COFFS HARBOUR PRECAST YARD
Snapshot
The works included the removal of all slab, inground services, inground moulds, above ground sheds and concrete structures, the latter of which encompassed the super-T moulds, concrete plinths, slabs, services, and driveways.
The expanse of the site and volume of works allowed for concurrent work zones, which meant that at one point during the project, 12 excavators were operating simultaneously.

Project Scope
Works commenced with processing of the steel moulds, which involved hammering, oxy cutting and shearing, as well as processing to separate the concrete and moulds.
Once demolished, concrete was relocated to a stockpile for crushing with the western bay of the main shed demolished mechanically by two excavators fitted with shears and an extension pick custom designed by DEMEX.
Project Highlights
- 99.72% of project waste recycled
- 1,918 tonnes of scrap steel recycled
- 1,084 tonnes of concrete recycled
- Design and fabrication of the ripper attachment.
- An innovative methodology using induced layover rather than induced collapse reduced the risk of flying debris falling outside the demolition work zone.
- No major safety or environmental incidents.
