Our Projects

WARD DEMOLITION HAVE AN EXTENSIVE PORTFOLIO OF SUCCESSFUL COMMERCIAL, INDUSTRIAL AND RESIDENTIAL DEMOLITION PROJECTS. Here are a few of our more recent:

 

The fall of “Pigeon Palace”

 Ward Demolition’s deconstruction of Albert St’s, pigeon infested, street kid decorated, CBD Auckland, block of buildings was no simple feat. The tallest crumbly high-rise gave us a horrific surprise while pulling in a 7-story high street facing section. We discovered there was absolutely no rebar in the columns. As we stepped down each side of the building, with small machines, in preparation for the high reach, we found no pattern to the columns that had no rebar. Meaning we took extra precautions with every one, by double turfa winching and stropping each section as we pulled them in.

Our New Zealand first, brand New, DXR 300 Robot was a game changer during what amounted to be a high-risk demolition. We were able to break beams out in half the time of the 3 tonne excavators while remaining at a safe distance of 7 story high leading edges.

Imperial Tobacco Wellington

This 7 building Demolition was monumental for Wellington, with the highest level of recycling in history. The team of 24 men and women worked with some amazing innovations to get the job completed safely. See part 1 of our behind the scenes video below (left) explaining our new dust suppression system.

100% of the structures concrete was crushed onsite to be recycled back into the foundations of the new development. A further 4,000 tonnes of concrete was trucked in from other job sites. Meaning 115% of concrete was recycled. On top of this, 100% of the steel was recycled and 4 truckloads of native timber sacking was salvaged. READ MORE HERE.

 

Wainuiomata Shopping Centre

The 1970’s, near abandoned shopping centre had become quite the eye sore for locals, it was said to be the saddest shopping centre in New Zealand. With 2 of the 24 spaces occupied the public were very excited to hear of Woolworths $60 million plan to redevelop the area. The ghost mall had to go. The project featured 2 stages of Demolition in close proximity to the surrounding public. Met with tight deadlines the highly experienced team exceeded the clients expectations with time to spare, enabling for a smooth transition into the next phase of the development. READ MORE HERE.
