Stelco Inc. Hamilton Works

Project Overview

The Stelco demolition project led by Delsan-AIM highlights best practices in safe, efficient, and environmentally responsible dismantling. This multi-year project took place at Stelco Inc.’s Hamilton Works steel mill, involving the removal of hazardous materials and the controlled decommissioning of industrial structures in a live setting.

Scope of Work in the Stelco Demolition Project

This large-scale project included:

• Hazardous Materials Removal: Abatement of asbestos, lead, and other contaminants in line with provincial and federal guidelines.
• Structural Separation: Isolating demolition zones from active infrastructure to maintain site operations.
• Tailored Demolition Methods: Using precision techniques to adapt to Stelco’s unique steel mill constraints.

Demolition Techniques for Industrial Structures

Delsan-AIM used various industrial demolition strategies:

• Selective Demolition: Hydraulic tools and mobile cranes lowered structures to ground level for safe processing.
• Bulk Demolition: High-reach excavators with shears and pulverizers removed large steel and concrete elements.
• Engineered Drop Techniques: Controlled collapses were used where mechanical dismantling posed higher risk.

Health and Safety in the Stelco Demolition Project

Our team collaborated with Stelco personnel to implement engineered safety plans. These measures reduced risk while safeguarding workers and maintaining nearby operations.

Environmental Strategy and Completion

From dust suppression to recycling, environmental protection was embedded into every phase. The Stelco demolition project concluded safely, on time, and with minimal disruption to surrounding facilities.
