Redevelopment
Sites cleared and prepared for what comes next, from brownfields to former industrial properties. We make way for something new and better: structural and implosion demolition, site clearing, and preparation that hand the next phase a site in a defined condition.
What defines it
Clearing the site is the first step of a larger project.
Redevelopment demolition is driven by what comes next: housing, retail, logistics, or public space. Owners and developers work to financing, permit, and construction schedules, so the site has to be cleared, graded, and handed over on time.
Many of these sites carry history: regulated materials, tanks, or contaminated soil to deal with before construction can begin. That is why demolition, abatement, and site preparation are planned together.
At Jamestown Mall in Florissant, MO, demolition and concrete crushing cleared one of the St. Louis area’s best-known commercial properties for redevelopment.
In Fargo, ND, an old 22-story apartment tower was abated and brought down by controlled implosion to clear the site for redevelopment.
How we plan
- One scope. Abatement, demolition, tank and utility removal, and grading run under a single plan.
- History checked first. Regulated materials, tanks, and contaminated soil are identified and dealt with before construction can begin.
- Built to the start date. The schedule is tied to the developer or owner start date, with milestones for permits and inspections.
- Crushed and reused. Concrete is crushed and reused on site where possible, which cuts hauling and disposal.
- Handed over ready. The site is delivered in the condition the next phase requires, with documentation.
In detail
Each step is adjusted to the site and the project.
One scope
Abatement, demolition, tank and utility removal, and grading follow one plan and one schedule.
History checked first
Former industrial and commercial sites can hold regulated materials, tanks, or contaminated soil, so these are found and dealt with early.
Built to the start date
Milestones for permits and inspections are tied to the owner’s start date and confirmed before we mobilize.
Crushed and reused
Concrete is crushed and reused on site where possible, which cuts hauling and disposal.
Handed over ready
The site is delivered in the condition the next phase requires, with documentation.
Who hires
Who we work for in this market
Developers and owners, municipalities and redevelopment authorities, general contractors preparing sites, and sellers or lenders cleaning up property before a sale.
Because redevelopment schedules follow financing, we confirm milestones, permit dates, and inspection dates with the owner before we mobilize.
Examples of our work
Redevelopment in practice
In Fargo, North Dakota, a 22-story apartment tower was abated and brought down by controlled implosion to clear the site for redevelopment. At Jamestown Mall in Florissant, Missouri, the scope covered demolition, concrete crushing, and site preparation. At a former terminal in Wilmington, North Carolina, storage tanks and equipment were removed for the developer redeveloping the site.
