears | Cut structural steel beams & rebar |
| Concrete Pulverizers | Crush concrete slabs into reusable aggregate |
| Multi-Processor Attachments | Rapid tool change for shearing, crushing, grappling |
| Compact Excavators | Access tight indoor/outdoor work zones |
| Dust-Suppression Systems | Water-mist nozzles for OSHA-compliant controls |
| Factor | Low | High |
|---|---|---|
| Material Density | Light steel framing | Reinforced concrete & masonry |
| Access & Logistics | Open lot, level grade | Confined, multi-story interior |
| Project Size | <1,000 ft² structure | >10,000 ft² industrial facility |
| Waste Handling | Standard roll-off bins | On-site crushing & sorting |
Ballpark Rates:
– Hydraulic shear work: $50–$85/ton
– Concrete pulverizing: $10–$20/yd³
– Multi-processor demolition: $120–$180/hr
| City/County | Requirement | Rocky’s Role |
|---|---|---|
| Denver | Demolition permit + noise variance | We handle application & variance requests |
| Aurora | Dust control & stormwater plan | Provide water-mist and silt fencing |
| Arvada | Structural survey & safety inspection | Supply engineer’s report, coordinate inspectors |
| Colorado Springs | Traffic control permit | Develop traffic management plan |
| Material | Outcome |
|---|---|
| Concrete & Masonry | Crushed on-site → class II aggregate |

Q: What makes mechanical demolition safer than explosives?
A: Controlled cutting generates less vibration, no flying debris, and no need for large exclusion zones.
Q: Can you work inside occupied buildings?
A: Yes—our compact attachments and dust controls allow selective demolition in occupied or adjacent spaces.
Q: How long does it take to demolish a 5,000 ft² concrete slab?
A: Typically 1–2 days, including crushing and debris removal.
Q: Will you help with site restoration?
A: We can grade, compact, and prep your site for new construction or landscaping.
Q: Are you fully licensed and insured in Colorado?
A: Absolutely—Rocky Demolition carries full Colorado demolition licenses, general liability, and workers’ comp.
