What comes up in Woy Woy

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.

Excavation on low lying ground

The defining local condition, where the water table is close to the surface.

How it is handled
The face battered back or supported rather than left vertical, with dewatering planned and pumps on site from the start.
What does it
Excavator with pumps, a batter or shoring designed for the condition.

Older fibro dwelling on a flat block

Pre 1990 stock where the sheeting comes out before anything else happens.

How it is handled
Removed under licence and independently cleared, then the structure down and the block left level.
What does it
Licensed asbestos removalists, then a midi excavator with a grapple.

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.

Woy Woy

What shapes the work on these blocks

  • Low lying waterfront land Where the water table is close and an open excavation does not stay dry.
  • Older fibro stock Much of it pre 1990 and never reclad.
  • Sandy ground Which drains well and batters poorly, so a face that has to stand is supported rather than left vertical.
  • Narrow older streets Where truck standing decides the vehicle.

Woy Woy access is generally flat, which helps, but the ground is soft after rain and that affects where plant can track and how material is loaded. Near the water, dewatering is planned into an excavation rather than discovered once the hole is open.

What we do in Woy Woy

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.

Woy Woy questions

What people ask before we start

Does the water table affect a demolition?
Less than it affects what follows. It matters a great deal to an excavation: the face will not stand on its own, dewatering is usually needed, and the material coming out behaves differently from dry ground.
Is sandy ground easier to dig?
Easier to dig and harder to hold. It comes out readily but a vertical face will not stand, so it is battered back or supported, and that has to be planned rather than improvised.
Why is asbestos such a feature of Central Coast work?
Because a great deal of the older housing is pre 1990 fibro, much of it holiday era stock that was never replaced. Identification sits at the front of most jobs here for that reason.
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.
