What comes up in Gladesville

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.

Benched cut on a falling block

What most Gladesville knockdowns turn into once the structure is off.

How it is handled
Taken in benches from the high side with each level stable before the next, and the batter or retaining designed before the face is cut.
What does it
Tracked excavator able to work on a grade, tippers staged at the street.

Knockdown on a narrow street

Where the frontage and the parked cars decide the logistics before the building does.

How it is handled
Material out in loads sequenced against the machine, with traffic management where the street needs it.
What does it
Midi excavator, 10 wheeler tippers rather than a truck and dog.

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.

Gladesville

What shapes the work on these blocks

  • Sloping blocks towards the river Which bring benching, retaining and a real volume of spoil into scopes that look simple from the street.
  • Older housing on established lots With mature plantings and the usual pre 1990 asbestos assumption.
  • Narrow older streets Where truck standing decides the vehicle and the number of loads.
  • Dual occupancy and knockdown rebuild The dominant job types, usually with a cut straight after the knockdown.

Gladesville streets are older and narrower than the arterials nearby, so a truck and dog is frequently not an option and the same volume goes out in more tipper loads. The fall across the block decides where a machine can safely stand while it works.

What we do in Gladesville

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.

Gladesville questions

What people ask before we start

How steep is too steep for a machine?
There is no single answer, which is why we look. What matters is whether a tracked machine can work safely on the grade and whether material can be moved up or down it, and that decides the plant and the programme.
Is there rock on these blocks?
It varies, and nearer the river it can appear. Where there is no geotechnical report, rock is priced by the cubic metre at a rate agreed before the dig starts so the price follows what is actually there.
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.
