The way we approach dismantling structures is evolving. At Colemans, we champion engineered deconstruction—a controlled, systematic process that prioritises safety, structural integrity, and material recovery, setting a new standard for sustainability in the built environment.
Unlike traditional demolition, engineered deconstruction is not about simply knocking down buildings. Instead, we take a precise, strategic approach that allows us to recover and repurpose materials, reducing waste and embracing the principles of the circular economy.
Circular Economy in Action: Turning Waste into Resources
By integrating circular economy principles into our operations, we ensure that materials from deconstructed buildings are given new life. Colemans is dedicated to reducing landfill waste and maximising material reuse, with key initiatives such as:
- Processing and repurposing materials at the UK’s first urban quarry, converting waste into usable aggregates such as sand, gravel, and clay.
- Steel recovery and reuse, reducing demand for new raw materials and lowering carbon emissions.
- Innovative dust suppression techniques that improve air quality and limit environmental impact.
Proven Expertise: Landmark Projects in Engineered Deconstruction
Colemans has successfully delivered some of the UK’s most complex engineered deconstruction projects, including:
- New Street Station, Birmingham – A multi-phase deconstruction project that required precision dismantling of structures in a highly operational, live rail environment.
- G1 George Square, Glasgow – A strategic deconstruction combining temporary works design with precision methodologies to transform a historic site into a modern commercial space.
- Battersea Gas Holder, London – A challenging high-reach engineered deconstruction, requiring a meticulous approach to safely dismantle the structure while ensuring maximum material recovery.
The Future of Engineered Deconstruction
As Colemans continues to innovate, our focus remains on advancing deconstruction technology, embracing digitalisation, and enhancing sustainability practices. By integrating AI, remote-controlled equipment, and drone-based structural assessments, we are setting new industry benchmarks for efficiency, safety, and environmental responsibility.
