Transmission Line and Tower Demolition
Power transmission lines, telecom towers and broadcast masts brought down safely and the steel recovered. Linear jobs across hundreds of spans or a single tower behind a live exchange.
- ✓Transmission line decommissioning, conductor and tower removal
- ✓Telecom tower and rooftop mast demolition
- ✓Broadcast and microwave structure removal
- ✓Engineered drop zones or piece-small dismantling
- ✓Tower steel recovered and credited
Towers come down one of two ways, and choosing right is the whole job
Where there is room, a tower is felled in a controlled drop: engineered, predictable and fast. Where there is not, next to live infrastructure, on rooftops, inside compounds, it comes apart piece by piece with cranes and riggers. Pricing a tower job is really pricing that decision correctly across every structure on the run.
On linear transmission work the game is production: crews leapfrogging along the easement, conductor recovered and drummed, towers dropped and processed, access tracks reinstated behind you so landholders stay friendly.
What we remove
- Steel lattice transmission towers and concrete poles
- Conductor, earthwire and OPGW recovery across full line lengths
- Telecom monopoles, lattice towers and rooftop installations
- Broadcast masts, guyed and free-standing
- Antennas, feeders and headframe equipment ahead of structure removal
Working around live networks
Most tower work happens next to something that must stay on: an adjacent live circuit, a shared telecom site, an exchange building below. Outage windows, permits to work, exclusion zones and rigging plans are coordinated with the network owner, and our crews hold the utility inductions this work demands.
The steel comes back as money
Tower steel is clean, heavy and valuable. Every tonne is weighed and the scrap credit shown on the price, which on long line removals materially changes the project cost. Concrete footings can be removed to depth or cut down and buried to the landholder agreement, priced either way up front.
Pricing a line decommissioning? Send the line schedule or tower count and locations. We will price production rates per structure honestly, including access and reinstatement.
Where we work
Sydney head office, Brisbane yard, crews Australia wide. Mine and infrastructure work runs on FIFO and staged mobilisations to every state, including remote sites.
Questions we get asked
Can you drop a tower next to a live line?
With the right outage planning and engineered drop design, usually yes. Where clearances are impossible we dismantle piece-small instead. Both are standard for us.
Do you recover the conductor too?
Yes, conductor and earthwire are recovered, drummed or chopped, and the aluminium and copper value credited separately from the tower steel.
What about landholder access?
Access, gates, tracks and reinstatement are agreed before we start and closed out property by property, because the network owner wears the relationship long after we leave.
Rooftop telecom structures in the city?
Yes, crane lifts or piece-small removal by riggers, night work where the building needs it, and the building manager kept in the loop throughout.
Towers or a whole line to come down?
