According to the Deconstruction Institute, the demolition of buildings in the United States produces 124,670,000 tons of debris each year. Consider that one year's debris is enough to build a wall about 30 feet high and 30 feet thick around the entire coast of the continental United States (4,993 miles).”
Demolition

When most people think of demolition, they conjure up an image of a big wrecking ball smashing into a building where the debris all ends up in the landfill, Not Champion. Our approach is more holistic in design and evaluates the salvage, recycle, reuse and reduction aspect of the project. It’s a business philosophy that has proven to benefit our clients by reducing their demolition costs, and the environment by reducing the amount of C&D materials that end up in landfills.

Our deconstruction specialists will review all aspects of the project, taking into consideration all building materials and contents, then provide our clients with the most cost effective approach to safely remove the structure(s).

Champion’s demolition specialists and operators average nearly 20 years of experience in demolition and material reduction.



Recycle and Reuse

Most demolition projects produce building materials that are recyclable or reusable. For example concrete, ferrous and non-ferrous metal, wood and brick. Champion has the means and experience to maximize the reduction of these and other materials such as:

  • Steel materials can be segregated and sized according to recycling mill specifications.
  • Concrete, Brick and Block materials can be crushed on or off site and sized for beneficial reuse.
  • Wood beams, decking, etc. can be salvaged by engineered deconstruction or segregated for downsizing and reuse for such things as fuel and mulch.
  • Antique Brick Our affiliate, Old Time Antique Brick Co. manages the salvage of intact reusable brick. Once a brick building is on the ground, it’s sorted, picked, palletized, and prepared for the reuse market.
  • Other building material such as ceiling tiles, glass, furniture, etc.
