A new report is now available detailing the performance of the demolition industry within Europe during 2015. This has been produce by the European Demolition Association (EDA) and is titled the European Demolition Industry Report 2015. The report was compiled by the Deutscher Abbruchverband (DA), the Statistics Working Group of the EDA, headed by Andreas Pocha, general manager of DA.

The report is said to provide an overview of the demolition industry within Europe and has key information highlighting trends within the industry. It also includes market forecasts and has been based upon a standardised methodology about the demolition market.

To gather the information, EDA devised a two-phase survey that was sent out across Europe, with translations into several languages. The first phase was more general and provided a pan-European overview while the second was more detailed and provided more specific information on the demolition industry in each country.

  • Long reach equipment simplifies demolition
    February 14, 2012
    Demolition is a highly specialised business, as the machinery required to carry out the work on high-rise demolition contracts can be very site specific. Today's high reach demolition rig is no longer simply a tracked excavator with a long boom, indeed some machines cannot be used as excavators at all.
