Commercial Concrete Staircase Demolition – Macleod Trail, Calgary
Makki Demolition was contracted to remove an aging reinforced concrete staircase at a commercial property along Macleod Trail in Calgary. The structure had become a liability due to deterioration and was slated for replacement as part of a property modernization initiative. The project required precision cutting, controlled demolition techniques, and careful debris management to protect adjacent building elements and minimize disruption to the active commercial site.
