Supporting High-Volume Construction & Demolition Waste Disposal for a Construction Company

Large-scale construction waste removal that enabled uninterrupted project execution under tight timelines.

Overview
A Singapore-based construction contractor engaged Gee Hoe Seng Pte Ltd (GHS) to support an active construction project that generated a substantial volume of construction and demolition (C&D) hardcore waste. The objective was to ensure timely, high-capacity waste removal to maintain site safety, prevent congestion, and allow construction works to proceed without disruption.

Challenge
As construction activities progressed, the project generated an exceptionally large volume of hardcore waste, including concrete rubble and heavy demolition debris. Within a one-month period, approximately 250 truckloads, averaging 40 tonnes per load, were required to be cleared — amounting to an estimated 10,000 tonnes of construction and demolition waste.

The scale and pace of waste generation posed several challenges:
– High-frequency waste accumulation risked site congestion
– Continuous construction works required uninterrupted waste clearance
– Tight project timelines left little margin for delays caused by inefficient disposal

Our Approach
GHS implemented a structured and coordinated construction waste disposal plan designed to support high-volume operations under compressed timelines.

Our approach included:
– Deployment of dedicated trucks and drivers to support continuous demolition waste removal
– Daily, high-frequency collections aligned closely with construction progress
– Close coordination with the site team to integrate waste clearance seamlessly into on-site workflows
This ensured that waste removal activities complemented, rather than disrupted, ongoing construction operations.

Results
Within one month, the project achieved:
– Successful clearance of approximately 250 truckloads of construction and demolition hardcore waste
– An estimated 10,000 tonnes of waste removed without disruption to construction activities
– Improved site housekeeping and safer working conditions throughout the project period
Waste that could have caused significant bottlenecks was removed efficiently, allowing construction works to continue as planned.

Impact
The timely removal of large-scale construction and demolition waste enabled uninterrupted project execution, reduced operational risks associated with waste accumulation, and improved overall site organization. By maintaining consistent waste clearance at scale, the contractor was able to focus on construction delivery while ensuring responsible and compliant handling of all hardcore waste streams.

Conclusion
Through proactive planning, high-capacity logistics, and close on-site coordination, GHS supported the successful management of one of the project’s most operationally demanding aspects — large-scale construction waste disposal in Singapore. This case demonstrates how structured disposal strategies and reliable execution play a critical role in keeping complex construction projects on track.
