Industrial Demolition in Oklahoma: Heavy-Duty Projects Done Right

Industrial Demolition in Oklahoma: Heavy-Duty Projects Done Right

Industrial demolition is one of the most challenging types of construction work. It involves dismantling massive structures—factories, steel-framed buildings, refineries, power plants, and more—with extreme precision and control.

If your Oklahoma-based company needs an industrial facility removed, here’s how the process works—and why you should trust seasoned professionals.

1. It All Starts with Engineering & Environmental Review

Large industrial sites often contain:

• Heavy machinery and equipment foundations

• Electrical substations and gas feeds

• Asbestos, lead paint, or chemical residues

Before demolition, a comprehensive review is conducted to identify:

• Structural hazards

• Utility disconnection needs

• Environmental remediation requirements

2. Selective Demolition May Be Required

Some industrial demolitions involve only part of a structure. Selective demolition is used to:

• Retain equipment pads or support structures

• Dismantle specific mezzanines or silos

• Remove non-structural elements for plant reconfiguration

Gate 7’s crews use saw-cutting, core drilling, and high-reach equipment for precision control.

3. Specialized Equipment Is a Must

You won’t find a crew with sledgehammers on an industrial demo site. Instead, we use:

• High-reach excavators with shears and hammers

• Cranes for structural steel dismantling

• Skid steers and loaders for debris sorting

• Negative air systems for dust containment in enclosed environments

4. Waste Management and Recycling

Industrial sites generate large volumes of:

• Steel beams and scrap metal

• Concrete slabs and equipment bases

• Hazardous and non-hazardous waste

Gate 7 ensures compliant disposal and recycling of salvageable materials. We can also provide documentation for LEED credits and regulatory audits.

5. Your Timeline and Budget Are Our Mission

Downtime costs money. We work closely with facility managers and project owners to:

• Minimize disruptions

• Avoid delays

• Stay on schedule and on budget
