Stelco Inc. – Hamilton Works Demolition Project
Efficient and Safe Decommissioning of a Steel Mill
Project Overview
Delsan-A.I.M. is currently executing a large-scale, multi-year decommissioning and demolition project at the Stelco Inc. Hamilton Works steel mill. This complex operation involves the removal and safe disposal of designated substances and hazardous materials from various buildings, structures, and equipment slated for demolition.
Scope of Work
The project encompasses:
  • Hazardous Materials Removal: The identification and abatement of hazardous substances within the targeted buildings and equipment, ensuring compliance with environmental and safety regulations.
  • Structural Separation: The selective separation of structures to be demolished from those to remain operational or preserved for future use.
  • Demolition Operations: A combination of methods tailored to the size, construction type, and proximity of the structures to active facilities within the steel mill.

Demolition Techniques
Delsan-A.I.M. employs a range of demolition methods to ensure safety, precision, and minimal disruption to ongoing operations:
  1. Selective Demolition: Mobile cranes and other equipment are used to carefully lower buildings to a safe height for further dismantling.
  2. Bulk Demolition: High-reach and regular boom excavators equipped with specialized attachments, such as shears, grapples, and pulverizers, are used to dismantle larger structures.
  3. Control-Drop Methods: For certain structures, engineered procedures are implemented to mechanically drop them in a controlled manner, minimizing risk and ensuring safety.

Safety and Coordination
Delsan-A.I.M. is committed to maintaining the highest safety standards throughout the project. Strict adherence to engineered guidelines and close coordination with Stelco personnel ensure that operations proceed without compromising the integrity of nearby facilities.
