What comes up in Epping

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.

Unit block and basement as one contract

The Epping redevelopment job, where the demolition and the dig are two halves of one programme.

How it is handled
Survey, disconnections, soft strip, the structure in stages, then the dig to the retention design with the spoil classified once.
What does it
Large excavator with a grapple, then a toothed bucket for the clay, truck and dog for volume.

Established house with protected trees

The other half of the work, on blocks where the plantings decide where plant can stand.

How it is handled
Protection zones set before anything arrives, the demolition sequenced around them, and material moved by hand where plant cannot go.
What does it
Midi excavator positioned outside the protection zone.

Freestanding houses

Single and double storey brick, brick veneer, fibro and timber. The era matters more than the material, because anything built before 1990 carries a hazardous materials assumption until it is tested.

How it is handled
Hazardous materials removed and cleared first, services disconnected in writing, then the structure taken down and the material separated as it falls.
What does it
Excavator with a demolition grapple, sized to the side access rather than to the house. Zero tail swing where the work runs hard against a boundary.

Epping

What shapes the work on these blocks

  • Strong apartment redevelopment pressure Around the station, which brings unit block demolition and basement digs rather than single knockdowns.
  • Established housing on good sized blocks Still the majority of the suburb, and mostly pre 1990.
  • Significant trees Common on the older properties, with protection that decides the working area.
  • Shale derived clay soils Which affect the batter, the support and the classification of what comes out of a basement.

Epping streets near the station carry traffic management and parking pressure; further out the blocks are generous and a machine can usually get where it needs to. On a redevelopment site there is rarely room to stockpile, so material leaves as it is generated.

What we do in Epping

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.

Epping questions

What people ask before we start

Can the basement dig follow straight on from the demolition?
Yes, and it is usually the better arrangement. One contractor means the shoring, the batter and the truck movements are planned once, and the spoil classification is settled before any material moves.
What is the ground like for a basement here?
Generally clay derived from the shale rather than sandstone, which affects the batter, the support and the classification of the spoil. A geotechnical report settles it for a particular block.
Can you demolish a semi or a terrace without damaging the one next door?
That is partial demolition and it is routine work. The party wall is propped, the roof junction detailed and the wall left weatherproof. The demolition at the boundary is done by hand rather than with a machine.
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.
