Manure Digester Demolition – South Dakota
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.

Precision Demolition & Site Protection
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.

winterize and backfilling
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.
These are just a few examples of the demolition projects we've completed across Jacksonville and the Southeast. From commercial demolition to industrial plant decommissioning, selective demolition, and total building removal, no project is too large or complex.

OUR PROCESS
Our Proven Demolition Process
01
Assessment
We begin every project with a comprehensive site evaluation and hazard survey. Our team inventories all materials, identifies potential environmental concerns, estimates demolition scope, and develops accurate cost projections. This critical first step ensures we understand every aspect of your project before work begins. Schedule your free assessment today.
02
Planning
Our experienced engineers develop detailed demolition plans, secure all required permits, coordinate utility disconnection, implement safety protocols, and notify neighbors of project timeline. We create comprehensive project schedules and establish communication protocols to keep you informed throughout demolition. Planning typically takes 2-4 weeks depending on project complexity.
03
Execution
Controlled demolition begins with equipment mobilization and systematic structure removal. Our crews maintain constant safety monitoring, implement dust and noise control measures, provide daily progress updates, and document all work. We maintain strict OSHA compliance and zero-incident safety protocols throughout execution, whether it's high-reach demolition or selective interior removal.
04
Reclamation
After structure removal, our team sorts and separates materials for recycling and recovery. We haul debris, clear the site to grade, and handle final restoration. Scrap metal recycling generates value that we pass along to you. This phase ensures your site is clean, clear, and ready for your next project.
