Recycling
As part of any demolition project, Hunter Demolition recycles as much of the resulting debris and scrap material as possible.
The need to recycle is becoming increasingly important in today’s environmentally conscious economy. What is more, our clients achieve considerable savings in the cost of a demolition project when the value of the various recycled materials and scrap is taken into account.
During the demolition process, our excavators will remove any scrap steel, including rebar, for recycling. Any non-ferrous metals are also removed and recycled separately.
Masonry and concrete rubble is then processed using our range of crushing and screening equipment. We produce various grades of material for use on-site (PSD certified 6F1,6F2 and Type 1). The need for new in-fill and quarry materials is minimised – as is the cost of this aspect of the site’s future re-development.
We will also undertake stand-alone projects, for example we are currently working on a 4 year major project to remove in excess of 5 million tonnes of red blaes material from a former oil shale slag-heap to the west of Edinburgh. The slag-heap, Niddry Bing, was once the largest manmade structure in Europe with a total volume of 147 million tonnes of material. The material which we are removing is being used in a variety of road building and construction projects such as an upgrade to a section of the M80, the new road network at the southern end of the proposed new Forth Bridge and as infill material for other construction clients.
