Mechanical Removals
Since its inception, Volcano Construction Services Ltd. has not only become known as an industry leader, but as a trail blazer, in mechanical demolition. We are innovative and inventive and our mechanical demolition team, with over 50 years of combined experience, is highly skilled and adept to take on even the most challenging of mechanical demolition projects.
While we specialize in the dismantling and removal of residential, commercial, industrial and institutional boilers, chillers, rooftop units, generators, pipes, duct work and other mechanical equipment, we have also been involved in some very unique and exciting large-scale, high-profile projects. Most recently, we were a key member of a team of highly skilled professionals, who dismantled the tower crane that collapsed in downtown Halifax in the wake of Hurricane Dorion.
With decades of experience, we are dedicated to completing projects in a safe and efficient manner and do so by investing in specialized equipment and cutting-edge technology, to ensure that we can complete this labor-intensive and time-sensitive work, in a manner that does not sacrifice the safety of our people. With a solid understanding about the intricacies of how things move, our team is highly skilled in industrial rigging and moving and are uniquely qualified to dismantle and remove materials, even when site conditions make it exceptionally challenging.
Given the complexity of most mechanical demolition projects, we are always ready to adapt to change at a moment’s notice. When the direction of work changes to abatement or remediation, upon the discovery of asbestos, lead-paint or other hazardous materials, our team is always ready for the unexpected and unplanned. Understanding that schedules and deadlines are often critical, we work closely with our clients in these difficult situations, remaining focused on working through the unforeseen and finding the intricate balance between meeting project deadlines and ensuring that these high-risk projects are completed without incident or injury.
We have a large portfolio of successful projects that are evidence of our keen abilities and qualifications to work in high-pressure, physically demanding and hazardous environments, when schedules and deadlines are of utmost importance. This is one of the many reasons why general contractors are choosing Volcano Construction Services Ltd. as their preferred mechanical demolition contractor in Atlantic Canada.
