Professional Demolition Services You Can Trust Every Step of the Way

Complete Demolition, Recycling & Surplus Services

Comprehensive scrap metal and material recovery services. We buy ferrous and non-ferrous metals, stainless steel, copper, aluminum, and more, maximizing your return while minimizing environmental impact through responsible recycling practices.



Full decommissioning of industrial plants and manufacturing facilities, including process equipment removal, utility disconnection, and structural teardown. We coordinate every phase so the site is cleared safely and efficiently.



Specialized equipment for tall structures, smokestacks, silos, water towers, and multi-story buildings where standard methods won't work. Our high-reach capabilities allow us to safely demolish challenging structures with precision.

Precision cutting, dismantling, and removal of structural steel from industrial buildings and frameworks. Our crews handle heavy steel structures safely, recovering the material for scrap value along the way.

Safe dismantling and removal of industrial and manufacturing equipment, process lines, and machinery. We coordinate disconnection, rigging, and transport, identifying assets that can be recovered or resold along the way.

Targeted removal of specific structures, equipment, or building sections within an active industrial site, while protecting surrounding operations and infrastructure. Ideal for phased plant upgrades and partial facility teardowns.

Removal of concrete slabs, foundations, and footings, including crushing and recycling of concrete material. We leave the site clear and graded, ready for the next phase of development.

We identify and acquire surplus equipment, machinery, and materials with resale value before demolition begins. This asset recovery process can help offset your project costs while keeping usable equipment in circulation.

Final debris removal, grading, and site clearing once demolition and material recovery are complete, leaving your site ready for its next use.

Safety is our top priority on every project. We maintain rigorous OSHA compliance protocols, conduct daily safety briefings, provide continuous safety training to our crews, and maintain a zero-incident safety goal. Our safety programs exceed industry standards.



We recover over 90% of demolition materials through our comprehensive recycling program, significantly reducing landfill waste. Our sustainable practices support LEED certification projects and help clients achieve environmental sustainability goals while recovering maximum material value.



A Different Approach to Demolition

We Don't Automatically Scrap Everything

Before any structure comes down, our team walks the site to identify equipment, metals, and other assets that have resale or recycling value. When possible, we recover those assets and use the proceeds to help offset your project costs, delivering demolition services alongside measurable financial return, not just a bill for teardown.

Recent Demolition Projects in Jacksonville

2.5 Million Gallon Industrial Digester | Full Dismantlement & Demolition

Backsight Demolition successfully completed the dismantlement and demolition of a 2.5 million gallon manure digester system at an agricultural energy facility in South Dakota.

This project required a highly specialized industrial approach due to the scale of the structure and structural damage sustained prior to operation.



Given the remote location and the complexity of the digester’s construction, our team implemented a carefully phased demolition plan that prioritized safety, environmental compliance, and structural control at every stage. Specialized equipment and precision techniques were used to methodically dismantle the system while minimizing impact to surrounding infrastructure and the underlying foundation. Throughout the process, Backsight Demolition maintained strict adherence to project timelines and site regulations, delivering a clean, efficient teardown that prepared the facility for its next phase of development.

To further protect the concrete foundation during and after demolition, the pad was winterized by backfilling over the surface and covering it with tarps, ensuring protection from weather exposure and maintaining its condition for future use.
