Portland is a vibrant hub of not just diverse culture but manufacturing, clean energy, and maritime commerce as well. And when an old facility, be it a paper mill, a tech manufacturing plant, or a legacy industrial site, outlives its usefulness, it becomes a liability. That’s where Total Wrecking steps in. We don’t just knock things down; we strategically dismantle and remediate sites so you can get back to building what’s next. In other words, we handle the dirty work so you can focus on your future.
INDUSTRY LEADING DEMOLITION CONTRACTORS FOR PORTLAND, OREGON AND NATIONWIDE
SPECIALIZED SERVICES FOR THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST
When you’re working in a part of America that values environmental stewardship more than most, you can’t afford a sloppy demo. We provide a full suite of services tailored to the specific regulations and needs of Oregon:
• Selective & Surgical Demolition: Perfect for upgrades where you need to remove a section of a plant without stopping operations in the rest of the building.
• Environmental Remediation: We specialize in the safe removal of asbestos, lead, and other hazardous materials common in older Portland industrial sites.
• Asset Recovery & Plant Closure: If you’re closing a facility, we help you find value in the scrap and equipment to offset your costs.
• Site Clearance & Utility Disconnects: We leave the ground ready for the next developer, with all utilities properly handled and the site graded.
SAFETY STANDARDS THAT STAND UP ON OREGON JOBSITES
On a complex industrial demolition site in Portland, safety is found in the rigorous sequencing, meticulous planning, and the proactive discussions that occur before any equipment is moved. Total Wrecking & Environmental develops a custom site safety plan for every project that caters to its own unique risks and requirements.
With one of the lowest EMR scores in the industry, we take our commitment to safety seriously. Partnering with us means hiring a team dedicated to protecting your project site and professional reputation with the same exacting standards we apply to our own operations.
