Demolition in Chatswood, where high density redevelopment around the centre means working against boundaries and under traffic management.

What comes up in Chatswood

3 conditions, and each one is handled differently

Every site is scoped on the day. The table is what the work usually involves here rather than a statement about any particular property.

Commercial or unit block in the centre

The defining Chatswood job: a substantial structure on a constrained site with people around it.

How it is handled
Survey, disconnections in writing, soft strip, then the structure down in stages behind hoarding with traffic management in place.
What does it
Large excavator with a grapple or shear, hoarding, water for dust control.

Ridge block where the ground changes

Shale derived clay on top, sandstone where the block falls away, sometimes both in one dig.

How it is handled
Method reassessed as the dig goes down rather than assumed from the surface, with rock priced by the cubic metre at an agreed rate.
What does it
Large excavator with a toothed bucket and a hammer, attachment changed as the face changes.

Attached and shared structures

Semis, terraces, duplexes and shopfronts joined to something that stays standing. The job is as much about what is retained as what is removed.

How it is handled
Propping and support to the retained side, hand demolition at the junction, then the wall made weatherproof and left in a condition the neighbour can live with.
What does it
Hand tools and small plant at the junction, with a machine used only where it is safe to do so.

Chatswood

What shapes the work on these blocks

  • High density redevelopment around the centre Unit blocks and commercial buildings rather than houses, usually followed by a basement.
  • Shale on the ridge The Wianamatta Group forms the ridges along this corridor, with sandstone exposed in the gullies below.
  • Dense surroundings Footpaths in use and neighbouring buildings close, so hoarding and dust control are part of the job.
  • Established residential away from the centre On generous blocks with mature plantings.

Central Chatswood sites rarely offer anywhere to stockpile, so material leaves as it is generated and the trucks are sequenced against the machine. Away from the centre the blocks are generous and the usual residential constraints apply instead.

What we do in Chatswood

Five service groups, one contract

Most jobs need more than one of these. Quoted together they share a mobilisation, a programme and one set of truck movements instead of three contractors waiting on each other.

Chatswood questions

What people ask before we start

What is the ground like for a basement in Chatswood?
On the ridge it is generally clay derived from the Wianamatta shale; where the ground falls away into a gully, sandstone is as likely. Which one you are on changes the attachment and the rate, and a geotechnical report settles it.
Can you work in a busy centre?
Yes. It means hoarding, dust and noise control, traffic management, agreed hours and a sequence that keeps the footpath and the neighbouring access open. All of it is planned before anything starts.
Why can two nearby blocks be completely different digs?
Because the Wianamatta Group forms the ridges along the highway corridor while Hawkesbury Sandstone is exposed in the gullies between them. A block on the ridge is usually in shale derived clay; one falling into a gully is as likely to be in sandstone.
Is Max licensed for the asbestos removal itself?
Max holds the demolition licence, AD214737. The asbestos removal is carried out by licensed asbestos removalists, and the air monitoring and clearance by an independent licensed assessor. The whole pathway is managed as one job so you are not coordinating three contractors.
