Induced collapse and mechanical demolition methodologies for removal of various industrial structures – Train Loading Bin; Skyline Conveyors; Coal Processing Plant & Ultra Fines Building; Transfer & Tipper Tower; Reclaim Tunnels; ROM Bin & Wall; Light Tower; and Train Parking Bay
Site specific work plans designed to accommodate unique safety and environmental attributes for successful execution of induced fells and tunnel excavations
Key Challenges
Demolition of two Reclaim Tunnels (90m and 140m long) required extensive excavations, heavily reinforced concrete removal, and careful management of contaminated materials
Induced collapse of major structures (up to 35m high) involved strict wind limits, complex pre-cut sequencing, unstable ground conditions, and restricted access for 120T excavator
Demolition works adjacent to 11kV live services required strict isolation procedures, enhanced safety controls, and spotter supervision
