Demex – Kalamia Mill Stacks Demolition Case Study
The Brief
DEMEX engaged us to document the demolition of the Kalamia Mill Stacks, one of the most complex and highly planned demolition projects undertaken in regional Queensland. Beyond simply recording the moment, the objective was to turn a technically challenging demolition into a valuable storytelling asset that could support DEMEX’s marketing, recruitment, and future business development.
The scope included both video and still photography, with the content required to accurately represent the innovation, safety, and expertise involved in delivering the project.
Our Approach
From early planning through to execution, we worked closely with the DEMEX team to align our filming and photography with critical project milestones. Given the complexity and risk profile of the demolition, careful coordination was essential to ensure all capture met site safety requirements while still conveying the scale and control of the operation.
Our approach focused on more than just the final demolition moment. We documented the process, planning, and execution that led to the successful outcome, using a combination of ground-based cameras, aerial footage, and high-resolution stills. This created a comprehensive content library that could be used across multiple platforms and contexts.
The Outcome
The final deliverables included a hero project video and a series of professional still photographs, now used widely by DEMEX across marketing, recruitment, and capability materials. The content helped transform a one-off demolition event into long-term value, supporting new conversations, opportunities, and audience engagement well beyond the project itself.
The Kalamia Mill Stacks demolition went on to receive international recognition at the World Demolition Awards, with the video playing a key role in showcasing the project to a global audience and reinforcing DEMEX’s reputation for delivering complex, high-risk demolition works to the highest standard.
