Demolition Contractor in Tasman East, Santa Clara

Industrial Demolition for the Tasman East Plan

Tasman East is the roughly 45-acre wedge north of Tasman Drive, between Lafayette Street and the Guadalupe River. Until recently it was almost entirely one story industrial and warehouse buildings with yards and parking. The city adopted a specific plan for it in 2018, and high-rise apartment buildings have been going up along Tasman Drive since.

The parcels that have not yet been rebuilt still hold those older buildings. Demolition there means concrete and steel structures, truck courts, chain link and block walls, and paving that covers most of each lot. Developers want the whole parcel cleared down to native soil or to an agreed subgrade, ready for deep foundations and underground parking.

Some of these parcels are being assembled from two or three older lots, so fence lines, shared driveways and separate utility services cross what will become one building site. We trace each service back to its source before cutting it and remove the old property-line fencing as the parcels combine.

Demolishing Next to New Tasman East Residents

Tasman East used to be almost all workplaces. Now the remaining industrial lots sit beside occupied apartment towers, which changes how demolition has to be done. Dust, noise, vibration and truck traffic affect people who live a few hundred feet away, not just other businesses.

We plan Tasman East jobs with that in mind: water trucks and misting to keep dust down, sound-conscious sequencing so the loudest breaking happens mid-day, fencing with screening along shared edges, and clean streets at the end of every shift. Vibration-sensitive work near finished buildings is planned with the project team.

Tasman East Demolition Around Levi's Stadium Events

Levi's Stadium sits just across Lafayette Street, and on game and concert days the roads around Tasman East fill up hours ahead of the event. Lanes close, parking lots fill and traffic control takes over. A demolition site that ignores the event calendar can end up with trucks stuck in traffic and loads that cannot leave.

We check the stadium schedule when we plan hauling and shift heavy truck days around events. The VTA light rail line on Tasman Drive is another factor; trucks have to cross or turn near the tracks, so we route them to keep conflicts down.

• Hauling planned around stadium events
• Routes that limit light rail crossings
• Dust and noise control for nearby residents
• Street cleaning every shift

Permits, Utilities and Recycling in Tasman East

The City of Santa Clara issues the demolition permits, and the usual sequence applies: hazardous materials and asbestos surveys, certified abatement where needed, and the BAAQMD notification before the structure comes down. Silicon Valley Power handles electric service removal, which on industrial parcels can include transformers it owns, and PG&E shuts off gas.

Most of the weight leaving a Tasman East parcel is concrete and asphalt. We sort it on site so it can be crushed and recycled, either reused under the new project or hauled to a recycler, and we keep the records needed for CALGreen.
