Find circular demolition salvage in Breda

Find circular demolition salvage in Breda In Breda, you can follow a circular demolition that saved concrete, steel, and bricks from a 23,000 square metre hall at Prinsenhil. The parts came off the old building in a way that lets a new hall, a path, or a home renovation use them again. What you can do in Breda - Read how the hall at Prinsenhil was taken apart, then ask a builder to copy those steps (WDP circular demolition story) - Look for salvaged beams, roof panels, insulation, clinker, and steel from this kind of job - Ask for the old concrete floor to stay on site as a new base or a site road - Ask the city to write selective taking-apart into the next demolition tender - If you renovate, ask for used parts before you order new ones How to join This is a company practice, not an open workshop. WDP and the demolition firm Gubbels described the job in February 2023. The first phase was about 90 percent done. A new building on that part was expected by the end of that year. A second taking-apart was due in early 2024, with a new building later that year. Each taking-apart was expected to last eight to nine weeks. Do not walk onto a live site. Check the WDP page for what the firms say now about salvage sales. Why it matters in Breda A neighbour who renovates can use a beam or a brick that already exists. On this job the concrete floor stayed on the ground as a base and as a road, so it did not have to leave by truck. Stone was planned for green noise walls along walking and training paths, which gives plants and birds a place beside the path. Find more community projects in Breda. Good to know - What is circular demolition in Breda? Crews unscrew and sort the hall so materials stay useful. The old habit was to smash everything. This way takes more time, and a crew sometimes needs to learn the new steps. - Can I buy the old parts? Gubbels sold most parts to people who renovate. Regular buyers saw the list first. Leftovers were offered on Marktplaats.

In the February 2023 note the first phase was about 90 percent done, and a second taking-apart was planned for early 2024. Those dates are a record of the method, not an invitation to a live tour. Salvage was sold mainly to private renovators. Regular buyers saw the measured, photographed list first. When & where Prinsenhil, Breda, the Netherlands.
