Concrete Crushing Services

Leave a Comment

On a typical demolition job site, you might be used to simply disposing of your unused building materials. A transportation and waste management specialist will come to your site, where they may spend countless hours trying to haul away massive chunks of unbroken concrete. From there, they’ll take these slabs and dump them in a landfill, where they’ll never be used again.

Fortunately, there is a solution to this wasteful practice! Concrete crushing is an easy and sustainable way to break down old slabs of concrete into usable materials, saving you money, time, and resources on your demolition site.

What is Concrete Crushing?

As stated above, concrete crushing is the practice of breaking down unused slabs of concrete into smaller chunks using specialized machinery, like jaw or impact crushing equipment. Concrete is sometimes crushed so that it can be more easily transported or removed from a demo site. Increasingly, however, concrete is being crushed more finely so that it can be recycled as aggregate material in new cement mixes on-site, reducing the amount of demolition debris and construction waste while also lowering the amount of money spent on disposal costs!

Concrete Crushing Benefits for Demolition Sites

Opting for concrete and asphalt crushing services on your demolition site comes with a number of great benefits, including the following advantages.

Concrete Recycling Can Be an Asset for Your Business

Choosing concrete recycling over disposal can be the smartest thing you can do for your business, saving you time and money that might be wasted by throwing your rubble in a landfill. Many construction projects seek out salvaged materials, meaning that you can earn money back by selling crushed concrete as recycled aggregate to be used on other sites.

Produce Concrete Aggregate for New Construction

Recycling your slabs of concrete can also be extremely worthwhile if you plan on embarking on a new construction project on the same site. Crushed concrete can be turned into a reusable product that, when mixed with cement, can be utilized again and again on your next building project! This can save your business a large sum of money in transport costs as well as new material cost savings.

Improved Disposal and Transport

Even if you opt not to recycle your crushed concrete, on-site crushing may still be the best option for you and your property. Once crushed, the smaller pieces are much easier to move compared to large, ungainly slabs of concrete. Plus, professionally crushed concrete can also save your laborers hassle and harm – portable crushers are safer and more efficient than traditional man-operated methods of breaking down concrete, like sledgehammers and jackhammers.

What is High Reach Demolition?

High reach demolition is a specialized technique used to safely dismantle sections of tall buildings and higher structures. This method involves the use of high reach machines and cranes that are equipped with various attachments to carefully deconstruct structures from the top down.
