Professional Demolition Consultancy Limited are a unique company of Demolition Consultants also operating as Explosive Demolition Contractors specialising in all types of structural demolitions.

PDC Limited is lead by John M Faulkner, unique as a chartered civil engineer and practising explosives engineer with personal experience of the design and demolition of more than a million tonne of structures, his experience in this capacity is unrivalled.

For each demolition, we assemble and lead a team of engineers, expert in their respective fields of operation. This provides a depth of experience with which no single company can be compared. The team usually includes local demolition contractors on approved lists, respected locally for their past work systems and achievements. This maintains employment in an area with unquestionable benefit of economy of working by local knowledge for vital supplies of services equipment and materials.

All aspects of our work are fully documented to satisfy the most stringent client and government requirements. Our highly successful explosive demolition track record speaks for itself, with experience of over a million tonne of explosive demolitions we have the facility through our international insurance brokers to provide competitive Public Liability Insurance to any value, inclusive of indemnity to the principles of our employers.

Operating independently to any demolition contractor we provide a totally impartial service to both demolition contractors and their employers. Having been involved in the development of the most sophisticated 'state of the art' failsafe detonation systems we are familiar with and able to impartially advise upon those proposed by others.

The requirement to carry out explosive demolition has taken us onto close proximity demolition sites including operational chemical plants, power generating stations and the domestic housing environment of high rise tower blocks.

As demolition consultants we cover the complete spectrum of controlled collapse demolition techniques whether induced by explosives or otherwise.

As consultant demolition engineers we produce design calculations and preparation procedures for the pre-weakening of structures to create deliberate instability to render them capable of being pulled over by machines, to launch or simply pulling to displace their supports.

Where controlled collapse is not an option, we advise upon the capacity of suspended floors, propped or otherwise to carry demolition loadings resulting from mini excavators, demolition arisings, machines to be used in clearance etc., vital structural information to be incorporated in demolition proposals in the application of the more tedious work down approach.

Similar to the reverse of erection, heavy lifting methods are appropriate when carrying out demolition in close proximity or above critical installations such as operational chemical plants or over railway lines etc.

With experience of engineering heavy lifts amounting to more than 5,000 tonne of structures using the largest mobile telescopic cranes we can advise on dismantling heavy lifting requirement.

Whatever demolition you require doing, whether looking after the interests of your employer or you are a demolition contractor wanting engineer back up to you proposals, we are at your service.
