Why Choose Master Demolition for Plant Demolition in Ontario
Certified, Insured, and Compliant
Master Demolition holds all required WSIB coverage, liability insurance, and safety certifications. Every member of our team is trained in OHSA and MOL compliance, ensuring your site meets all provincial and environmental regulations.
Engineering Precision
Industrial plants often involve heavy steel structures, complex mechanical systems, and hazardous materials. Our in-house engineers design a site-specific demolition plan that ensures stability, load control, and precise sequencing of each phase.
Safety First, Always
Our zero-incident record is maintained through detailed job hazard assessments, confined-space procedures, and controlled dismantling methods. We use advanced monitoring equipment to prevent dust, vibration, and environmental impact.
Sustainable Waste Management
We maintain an industry-leading recycling rate of 90%+ for non-hazardous materials. From scrap steel to concrete and wood, we sort and transport recyclables to approved recovery facilities, keeping disposal costs low and sustainability high.
Our Plant Demolition Process
1. Site Assessment & Planning
Every demolition begins with a detailed assessment of structural materials, utilities, and environmental hazards. We identify load-bearing elements, equipment anchorage, and potential contamination to create a precise removal strategy.
2. Permitting & Compliance
We coordinate with local municipalities, fire departments, and environmental authorities to secure all necessary demolition permits and engineering clearances. Our team ensures full adherence to Ontario Building Code and environmental bylaws.
3. Equipment Removal & Decommissioning
Before structural demolition begins, we disconnect utilities, drain fluids, and safely remove mechanical and electrical components. Our technicians handle machine dismantling, tank removal, and pipework disassembly with minimal disruption.
4. Structural Dismantling
Heavy equipment such as excavators with shears, hydraulic breakers, and high-reach booms are used to methodically deconstruct the plant. This controlled approach allows for selective demolition, minimizing dust and debris spread.
5. Waste Segregation & Recycling
Recovered materials are sorted on-site — steel, concrete, brick, and non-ferrous metals are separated for recycling. Contaminated or hazardous substances are disposed of through certified environmental channels.
6. Final Grading & Site Preparation
Once the demolition is complete, our crew performs site cleanup, backfilling, and grading to prepare the land for redevelopment, construction, or environmental restoration.
Specialized Capabilities for Industrial Environments
Heavy Equipment & High-Rise Plant Structures
We’re equipped with advanced machinery capable of safely dismantling tall chimneys, silos, and industrial towers. Remote-controlled equipment ensures maximum operator safety in restricted areas.
Confined Space & Hazardous Material Handling
Our team is trained in confined-space protocols and asbestos, lead, and mold abatement. If contamination is detected, our environmental division performs safe removal before demolition continues.
Decommissioning Coordination
For active or partially operational facilities, we coordinate demolition around ongoing operations. This minimizes downtime and ensures seamless transitions between production, shutdown, and redevelopment phases.

FAQs for Plant Demolition Ontario
Q: What is the difference between plant dismantling and industrial demolition?
A: Plant dismantling focuses on the careful removal of machinery, equipment, and internal systems within a single facility, while industrial demolition covers broader site-wide structural removal.
In Ontario, Master Demolition provides tailored plant dismantling services that minimize disruption and maintain full compliance with safety and environmental regulations.
Q: How long does a plant decommissioning project usually take in Ontario?
A: The duration of a plant decommissioning project depends on factors such as facility size, material types, and environmental conditions.
Smaller plants may take a few weeks, while larger or contaminated sites require several months. Our Ontario-based team conducts a detailed assessment to provide accurate timelines before work begins.
Q: Can production equipment be salvaged or reused after a plant is taken down?
A: Yes. During the industrial facility dismantling process, reusable machinery and components are safely removed, tagged, and prepared for relocation or resale.
Master Demolition works closely with plant owners to recover valuable assets while ensuring safe removal of non-reusable structures.
Q: Do Ontario regulations require special permits for plant removal?
A: Yes. Any plant removal or structural demolition in Ontario requires municipal permits and engineering approval.
Our team manages all permit applications and coordinates with local authorities to ensure that your project meets the Ontario Building Code, environmental standards, and occupational health and safety laws.
