Internal Demolition
Ultimo 2007

Internal demolition in Ultimo means removing precisely what the design says and nothing more — walls, slab sections, finishes and services taken out while the retained structure is propped and protected. In dense education, media and warehouse-conversion buildings pressed against the Powerhouse precinct, structural surprises are common, so we scan and verify before cutting.

For internal demolition in Ultimo, the local starting point is dense education, media and warehouse-conversion buildings pressed against the Powerhouse precinct. That building stock determines what must be inspected, isolated or retained before our crew can deliver selective internal demolition with structure and services protected. Access is planned around a compact one-way grid shared with students and pedestrians all day, every day, rather than assumed from a standard machine-and-truck allowance.

Our Sydney Metro team scopes internal demolition against the conditions found in Ultimo, including this local constraint: Work zones in Ultimo are booked weeks ahead with the City of Sydney because footpath occupancy is the scarcest resource on any project here. The service plan also follows the region's material pathway: load-outs are sequenced into night windows and hauled to recycling stations outside the CBD to keep laneways clear. This is recorded in the quote as a service-specific method, not added later as a generic local surcharge.
