Let's Break it Down
At YORK1, we understand that each demolition project is not merely a task it's a responsibility. With our seasoned expertise, we confidently guide our clients towards impeccable abatement, demolition, and site remediation, all while upholding the highest standards of regulation and health and safety protocols. Anticipation, precision, and leadership are our guiding principles, ensuring our clients face no future liabilities.
Every structure has its life cycle, and at its end, two critical elements emerge; the efficient dismantling of the structure and the responsible disposal of waste. As recognized leaders in the field, YORK1 effectively addresses both of these facets, consistently delivering excellence across residential, commercial, industrial, or municipal sites throughout Canada.
Health and safety aren't mere checklist items; they are our cornerstone. Our rigorous quality management programs, formulated with insights from our dedicated team, ascertain the complete safety of every site. The foundation of YORK1's esteemed reputation is our unwavering team. Our commitment ensures not just project success but an unwavering dedication to client satisfaction.
We pride ourselves on our comprehensive grasp of demolition services, encompassing abatement and managing projects with sensitive requirements. With a distinct focus on environmental responsibility, YORK1 promises not just excellent service but a commitment to our client's peace of mind. Our expertise shines especially bright in institutional demolition—schools, hospitals, government structures, and more.

Hotel D’eau Hospital
The demolition of the main hospital building, a six-story reinforced concrete structure encompassing nearly 240,000 SF, was demolished using a fleet of demolition equipped excavators, led by our 70’ and 90’ high reach excavators. All of the C&D waste was disposed of, and once the foundations and footings were removed, the concrete was crushed and recycled off-site.
Scott Park High School
The school building was a large 6 story high, steel and block structure. The entire steel structure had been sprayed with an asbestos containing fireproofing when it was built. Prior to any other work taking place, this friable material had to be removed following Type 3 removal procedures.
Grace Hospital Windsor
The scope of work for this project included the site clean up & asbestos abatement, followed by the complete demolition and site restoration of the contaminated site.
