Safety & credentials
Zero lost-time incidents. Since 2017. On purpose.
Demolition inside a working building is not about force. It is about sequence, protection, fire discipline and proof. Here is what backs that up, and what your onboarding will ask us for.
How the record stays at zero
Programs, not promises
Daily pre-task briefing
Every morning, every job: the day's cuts, the load paths, who is on fire watch, what changed since yesterday. An owner runs it, on the floor.
Hot-work permit and fire watch
BCK pulls the hot-work permit on every torch job and writes the fire plan to that site. Welding blankets, shields and barriers at every station, three extinguishers on the job, charged-water access verified at the walk. Dedicated fire watch during cutting and a post-work watch of at least 30 minutes after hot work stops, longer when the site requires it. Heavy flame work goes outdoors whenever the section can travel first.
Rigging discipline
Weights characterized before the first cut, load paths planned, purpose-built rigging proof-tested before it carries a load. Skates, winches, chain hoists and a gantry on the truck; cranes arranged per job from the companies serving that area. Nothing gets picked on a guess.
Confined space and pits
We plan the cut sequence to stay out of confined spaces wherever we can, working from the outside in and the top down, which is possible on most jobs. When entry is unavoidable it is planned for that site before anyone goes in. We have been in enough pits and tank interiors to respect them.
Silica and dust
Wet methods and HEPA capture when we cut masonry, refractory or a concrete pad, per OSHA Table 1, which is rare in our scope. Dust control at the door on every occupied job.
PPE, every person, every day
Hard hat, eye protection, gloves, respiratory protection when the work calls for it. Owners, crew and the OSHA-trained bench we call for bigger jobs alike. No exceptions.
Refrigerant
Recovered, weighed, documented
Refrigerant recovery is regulated under EPA Section 608 and nothing gets vented on our jobs. Our EPA 608 Universal certified tech recovers it in house, or a certified recovery partner does when the size of the job makes that the smarter call. Either way it is cylindered by type, weighed, and reported in a signed record: pounds by type, cylinder manifest, technician certification, receiving facility. That record goes in your closeout.
Asbestos
Licensed work stays licensed
Older mechanical rooms hide asbestos in insulation, gaskets and pipe wrap. Abatement in Colorado is licensed work and we don't do it. When it is present or suspected, a licensed abatement contractor retained by the client clears it first, we coordinate our schedule with theirs, and then we cut. If we find suspect material mid-job we stop in that area and notify you before anyone touches it. Share your asbestos survey with us at the walk and it goes in the plan.

Credentials
Held and in progress
- Held: OSHA 30-Hour Construction, both managing members. EPA Section 608 Universal, Saber Dean. Forklift certification, Gadge Bell. Every field hand OSHA-trained; no day-labor pools.
- In progress: rigger-signaler and CPR/AED for both owners; forklift for Saber Dean; EPA 608 for Gadge Bell.
- Planned: demolition supervisor certification, and the coverage depth and certified payroll that institutional and government work asks for.
We publish what we hold and say plainly what we are still earning. Ask for the cards; we will send them.
Boilers. Chillers. Mechanical systems.
We make them disappear.
A range in about a minute, or a site walk and a written proposal within 48 hours. Either way you're talking to an owner.
