DANE Contractors demo team is now on the ground and in full force.
Excavators, skid steers, and dump trucks are working in sync—removing debris, clearing compromised structures, and safely bringing down the non-salvageable sections of the facility. Every bucket, lift, and haul is a step toward full restoration.
This phase is all about precision, safety, and momentum. Our crews are operating with purpose to keep the project advancing and ensure the site is fully prepared for reconstruction.
From assessment ➝ to planning ➝ to demolition… the road to rebuild continues.
Here's an on-the-ground look at our cleanup and demolition team in action as they work through the non-salvageable section of this industrial facility.
Excavators and loaders are actively removing debris, bringing down compromised structures, and clearing the site for the next phase of restoration. You’ll also notice our crews hosing down the work area—a standard safety practice to minimize particulate matter, control dust, and maintain a cleaner, safer environment throughout demolition.
Every step is executed with precision and care as we move this large-loss restoration forward.
