Why Expert Concrete Demolition Matters

Concrete demolition isn’t just smashing old slabs—it’s precisely orchestrated removal of concrete driveways, sidewalks, foundations, patios, walls, and more. Fort Worth’s mix of residential, commercial, and municipal sites—with their reinforcing, utilities, and traffic patterns—means demolition must be done safely, cleanly, and within regulations.



OT Construction’s Concrete Demolition Services


1. Site Assessment & Utility Scanning

We survey the area, identify utilities, and use tools like GPR (ground-penetrating radar) to locate hidden lines or rebar before any breaking begins.


2. Selective Demolition & Breaking

From jackhammers to controlled wall sawing, we tailor techniques to each structure—whether removing a driveway section, patio, or retaining wall—with precision and minimal disruption .


3. Heavy Equipment & Slab Removal

Backhoes, excavators with hydraulic breakers, skid steers, and skid loaders clear large slabs and foundations efficiently, saving time and labor .


4. Dust Control & Safety Measures

We implement water suppression, barriers, and PPE protocols to meet OSHA and local requirements—and protect neighboring properties .


5. Debris Hauling & Recycling

Our crew hauls away concrete, sorts debris, and often recycles crushed concrete as base rock—reducing landfill waste and disposal costs .
