High-Rise and Steel Structure Removal

Expert High-Rise and Steel Structure Demolition

Demolishing high-rise buildings and steel structures demands specialized expertise, advanced equipment, and meticulous planning. These projects present unique challenges due to height, structural complexity, and proximity to surrounding properties and infrastructure. Griffin Services provides safe, engineered solutions for high-rise demolition, including crane-assisted dismantling, torch cutting, mechanical takedowns, and debris containment systems designed to protect workers and the public.

Backed by a 1,500+ person workforce and one of the largest demolition fleets in the nation, we have the scale to manage complex urban high-rise projects as well as large industrial steel facilities. Our OSHA-trained crews use engineered sequencing, fall protection systems, and advanced dust and noise control measures to ensure every project is executed safely, efficiently, and in full compliance with regulatory standards. Whether dismantling an outdated high-rise or removing a steel-framed industrial structure, Griffin Services delivers the precision and resources to get the job done right.

What Is High-Rise & Steel Structure Removal?

High-rise and steel structure removal is the systematic demolition of multistory buildings and large steel-framed facilities using specialized methods, equipment, and safety protocols. Unlike low-rise or interior demolition, these projects require engineered sequencing, crane operations, and structural analysis to bring down tall or heavy frameworks in a controlled and secure manner.

The process often includes:

• Crane-Assisted Dismantling: Piece-by-piece removal of upper floors or steel beams, lowering materials safely to the ground.

• Torch Cutting & Shearing: Controlled cutting of large steel components for removal and recycling.

• Mechanical Demolition: Use of high-reach excavators, hydraulic shears, and other heavy machinery to dismantle tall structures from the ground up.

• Debris Containment & Protection: Installation of netting, scaffolding, or exclusion zones to protect adjacent buildings, pedestrians, and utilities.

High-rise and steel structure demolition is most often required for:

• Obsolete office towers or residential high-rises

• Steel-framed industrial plants, warehouses, or refineries

• Urban redevelopment projects in tight, heavily populated areas

• Structures compromised by age, damage, or safety concerns

At Griffin Services, we combine decades of high-rise demolition expertise, one of the nation’s largest equipment fleets, and a highly trained workforce to deliver removal projects that are safe, efficient, and environmentally responsible, preparing sites for redevelopment with minimal disruption to surrounding communities.
