Hard Demolition

Nueva School Project

Hard Demolition

For the Nueva School project, we carried out the demolition of a 7,000 SF building, including slabs and foundations, along with the removal of more than 11,200 SF of concrete flatwork. The scope also covered the systematic removal of 140 LF of walls and 100 concrete piers, all completed per strict sequencing requirements. Every phase was executed with precision, with debris off-hauled and the site left clean, rough graded, and ready for redevelopment.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of demolition do you handle?

We take care of it all, hard demo, soft demo, selective concrete demolition, full structural concrete demo, and utility demolition. Whatever the scope, our crews have the experience and equipment to get it done right.

Demolition often uncovers hazardous materials. Before removal, we test building materials for asbestos, PCBs, and other hazards. If anything is found, it’s handled and removed according to strict safety protocols. ZLC files all required compliance permits with OSHA and BAAQMD before starting work. County and building permits are typically managed by the owner, but we’re always here to support the process.

Safety is always our first priority. We use top-tier dust control, proper containment, and environmentally responsible debris disposal. We also off-haul to Green Halo–approved facilities when required. The result: a clean, safe site with zero headaches for our clients.

We’re committed to sustainability. Materials like concrete and metal are separated and recycled, achieving up to a 95% recycling rate. Construction & Demolition (C&D) debris is sent to approved facilities that meet California’s 65% recycling requirement.
