1. Mines
   Although mining is currently a booming industry in Australia, sometimes older, unprofitable or dangerous mines require removal. With so much equipment and underground work, it isn’t as simple as packing up and leaving the mine behind. This is where demolition companies come in. They can remove the mine, recycle any salvageable items, as well as make sure it is environmentally sound.
2. Underground tanks and petrol stations
   Like mines, tanks and petrol stations hidden underground cannot simply be removed. Typically, the matter inside the tank has contaminated the soil in the area. The tanks are also usually very big and it is vital they are removed safely and the excavation of the tank and filling of the space must be carried out by highly skilled professionals. These steps are necessary for redevelopment purposes.
3. Bridges
   Although it is not a common thing, sometimes it is necessary to demolish a bridge for the safety of the population. It may be due to age or positioning, but the only way to effectively remove such a big and potentially dangerous structure is with a professional demolition crew.
4. Airports
   Like many of the more unusual demolition projects a company may undertake, airports require a significant amount of work other than just the demolition. First, materials like combustibles, concrete, timber and anything salvageable must be stripped from the area and recycled. Then, mechanical demolition can be completed. In some cases, larger structures also need to be separated into more manageable pieces before they are demolished.

Some other uncommon demolition types include plant decommissions, marine, piers, silo and wharf projects. For more information or advice, talk to the demolition specialists, Queensland based company, Abyss Demolition.

1. Prior to the commencement of any demolition, you will need to acquire a demolition permit from your local council. This can take several weeks so it is important you look into this well before the intended demolition date.
2. If any foliage is being removed, particularly trees, you may also need a tree removal permit. This is dependent on the age, size and location of the trees.  You will need to check with your local council if there are any vegetation protection orders in place on your property.
3. The sewerage needs to be capped off. This can be done by a licensed plumber who will go on site for you and arrange for the council inspection.
4. A number of services need to be abolished from the site. This includes the electricity and meter. This is different from getting it disconnected and must be arranged through your utility provider. Alternatively, you can have a temporary builder’s supply installed if necessary. You should contact your electricity retailer to organise this.
5. You will also need to abolish the gas service. This is similar to abolishing the electricity service. You will need to contact your retail gas provider for the relevant forms to complete for your area.
