When you’re working against a non-negotiable deadline—like demolition at Beaver Stadium between football seasons—demolition becomes more than just a matter of tearing things down. It’s a test of readiness. And readiness means having the right equipment, the right people, and the operational depth to execute safely, quickly, and efficiently.
At ISI Demolition, projects like FSU Stadium, Flagler Street, and Church of the Resurrection aren’t just about showing up with big machines. They are about showing up with a complete, high-performing team—one prepared for the demands of a large-scale, complex demolition project.
Why the Right Equipment Matters
Not all demolition equipment is created equal—and not every job calls for the same tools. For the press box demolition at Beaver Stadium, ISI Demolition deployed a tailored mix of heavy equipment designed to move quickly and safely in a stadium environment:
- Volvo High-Reach Excavators for precise dismantling at height, reducing the need for manual labor in elevated areas and allowing for controlled removal of steel and concrete.
- 750 and 490 Excavators, powerful enough to break through reinforced structures and move heavy materials with speed.
- End Dumps to continuously haul debris off-site, keeping the jobsite clean and eliminating slowdowns from material buildup.
- 10 Boom Lifts from Sunbelt Rentals, used for elevated prep, selective removal, and cleanup, giving the crew safe and efficient access across multiple levels.
A big part of staying on schedule is having everything you need, exactly when you need it. Because we own our fleet and maintain it in-house, we don’t waste time waiting on rentals or last-minute fixes.
But what truly sets ISI Demolition apart is not just what we brought to this job—it’s what we bring to every job. We own and maintain a full fleet of demolition equipment capable of supporting projects of all sizes and scopes. From compact interior demolition to full-scale structural takedowns, our company has the tools—and the logistical muscle—to scale up or down as needed.
It’s one thing to have the right equipment, but it’s another thing to keep it job-ready. Our in-house shop makes that possible.
ISI Demolition’s fleet includes high-reach excavators, crushers, loaders, skid steers, material handlers, and support vehicles—backed by an in-house mechanical team that ensures every machine is safe, operational, and ready to perform.
This depth of resources means we can respond quickly to schedule changes, add capacity when needed, and maintain full control over the pace and quality of demolition operations—something that’s critical when working within a narrow construction window like Beaver Stadium’s.
Because we control our fleet, we’re never caught off guard. Whether it’s a last-minute equipment shift or scaling up for a tight deadline, we’ve got what we need, when we need it.
A Crew Built for Speed—and Safety
Of course, equipment alone doesn’t get the job done. ISI Demolition’s strength comes from the team operating that equipment—and the systems that support them.
Every ISI Demolition crew member undergoes extensive, role-specific training. From OSHA 10 and 30 certifications to specialized equipment licenses and hazard-specific training (including asbestos awareness and confined space safety), our team members arrive on-site prepared for whatever the job demands.
Demolition is high-risk by nature, but we reduce that risk through preparation and training. Our people know the expectations, the hazards, and how to get the job done right.
Behind the scenes, every project includes oversight from a layered leadership team, including project managers, estimators, quality managers, and in-house structural engineers. Safety specialists are embedded on every job and lead daily briefings, equipment checks, and hazard analyses.
We don’t outsource safety. It’s part of our culture. That’s what keeps our crews moving fast and staying safe.
No Project Too Big or Too Complex
When it comes to demolition, scale and complexity go hand in hand. ISI Demolition has spent over three decades proving that both can be handled without compromise.
With more than 5,500 completed projects and a reputation for tackling everything from stadiums and hospitals to data centers and historic structures, we bring unmatched expertise to every job site. The company is built to handle the unique demands of large-scale demolition—from aggressive schedules to limited access, environmental considerations, and structural sensitivity.
Whether we’re demoing a single façade or removing 4 million pounds of steel, we treat each job with the same level of preparation and professionalism. That’s how you deliver consistency—even on the most complex jobs.
Behind that capability is a fleet of specialized demolition equipment that’s owned and maintained in-house, ensuring both availability and reliability. That means no delays waiting on third-party rentals, no outsourcing critical operations, and no compromises when it comes to safety or speed.
Our layered team structure is a deliberate system designed to reduce risk, improve communication, and keep things moving—even when conditions change.
At ISI, the promise is simple: no project is too big, too complex, or too fast-paced. The team is ready—and equipped—to make it happen.
