Explosives Demolition

When someone mentions building demolition, Implosions usually come to mind. Explosive Demolition is one of the most exciting and anticipated means of demolition in the industry. Though it only accounts for a portion of the work we do, explosives demolition is an important tool to ensure the safe and effective demolition of structures where conventional methods pose greater risks.

Explosives demolition can be very precise and cause less disruption to surrounding neighbors than conventional methods. Clauss Construction works with the foremost experts in the explosives demolition industry to provide a comprehensive value added service to our customers.

We have safely managed explosive demolition operations in many high profile cases including:

• Implosions of landmark Las Vegas hotels including the Desert Inn and Frontier Hotel Casino.
• Explosive fracturing of large concrete structures including shield walls and parking structures.
• Explosives Fracturing and/or Explosives Demolition of radiologically contaminated concrete shielding greater than 10 feet thick.
• Explosives demolition projects for Private Industry, The General Services Administration (GSA), and The Department of Energy (DOE).
• Explosive demolition of Steel Stacks and Concrete Chimneys over 200 feet tall.

To keep equipment operators out of unnecessary and dangerous situations, we can provide selective demolition of most structural and non-structural items inside or outside a structure. Examples include safely bringing down large bridge cranes, tanks, shield walls, or other equipment to a safer working level.

We are available to consult with you on any project, anytime. In addition, Clauss Construction currently holds a 3 year master agreement for explosive demolition services at a DOE facility and we would be pleased to add you to our customer list.
