What to do with the concrete battle after dismantling? Ready-made solutions from Forest-Ukraine

After the dismantling of buildings, a large amount of construction waste always remains. The largest share among them is concrete demolition. This is a valuable material that can be reused in construction, landscaping, or for the production of recycled crushed stone.

Concrete battle after dismantling is a resource, not garbage

In the modern construction industry, more and more attention is being paid to environmental friendliness and the rational use of resources. According to experts, concrete accounts for up to 40% of all construction waste. If it is taken to landfills, it leads to significant costs and harms the environment. However, recycling of concrete demolition allows us to obtain high-quality material. This recycled material can be used for new facilities.

What is concrete fight and how it is formed

Concrete rubble is concrete fragments generated during the dismantling or repair of structures. Depending on its composition and condition, it is divided into several types:

Therefore, concrete fight most often appears after such processes as dismantling industrial/residential buildings or dismantling roads, sidewalks or bridges.

Options for dealing with concrete fighting

The current approach involves several ways to treat or dispose of construction waste. The choice depends on several circumstances. These include the amount of material, the location of the facility, the availability of equipment, and the developer’s plans.

Disposal at a landfill

This is the easiest but also the least efficient option. Landfilling should only be considered when the volume is small and the material is mixed and not suitable for recycling. Disadvantages of this approach:

• high cost of transportation;
• payment for waste disposal;
• negative impact on the environment;
• loss of a potentially useful resource.

Forest-Ukraine helps minimize these costs by offering alternative recycling solutions.

Recycling into secondary crushed stone

Making secondary crushed stone from concrete is the most profitable and environmentally friendly option. Waste is crushed using special equipment and then divided into fractions:

• 0-5 mm – for road filling, landscaping;
• 5-20 mm – for concrete mixtures;
• 20-70 mm – as a base for pavement or foundations.

Processing stages include sorting, crushing, fractionation, storage, or delivery. Such materials meet the requirements of DSTU.

Reuse in construction

Concrete fights can be used without recycling as a filler for:

• temporary roads and access roads to the facilities;
• strengthening the foundations for the foundation;
• backfilling of pits or trenches;
• landscaping.

This is especially convenient when dismantling and new construction are carried out on the same site.

Sale or transfer to other companies

There is an option for what to do with concrete after dismantling if the volume of material is large. Then it can be sold or transferred to other companies. Concrete fight is often bought:

• landscaping companies;
• road construction organizations;
• private developers;
• producers of secondary materials.

This option reduces the cost of dismantling and even partially compensates for its cost.

Economic benefits of recycling concrete scrap

Recycling construction waste is a way to reduce project costs and increase its profitability. When the debris is used for recycled crushed stone or as backfill, the developer saves on the purchase of primary materials and on garbage removal. These are the main advantages of recycling:

1. Savings on the purchase of crushed stone. Secondary material is 20-40% cheaper than primary material (depending on the region and fraction).
2. Additional income. The sale of large volumes of recyclable materials compensates for part of the dismantling and crushing costs.

Recycling of concrete scrap reduces the project’s operating costs and can become a source of additional profit by optimizing logistics and rationalizing the use of materials.

Environmental responsibility is a trend and a necessity

Today, environmental responsibility is a requirement of legislation and project financing terms. Crushing concrete reduces the burden on landfills, reduces the extraction of natural resources, and reduces CO₂ emissions associated with the production and delivery of virgin materials. Recycling sustainably is at once a moral, legal, and economic choice that brings concrete benefits to the project and the community.

Step-by-step algorithm of the turnkey service:

1. Site visit and volume assessment.
2. Approval of the removal route and recycling plan.
3. Sorting and removal of hazardous impurities/rebar.
4. Crushing and fractionation.
5. Preparation of acts and documents, delivery or storage of finished material.

The turnkey service minimizes risks for the customer and provides clear financial reporting of the work.

Sale or provision of secondary crushed stone

After processing, we offer the concrete scrap as crushed stone to our partners or return part of the material to the customer for use on the project. We work with both large road construction companies and local contractors and private developers. The sale of recycled crushed stone provides the customer with an additional financial resource or an opportunity to significantly reduce material costs.

We are ready to organize a trial batch of processing to show the quality of raw materials and provide certificates of conformity. Contact us – we will turn your concrete fight into a resource.
