What comes up in Lidcombe

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.

Factory and warehouse strip and demolition

Lidcombe industrial holdings usually come with a slab, a hardstand and tenancies either side that keep operating.

How it is handled
Soft strip first, then the structure in a planned sequence, with steel and clean concrete separated as it comes down.
What does it
Large excavator with a grapple or shear, hammer for the slab, truck and dogs for volume.

Unknown fill under an old slab

On land that has had an industrial use, what is under the concrete is a question rather than an assumption, and it sets the price of everything after it.

How it is handled
Tested and classified before it moves, then taken to a facility licensed to receive that classification. It cannot be reclassified by mixing.
What does it
Excavator working to a control plan, with lined trucks where the result requires them.

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.

Lidcombe

What shapes the work on these blocks

  • Two kinds of site in one suburb Older cottages on residential streets, and industrial holdings a short distance away. The survey, the plant and the waste streams differ on each.
  • Industrial fill and unknown ground Where land has had an industrial use, what is under the slab is a question rather than an assumption, and it is worth answering before a dig is priced.
  • Older commercial frontages Attached structures on both sides, which means partial and hand demolition at the junctions.
  • Good arterial access Close to the main roads, so cartage is usually straightforward once the material is classified.

Lidcombe is better served for trucks than most of the surrounding suburbs, with industrial streets built for them and arterials close by. On the residential side the usual side access limit applies, and on the industrial side the question is more often what can be done while the neighbouring tenancies keep operating.

What we do in Lidcombe

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.

Lidcombe questions

What people ask before we start

Do you handle factory demolition in Lidcombe?
Yes. Commercial and industrial demolition is part of the licence, and it usually runs as a sequence: hazardous materials survey, service disconnections, soft strip, then the structure, with the steel and concrete separated for recycling.
What happens if the soil under an old factory slab is contaminated?
It gets tested and classified before it moves. Contaminated material goes to a facility licensed to receive it, which is a different destination and a different rate from clean spoil. Remediation can be quoted as part of the same contract.
Do you charge travel to come out to Western Sydney?
No. Western Sydney is one of the two areas we are in most weeks, so there is no travel loading on work here and a site visit is usually easy to arrange.
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.
