Case Study: Curry Road Six-Acre Site
Commercial Demolition and Site Clearing in Tempe, AZ
When Tasmanian Works needed to clear a severely neglected six-acre commercial site they turned to Dump Brothers Demolition. The property was overwhelmed with abandoned structures, broken granite, junk vehicles, and hazardous debris—drawing pressure from the City of Tempe for immediate remediation.
Our mission: clear the land, remove over 3,150 square feet of structures, haul away 110 tons of granite and construction debris, and bring the site into full code compliance—all while prioritizing safety, efficiency, and responsible disposal.
Navigating Challenges on a Complex Site
- The project came with significant hurdles:
- Hazardous Conditions: Biohazards, used needles, and illegal encampments posed serious safety risks.
- Buried Debris: Granite and tile were buried in a trench 3 feet deep, spanning 25 feet long and 24 feet wide.
- Logistical Coordination: Managing large equipment, debris bins, and manual labor across six acres required strategic staging and constant workflow management.
Strategic Execution: Clearing Six Acres Safely
- Our team mobilized quickly with a phased approach:
- Garage Clean-Out: We used skid steers with grapple buckets to empty 20 garages filled with debris, freeing up space for equipment access.
- Granite and Tile Excavation: Excavators dug out over 110 tons of stone and construction material, which were hauled to dedicated bins for responsible disposal.
- Structure Demolition: Mobile homes, trailers, awnings, and wood additions were demolished efficiently with a large excavator, ensuring safe, controlled teardowns.
- Hand Rake & Hazard Sweep: A 6-person crew completed a detailed hand raking and hazard sweep, removing sharps and fine debris to restore safety to the property.
- Recycling and Responsible Disposal: Scrap metals were sorted for recycling, tires and hazardous materials were properly disposed of, and all junk was transported to licensed facilities.
- Our combined use of heavy equipment and manual labor ensured we tackled every square foot of the site safely and efficiently.
Project Success: A New Beginning for the Property
