The knowledge, experience and expertise of our Demolition division covers a multitude of sectors including urban regeneration; defence; education; health care; military; oil and gas; pharmaceutical, retail and many more. With a focus on sustainability, the company ensures that existing structures are removed safely, all materials are recycled or reclaimed, and brownfield sites are restored to “new build” status.
One of the key strengths of our Demolition division is our experience and expertise in working with listed buildings and heritage environments. The company understands the importance of preserving the historical value of these sites while also ensuring that any necessary demolition or remediation work is conducted safely and efficiently.
Econ Group has always offered this service to core customers, but only over the last few years has this become ever more popular with taking brownfield sites and turning them into sites ready for future redevelopment.

Econ are equipped and experienced in all demolition techniques, including but not limited to the following;
Selective Demolition: In cases where only a portion of a building needs to be removed, selective demolition is employed. Skilled operators use heavy machinery, such as excavators or high-reach demolition machines, or hand demolition techniques to carefully dismantle specific sections while leaving the remaining structure intact. This method is common for renovations, refurbishments, or when adjacent structures must be preserved.
Hand Demolition: For smaller structures or areas with limited access, hand demolition is often employed. Skilled operatives use handheld tools like hand-held breakers, reciprocating saws and oxy propane cutting equipment to break down and remove the building piece by piece. This method is labour-intensive but provides precise control over the demolition process.
Deconstruction: Deconstruction is an environmentally friendly approach to demolition that focuses on salvaging and reusing materials. Skilled operatives carefully disassemble the building, salvaging valuable materials like timber, bricks, and metals for recycling or reuse. Deconstruction is gaining popularity in the UK due to its sustainability benefits and potential cost savings through material recovery.

Top Down: Top-down demolition is a method commonly employed in urban environments where space is limited and there is a need to minimise disruption to surrounding structures. In top-down demolition, the process begins at the top floors of a building and works its way downward. Heavy machinery, such as cranes equipped with demolition attachments, are used to remove the upper levels, exposing the lower floors for further demolition. This approach allows for better control over debris and reduces the risk of damage to adjacent buildings. It is often utilised in densely populated areas to deconstruct tall structures safely and efficiently, making it a favoured choice for urban redevelopment projects.
High Reach Demolition: Is a specialised technique that involves the use of high-reach excavators or demolition excavators equipped with extended arms or booms. These machines can reach considerable heights, often exceeding the height of the building to be demolished. High-reach demolition is suitable for a wide range of structures, including multi-story buildings and industrial facilities. The extended reach of these machines allows for precise and controlled demolition while maintaining a safe distance from the structure. This method is particularly useful in scenarios where conventional demolition equipment may not be sufficient to safely access or dismantle tall or structurally complex buildings.

Econ Demolition offer a range of enabling packages for construction projects, including bulk excavations, site remediation, and piling mats. Many customers like the idea of one company to complete the enabling package from start to finish. Normally these works follow on from the asbestos removal and full demolition of the site.
Bulk excavation involves removing large amounts of material from a site to prepare for construction.
Excavations are often required for residential or commercial projects to bring the land to the right level to build foundations and structures on. There are many different scenarios where bulk excavations are needed, and a range of specialised equipment that is designed to complete the task in the most efficient and effective way. If, the excavated material can't be reused on site, we handle its removal to approved waste transfer stations or landfill sites based on the client's requirements.
Normally piling mats are constructed to start the first stage of the construction process of new buildings. Site engineers design these to ensure they are suitable for heavy piling equipment. Our team can offer this service as part of the enabling package and lay the materials down to the design when recycling the materials on the project
We are also able to offer a full range of recycling options on the project. That includes the recycling of materials on sites using crushers, screeners, and environmentally friendly methods, helping to reduce costs.

In demolition work sometimes you need highly precise and targeted equipment to tackle tasks in confined or challenging environments.
Responding to a growing demand from our customers for this type of solution in 2016 we launched our dedicated Concrete Cutting and Diamond Drilling division. This team provides high-precision and environmentally- friendly solutions to demolition challenges.
Diamond Drilling provides ‘pin-point accuracy’ with smooth edges to ensure minimal invasiveness to other surrounding structures. Using ‘leading edge’ technology we can demolish concrete structures while maintaining structural integrity and keeping dust, noise, and debris to a minimum. Reinforced steel bars can be Diamond Cut ‘in situ’ and the overall waste produced in a more controlled way for excavation and collection.
We use our Concrete Cutting and Diamond Drilling equipment when operating in confined spaces, such as basements or underwater, where traditional equipment is inappropriate.
Another key benefit of this technology is that the machines operate very quickly and are virtually silent, making them ideal where noise pollution is a consideration, or for working adjacent to party walls and retained structures that demand a vibration free environment.
Furthermore, Diamond Drilling is effective in removing large areas of concrete (stitch drilling), while maintaining the integrity of the structure. Also, Diamond Drilling is the most effective way to carry out demolition drilling in underwater scenarios.

As specialist demolition contractors we use a variety of tools, machinery, and methods to ensure the most effective and cost-effective result for our customers. Demolition robots have come of age in recent years and our technicians can utilise and control them to clear a site in a highly efficient way.
We utilise ‘state of the art' demolition robots to remove both large and small concrete structures and quickly clear the site for the next stage of a project.
Where appropriate we believe Robots Rule because they:
• Offer powerful performance, producing around five times more power than traditional machines.
• Allow access to challenging areas which would be difficult to reach with traditional demolition excavators.
• Minimise health and safety risks as operators can be positioned remotely.
• Are electric powered so can be used on sites where fossil fuel emissions and engine noise are unacceptable.
• Ideal for hostile environments, such as kilns or radioactive areas.
We can also provide piling mats and recycling options, which involve using crushers, screeners, and environmentally friendly methods to reduce costs for the client's project.
We cover a range enabling packages, including bulk excavations, site remediation, piling mats or attendance. Many customers like the idea of one company to complete the enabling package from start to finish. Normally these works follow on from the asbestos removal and full demolition of the site.

"We found Econ to be talented and professional. We recently employed them to undertake some regeneration work to help us prepare for the building of our new Queen Elizabeth II Centre. Our experience of working with them was excellent. They were conscientious and efficient when working to a tight deadline and we have no hesitation recommending them for other projects."
