01 · ABOUT THIS PROJECT

We completed this waterfront cottage fire demolition and site clearing project on a steep slope overlooking the lake. Because the concrete foundation also serves as the retaining wall for the hillside material, we carefully removed all burnt debris while leaving the concrete intact for reevaluation. We built a temporary road to access the difficult grade, then used a skid steer with a grapple bucket to haul debris up to roll-off bins staged in the upper parking area. After a couple of days, the footprint was completely cleared down to clean ground.
