This article details how we executed this project with precision and efficiency, highlighting our expertise in residential house demolition and site preparation services in Durban.
Project Scope and Requirements
Chelsea School required urgent assistance in clearing an old residential building located on their grounds. The structure needed to be removed quickly so construction could begin on a new astro field. They chose Durban Demolition due to our track record in delivering fast, safe, and effective residential house demolition services.
The full scope of work included:
- Demolition of the house structure
- Safe and environmentally responsible rubble removal
- Land grading and levelling to prepare for the new development
Our team was on-site promptly and fully equipped to handle each stage of the project.
Fast and Controlled Demolition Using Our 21-Tonne Excavator
Our experienced operators used a 21-tonne excavator to take down the residential building efficiently. Thanks to the machine’s power and precision, we completed the demolition in a single day.
We followed strict safety protocols throughout the process to ensure:
- No damage occurred to nearby school facilities
- Dust was controlled using water spray methods
- The site remained secure and accessible only to authorised personnel
This quick and safe residential house demolition ensured minimal disruption to the school’s ongoing operations and nearby residents.
Rubble Removal and Site Preparation
After the structure was demolished, the focus shifted to rubble removal and site levelling. All debris from the house, including bricks, concrete, and roofing materials, was cleared using our trucks and bobcats. We separated recyclable materials and transported the rest to approved disposal facilities.
Once the area was cleared, we used our equipment to:
- Level the land
- Compact the soil for construction readiness
- Create a flat, safe base for the installation of the new astro field
