OUR INNOVATIVE, TECHNICALLY ADVANCED METHODS AND STATE-OF-THE-ART EQUIPMENT ENABLES US TO TAKE ON THE MOST COMPLEX HEAVY INDUSTRIAL DEMOLITION PROJECTS.

By taking a holistic and practical approach to demolition activities, we have developed and patented a range of highly specialised demolition tools and methods with the primary focus on safety. Our sites are managed by experienced, full-time Site and Safety Professionals, and are supported by a fully staffed Engineering team.

Each project is planned meticulously, and we carefully select the most appropriate methods, plant and personnel to undertake the work with minimal disruption to our clients’ operational requirements. We have extensive experience in sectional demolition of large industrial and mining plants still in operation where access is restricted and vital plant services are present and in close proximity.

Our fleet, in excess of 60 items of specialised demolition machines ranging from a 1 tonne skid steer unit to a 102 tonne high reach excavator, offers flexibility in pairing the ideal plant and equipment to suit the projects’ requirements. Through careful application of a wealth of experience, we are able to offer our clients solutions that are economical, rapid and risk-averse.

We serve all heavy industry, including:

• Automotive Manufacturing
• Chemical and Pharmaceutical Manufacturing;
• Petrochemical;
• Power Generation;
• Steel and Glass Production Facilities;
• Mining Facilities.

REHABILITATION OF DAM WALLS USUALLY REQUIRES DEMOLITION OF REDUNDANT PORTIONS OF MONOLITHIC BLOCKS. JUDICIOUS SELECTION OF DEMOLITION METHODS AND THEIR APPLICATION TECHNIQUES ARE VITAL TO A CONTROLLED AND PRODUCTIVE PROJECT.

Through years of applied demolition research, Jet Demolition is able to offer an integrated approach to dam rehabilitation. Hybrid solutions are developed to suit specific, on-site conditions, whilst protecting the structural integrity of the remaining concrete.

Various drilling and coring methods are applied to generate blastholes of pre-determined depths, diameters and alignments, in strict accordance with our in-house blast-design, where the nature of the works to be undertaken warrants controlled blasting of spillways and structural elements.

Detonation causes both shock wave and gas penetration energy transfer to concrete structures. It is thus critical to ensure physical separation of the elements combined with careful and considered selection of blasting applications, to ensure reliable and predictable results, without residual damage to the remaining concrete. Jet Demolition offers Micro-Blasting techniques, specifically developed for dam-wall applications.

Blasting may not be appropriate in every instance. Jet Demolition has successfully completed numerous dam wall demolition projects, both by explosive and mechanical means.

Our range of dam-specific services include:

• Vertical and Horizontal Drilling and Coring;
• Blasting;
• Diamond Wire Rope Cutting;
• Mechanical Breaking using specialised demolition tools.

JET DEMOLITION REGULARLY PERFORMS ON-SITE DEMOLITION ASSESSMENTS FOR LARGE MINING HOUSES THROUGHOUT AFRICA. OUR EXTENSIVE EXPERIENCE IN THE DEMOLITION FIELD ENSURES ACCURATE ESTIMATION OF DEMOLITION COSTS AND DURATIONS BASED ON INTERNATIONALLY RECOGNISED BEST PRACTICE.

We are a technically-based company with 10 members of our staff in possession of B.Sc. & M.Sc. degrees or diplomas in Engineering, with Pr Eng, Pr Techni and SACPCMP accreditation. This background gives us the necessary technical foundation and skill to offer our Clients accurate, effective demolition estimations to supplement their Life of Mine (LoM) planning.

Prior to deployment to the site, Jet Demolition liaises with the relevant stakeholders to develop a client-specific report format for later integration into the final LoM estimation. This ensures that deliverables are in line with the clients’ requirements, and aides in creating a consistent reporting-format that can readily be updated as and when required.

Our demolition costing services include:

• Advising on feasible demolition techniques specifically suited to the on-site conditions;
• Cost estimations to demolish the structures to pre-defined limits as determined by the Client;
• Estimation on scrap tonnages that may be expected at demolition stage, thereby allowing local market values to be allocated as appropriate;
• Proposed demolition and safety standards with financial implications to be included in closure planning;
• Full confidentiality and protection of proprietary information.
