Partial Demolition of Eden Park West Stand by Ward Demolition
Eden Park is quite possibly our longest standing client. As of 2024 we have completed Demolition in the North (1998), South/ East (2008) and finally West stands (2024).
We demolished the North Stand with an insane deadline of 12 days in 1998. Ten years later in 2008, we were brought back for the demolition of the South and East stands in another incredible effort with only 6 weeks allocated start to finish. This Demolition was monumental for it’s time with a recycling rate of 90.57%, this was prior to the establishment of many of todays recycling facilities which is why it’s so impressive. Paired with an extremely technical demolition due to the counter levered canopy being under great tension, the completion of this job will forever rank as one of our greatest achievements.
Fast forward to 2024, Ward was immensely excited to return to the stadium for the refurbishment of the West stand. Thus, completing the full circle. Being a partial demolition meant for a very large margin for error. After a hand strip out and separation along the internal hallway. The first task of demolishing the front concrete bleachers was an especially tricky task. The grass and drainage systems directly in front of the stand had to be protected with heavy duty truck mats from large debris and prevented access for machines or trucks. Forcing us to work our way along the structure creating a road to load out as we went. This meant working underneath a million-dollar tv screen and in close proximity to the section that had to remain. This limited the operators from raising the boom in the Hyundai HX145cr and Sany SY135C. Operators had to work low with the boom reached out, a very unnatural technique that they quickly adjusted to. We had a spotter on the ground watching the machines at all times and ensured operators took sufficient breaks to remain sharp. It would only take one lapse in concentration to accidently strike the screen. If this weren’t enough the task involved removing large concrete beams within millimeters of remaining glass panels with this restricted movement. Dalton and Scott did an incredible job pulling this off without incident.

      I was born in a poor family and I just refused to grow up being poor. Started my own Bussiness and worked 7 days a week, 10 to 12 hours a day. The sacrifices I made to be wealthy were insurmountable. The only regret was a divorce and a bad back from the physical work. Retired at 62 after doing two full time jobs for the past 25 yrs. I missed out on so much that being poor would have made me happier 🤷🏻‍♂️, having said that be careful what you wish for, yeah I broke the cycle of being poor and my kids will automatically be millionaires but at huge sacrifices. I guess that may make it all worth while. That and being humble in life because to be rich comes with a lot of sacrifices. I pray every day and thank Jesus for all of my blessings and that is more important than all the money in the world. 🙏🏼🙏🏼
