Sometimes it's the small changes that make the biggest impact.

The Empire Services team is helping enhance a local university campus through a variety of improvements. One recent upgrade involved excavating an area to prepare for a new entrance, improving both accessibility and appearance.

Below, our crew removes a section of curb and existing signage to make way for the next phase of work, including a rock delivery from our affiliate, Delaware Valley Contractors. Coordinating this work alongside the installation of a new fence required careful planning and teamwork to keep the project moving forward safely and efficiently.

Stay tuned for more project updates!

Star Wars has R2-D2. Empire Services has RT-82!

Exciting progress is underway on a redevelopment project in Reading, PA! We successfully demolished the structures in front of the buildings that will remain and eventually be repurposed. To gain further access into the building, the open work area needed to be properly backfilled. Below, a team member operates a Wacker Neuson RT-82 trench roller via remote control to compact the stone backfill material.

If you ever played the game Operation, you probably remember the pressure. One wrong move with the tweezers and suddenly the buzzer sounded, Cavity Sam’s nose lit up, and your turn was over. Winning the game required patience, coordination, and a steady hand. That same level of precision is happening right now on one of Empire Services’ industrial demolition projects.

Progress in action!

We love seeing a project move closer to completion. Great progress has been made on the delicate roof removal at a processing plant, where precision and safety are key every step of the way.

The roof has been carefully hand-demolished, and our team is now removing the support structures through expert torch cutting.

Huge credit to the crew for their skill, focus, and dedication on this complex project. Stay tuned for more updates!

Empire Services is proud to play a role in revitalizing a historic neighborhood in Reading, PA. Our team is currently providing interior and exterior demolition services for a major redevelopment project located on a busy city corner.

The project includes six structures, five of which will be demolished to grade. The remaining building will be transformed into senior apartments, helping bring new life to the area while preserving part of its history.

Before demolition could begin, the site required extensive clearing of trees and overgrowth to allow our team to safely bring in equipment and begin work. With the area cleared, our team got to work demolishing the first structure, a butler building.

Stay tuned for more project updates as progress continues!

Not every demolition project is about bringing things down fast — sometimes it’s about bringing them down with precision. At Empire Services, our crew is currently hand-demolishing a roof at a processing plant because a complex piping system that feeds active operations runs directly beneath it. Using circular saws, our team is carefully cutting small sections and using scaffolding to protect the piping below while keeping the project moving efficiently and safely. Stay tuned for more updates!

Smart planning. Seamless ex*****on. Lasting results.

At Empire Services, bulk earthwork is more than moving dirt—it’s about creating a strong, sustainable foundation for what comes next. On a recent medical complex project in Bucks County, PA, our team excavated 7,300 cubic yards to construct a precision-engineered detention basin for effective stormwater management.
