East Midlands Demolition and the students of Derby College, held a raffle that gave one lucky student the chance to start the demolition of the Design Centre building. The lucky winner helped to kick off the demolition of the building by cutting into the front of the building with a bit of heavy duty equipment! The remainder of the project was carried out with East Midlands Demolition's customary care and attention, and as much of the demolished material as possible was recycled and put back into the on-going new housing build by Persimmon Homes.

East Midlands Demolition's award winning Clipstone Colliery project paid dividends for the local environment. The site is still accepting ex coal inert waste, which would otherwise have been destined for landfill areas in Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire.

The original Clipstone Colliery demolition project salvaged an astonishing 96% of all materials turned up during work. As well as conducting a safe and environmentally conscious demolition of a huge site, which presented asbestos and slurry as well as the normal structural materials (copper; concrete; steel; iron), East Midlands Demolition then prepared the ground for future use, using infilling and levelling techniques to restore the Colliery site to its original tillable field condition.

East Midlands Demolition added another high profile client to its books in 2011 when e.on UK, who operates the Ratcliffe on Soar power station, needed a small store building taking down.
e.on manages the Ratcliffe on Soar Power Plant with a close eye on its environmental impact, and has introduced a series of initiatives to offset any potential effect that the coal fired power plant might have. EMD has long made a practice of incorporating large scale recycling into its work and has spearheaded its own expansion project with the purchase of £500,000 worth of environmentally friendly equipment.

East Midlands Demolition played a major role in the Derbyshire arm of the Government's Building Schools for the Future project. The company fulfilled sustainable demolition contracts at the Heritage School in Clowne; the Springwell Community School in Staveley; and the Bolsover School. East Midlands Demolition provided a stable platform for these vital institutions to breathe new life into their local areas.

East Midlands Demolition works under the motto 'Clearing the Way for the Future'. The Building Schools for the Future projects are perfectly keyed to the sentiment, with each school receiving purpose built blocks and classrooms tailored to its educational specialties. Every school in the project was also given an expanded ICT learning presence, with a Virtual Learning Environment backing up the 'real world' lessons given in the new classrooms.

East Midlands Demolition has excelled even its own high standards with an outstanding piece of project management at the site of the former Clipstone Colliery in Nottinghamshire. The company has run an extraordinary demolition and reclamation project on the site structures, both above and below ground - and has managed to salvage an astonishing 96% of turned up materials for reuse, resale and recycling.
