Deconstruction & Decommissioning

Fast Cut QLD provides specialist deconstruction and decommissioning services for commercial, industrial and civil projects across Queensland.

We have the equipment, experience and practical knowledge to assist with the controlled dismantling, cutting, separation and removal of a wide range of structures, plant and redundant infrastructure.

Our capabilities extend across a range of materials, including concrete, steel, timber, plastic and composite materials. This allows us to provide practical solutions for projects where existing structures, equipment or infrastructure need to be dismantled, sectioned and removed.

Our deconstruction and decommissioning services can include:

  • Tanks, vats and vessels
  • Silos and storage structures
  • Steel structures and frameworks
  • Structural steel cutting and dismantling
  • Concrete structures, slabs and foundations
  • Timber structures and components
  • Plastic tanks, vessels and infrastructure
  • Plant and equipment
  • Industrial machinery and redundant infrastructure
  • Concrete and steel foundations
  • Hardstands, pavements and other civil structures
  • Cutting and dismantling to facilitate removal
  • Sectioning of large or difficult-to-access structures
  • Decommissioning and removal of redundant site infrastructure

Every project presents different challenges. Access, structural configuration, site conditions and the required sequence of removal all need to be considered. Fast Cut QLD works with clients, principal contractors, engineers and other trades to develop practical cutting and deconstruction solutions suited to the project.

Our specialist equipment allows large or difficult-to-remove structures and components to be cut, separated, sectioned and prepared for removal, helping make complex deconstruction projects more manageable and efficient.

From Industrial Structures to Redundant Infrastructure

Whether you’re decommissioning an industrial facility, removing tanks or silos, dismantling steel structures, removing plastic vessels or preparing existing infrastructure for redevelopment, Fast Cut QLD can provide specialist cutting and deconstruction services to support your project.

Electric Excavation

At Fast Cut, we have a range of electric, 3-phase excavation equipment to provide concrete demolition in areas that normal machinery might not be able to operate. These machines offer no fumes and they’re quieter than typical machines. Electric excavation saves on labour costs and is a safe method, as it eliminates a lot of manual handling. This service is suitable for digging trenches, concrete removal, and the lifting of objects.

Robotic Demolition Robot (DXR)

Robotic demolition is incredibly effective for the demolition of concrete, whether in a confined interior space, or on a large-scale construction project. We’re equipped with a robotic DXR, which offers precise positioning, as well as the flexibility needed to get into complex positions. The machine is small enough to fit through doors, but powerful enough for tough jobs. These DXRs release no fumes, operate quietly, and can be used inside. They’re remote controlled as well, so the operator is away from any safety hazards.

Hydraulic Bursting

Hydraulic bursting is an effective method for controlled demolition. Bursting is good for projects where it’s important for the concrete removal to be controlled, relatively quiet, and dust-free. Hydraulic bursting can deconstruct pillars, foundations, plinths, concrete walls, and large masses of concrete. It’s typically used for buildings or structures that are still active such as hospitals, factories, offices, or hotels. Bursting suits these applications as it doesn’t shatter concrete, we apply continued pressure to the concrete so it breaks into small pieces, making it easier to remove.

Wire Sawing

Wire sawing can be used to cut most solid materials such as concrete, steel, and aluminium. Using a wire saw with pulleys, guides and good planning, can be really effective for deconstruction. From underwater bridge pylons to suspended concrete beams on high rise buildings, and even deconstructing sunken ships — wire sawing is incredibly effective.
