Experience matters when knocking down city buildings in tight urban spaces. Brophy Excavation are trusted experts in urban dwelling demolitions and commercial spaces.
Claws, Buckets, Shovels, Scoops and Sand! Excavation may seem like fun, but it's serious business and requires an expert at reading plans, understanding the limitations & capabilities of heavy equipment, using finesse in tight urban spaces, knowing the dangers of soil collapse and much more.
Shoring is the process of supporting a structure in order to prevent collapse so that construction can proceed. Shoring can also provide temporary support until the concrete becomes hard and achieves the desired strength to support loads.
Site Grading is the process of using heavy machinery to level the earth to ensure an even base, or specified slope, in preparation of a foundation for the construction of a residential or commercial property.
There are approximately 15-18 separate documents that need to be submitted to the city for a wrecking permit -- that's a lot of time and manpower. But don't sweat it, at Brophy we have a staff dedicated to pulling permits for you.
Backfilling is an essential process of excavation work. The backfill process requires experience and skill in heavy equipment as well as knowledge of the specifications, contract requirements, and soil conditions.
