In the US, Texas-based Dallas Contracting has used its Eagle Ultramax 1000-15CV to crush 20000 tonnes of masonry, brick and concrete on site at a 23000 m2 former Ecolab facility.

The project saw the total demolition of the building including slabs, foundations and footings. All steel and metal were recovered and sent offsite for recycling, while the crushed materials were reused onsite for backfilling purposes.
