Precision demolition & hauling
Calgary Concrete Removal Experts
Aging concrete pads, heaved sidewalks, and overbuilt foundations can stall renovations across Calgary neighbourhoods from Evanston to Inglewood. Our crews survey existing conditions, mark underground utilities, and design a removal plan that protects adjacent structures while clearing the way for your next phase. Every project is led by a site supervisor who coordinates communication with general contractors, property managers, and homeowners.
We mobilize hydraulic breakers, skid steers, and dump trucks sized for downtown alleys and suburban cul-de-sacs alike. By sequencing saw-cutting with debris handling, we keep noise windows tight and ensure work areas remain accessible to residents and businesses. Our team installs temporary fencing, signage, and dust suppression to keep pedestrians safe while heavy equipment operates.
Compliance is built into every step. We document haul tickets, recycle clean aggregate, and supply engineered shoring plans when concrete removal interacts with structural components. From removing trench footings to clearing parkade ramps, Makki Abatement delivers predictable timelines and tidy handoffs to forming crews, asphalt installers, and landscapers.
Concrete removal capabilities across Calgary
Each scope is tailored to your site logistics, whether you are working in a downtown tower or a residential cul-de-sac.
- Driveways, patios, and garage slabs broken out and hauled away for infill home rebuilds.
- Commercial floor removal with dust-controlled saw-cutting and nightly debris removal.
- Structural concrete demolition coordinated with engineers when beams, columns, or load-bearing walls are affected.
- Utility trenching and excavation support, including backfill and compaction after concrete removal.
How we protect neighbouring assets
Tight sites demand careful staging. Our supervisors coordinate with tenants, security teams, and city inspectors to prevent disruption.
- Pre-removal condition photos and vibration monitoring when working near glass storefronts or delicate finishes.
- Reusable ground protection mats to protect landscaping and driveways from heavy equipment.
- Coordinated loading schedules to maintain fire lane access and minimize downtime for other trades.
Hauling, recycling, and backfill
We streamline disposal so your site is ready for the next contractor without delay.
Clean concrete is separated from rebar, soil, and insulation so it can be recycled into new aggregate mixes at Calgary facilities. Contaminated loads are handled under Alberta Environment guidelines with manifests supplied for your records.
When basement or parkade slabs are removed, we bring in compacted gravel to stabilize the subgrade and prevent water pooling while reconstruction is underway.
Our trucking partners provide same-day haul-out capacity, even during peak construction season. Weight tickets and landfill receipts are provided within 24 hours so cost tracking remains transparent.
Need temporary access restored? We install steel plates or plywood ramps so residents and trades can keep moving until the new structure is poured.

Crews coordinate City of Calgary lane closures, utility locates, and landfill bookings before arrival so removal starts the moment equipment unloads.
Breakers, skid steers, and tandem dumps rotate between downtown alleys and suburban cul-de-sacs to keep debris moving without queueing on public roads.
Clean slabs are crushed at Calgary aggregate recyclers, while contaminated concrete is documented separately with manifests for your project files.
Typical Calgary concrete removal sequence
Each stage is documented so stakeholders can anticipate equipment movements, noise windows, and the moment your site is ready for the next trade.

Pair your concrete removal with selective demolition for interior strip-outs, schedule asbestos abatement when hazardous materials are present, or leverage our asbestos testing team to verify suspect materials before work begins.
Calgary concrete removal FAQs
How quickly can you remove a concrete driveway in Calgary?
Most residential driveway removals are completed within one to two days. We sequence saw-cutting, slab breaking, and hauling so your site is ready for forming crews immediately after our work is finished.
Do you handle permits and traffic management?
Yes. Our project managers coordinate City of Calgary right-of-way permits, lane closures, and sidewalk detours whenever demolition impacts public areas, keeping your project compliant and on schedule.
Can you recycle the removed concrete?
We separate clean concrete and transport it to approved recycling facilities in Calgary. Reusing aggregate keeps disposal costs down and helps meet sustainability targets for commercial projects.
