D.H. Griffin and his son David work closely to build the company’s portfolio of projects and customers.


of Texas Inc., a Houston-based branch that provides demo- lition and dismantling services.


Between 2004 and 2007, the Griffin family added a Used Equip- ment Sales division, formed D. H. Griffin Infrastructure, LLC, a turnkey site development company, and D.H. Griffin Contract- ing, Inc., offering industrial equipment installation, relocation and removal. Griffin says, “Every new company builds on our core expertise—demolition.”


For instance, in 2015, the DARI group and DHG worked to- gether to perform the asbestos abatement and removal as well as demolition of Florida Power & Light Co.’s Port Ever- glades power plant in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. The original 1960s- era plant consisted of four generating units, two nominal 200-megawatt units and two nominal 400-megawatt units. Crews utilized both conventional and implosive demolition techniques and recycled over 98 percent of the facility property.


While recycling has been a big part of DHG’s philosophy since first turning old pipes into clotheslines, it’s become a business imperative in recent years—one that the company


takes very seriously. Several years ago, DHG imploded the 11-story Winkler Hall at Appalachian State University and then crushed 96 percent of the debris to reuse as gravel on a green space for students, diverting a total of 7,057 tons of material from the landfill. In fact, the company’s scrap yard in Greensboro—together with affiliated scrap yards in three other states—produce a combined 300,000 tons of recycled ferrous steel per year.


In its 57 years of operation, DHG has demolished over 25,000 structures that range from professional sports stadiums and multi-story buildings in major metropolitan business areas to airports and shopping malls. It has taken down structures of varying scopes and scales, including:


• Multiple structures for NASA, Cape Canaveral, Fla. • Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium, Atlanta, Ga. • Fieldcrest Cannon Plant No. 1 textile mill, Kannapolis, N.C. • Fast Fix 8 – 1-40 Bridge Replacement


Currently, the DHG companies are working on more than 100 projects in 10 states.
