Henderson Demolition

Careful hands, tough work! 💪

This demolition is all about careful planning and control. With a live transformer, a neighbouring lab testing facility, and a roadway linked to the retaining wall, we’re managing vibration, dust, and sequencing every step of the way. Safety and efficiency lead the way. Nice work Edison!
