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.
