ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS FOR COMPLEX URBAN SITES
COMMUNITY & ENVIRONMENTAL CARE
The larger community and the jobsite’s sensitive surroundings are always at the forefront of our projects. Our urban demo experts use dust suppression, wind and water screens, vibration monitoring, and other careful methodologies to keep any and all disruptions to a minimum, all while coordinating traffic and debris handling. Every step ensures surrounding structures are fully protected.
SPECIALTY DEMOLITION TOOLS & INNOVATION
For high-risk or confined urban sites, Total Wrecking uses:
• Brokk robotic demolition units for pinpoint removal without vibration
• High-reach excavators with custom attachments
• Precision shears and hydraulic grapples for controlled material separation
• Proprietary crane-suspended demolition devices engineered in-house for controlled felling in tight spaces
EXPERT EXECUTION FOR COMPLEX URBAN PROJECTS
In a tight urban environment, “winging it” isn’t an option. Whether we’re dealing with shared walls, active utility lines, or zero-clearance access, Total Wrecking treats demolition as a surgical process.
We use 3D modeling and digital tracking to map out the teardown, ensuring we don’t just knock things over, but systematically dismantle them without compromising the integrity of the neighboring structures or the grid.
TRANSFORMING SPACES, RESPECTING SURROUNDINGS
Selective demolition is about more than just being “green”, it’s about logistics and project costs. By hitting recovery rates above 99%, we turn debris into a secondary revenue stream or a cost-offset for the client.
To keep the site compliant and the neighbors off your back, we utilize Dust Boss suppression systems to knock down particulates at the source. This allows us to work in sensitive environments, like active labs or high-traffic pedestrian zones, without the dust and debris migration that usually triggers shutdowns.
CASE STUDY: DEQ (DEPARTMENT OF ENV IORNMENTAL QUALITY)
One recent urban project involved the Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) seven-story parking structure in downtown Oklahoma City. Working across from the National Memorial & Museum, Total Wrecking stabilized the compromised structure with emergency bracing and protection systems, then dismantled it using Brokk robotic demolition units and a Komatsu 490 UHD high-reach excavator.
This ultra complex project also involved:
• Real-time cameras, drones, and proprietary tracking apps monitored progress and safety.
• Dust Boss suppression and adaptive recycling maintained compliance and cleanliness.
• The project recycled over 7,000 tons of material with a 99.997% recovery rate.
• Despite tight access, city events, and severe weather, the project was completed on time and on budget, with zero safety incidents.
By treating each city like its own, Total Wrecking ensures employees perform better, clients are more satisfied, and communities feel genuinely cared for.
