When it’s demolition, it’s Umacon

I’d call this a demanding demolition job, because it was right in the middle of live production and existing buildings. Your staff handled this project exceptionally well. Your organisation was clearly well organised, and your site supervisors were professional and responded to things quickly. You also took care of access control during the project. There were no accidents or environmental damage on site either, and I’m grateful that your crew looked after health and safety as required and met our expectations. I see you as technically credible, and I’d recommend you for similar demanding projects.

Demolition crew professional, flexible and approachable. The site was kept tidy at all times, as far as possible. All in all, good work.

Umacon’s work was really good. They had prepared well for the outage work, and the work got under way as agreed. The site supervision was faultless – we didn’t need to step in at all. They handled the agreed work on their own initiative and were even finished slightly ahead of schedule. That kind of punctuality builds trust.

Umacon has a real can-do attitude. They take things seriously and they’re good at working together. And sure enough, the project as a whole went well.

The demolition jobs have gone well – quickly, efficiently and cost-effectively, with good kit. When working in the process areas, they’ve made sure that dust and demolition waste don’t spread around the process facilities, and the protective measures have been good. Umacon’s work has left us with a good impression.

The workers and site supervisors did an excellent job, and their communication was brilliant. If even the smallest problem came up, we were kept informed straight away and things were sorted out quickly. The whole project went really well in every respect. Health and safety was impeccable, and they kept to the tight schedule in exemplary fashion.

Getting the crane dismantled was as straightforward as going to the shop: we bought it and we paid for it. Things happened the way we’d agreed, which was important to us. The site manager was very proactive. Umacon came across as very reliable.

Umacon’s project management was excellent – they have that positive attitude that everything will work out. They worked in an extremely well-planned, consistent and organised way. The workmanship was neat, and they stayed within the agreed budget and schedule. We particularly appreciated how well they took the area and its residents into account. Even the supervisor didn’t need to lean on them or demand anything afterwards. As far as my own work was concerned, the project progressed in the background as expected and didn’t take up my working time or tie me to the project in any way.

We’ve had several different projects with Umacon, from demolishing parts of buildings all the way to demolishing an entire thermal power plant. The work has been quite demanding, especially inside a plant that’s still running, which has also meant complying with thorough safety requirements during the work. It’s all run like clockwork. The projects have been scoped correctly and handled cost-effectively on the agreed schedule. Waste handling, waste transfer documents and the other necessary measures have also been taken care of well.

We chose Umacon because we got a competitive price for the project, and Umacon is a reliable demolition contractor with the capacity to deliver a project the size of a city block to the agreed schedule. Umacon did what they promised, just as on our previous projects. There were also no health and safety breaches on site, which is a top priority for us at Hartela.

The work went smoothly, and anything that needed correcting was dealt with quickly enough. I can recommend Umacon’s services.

In our view, the demolition work went really well and, on top of that, it was finished ahead of schedule. Communication with Hanna and Tuomas Salonen and Antti Lantta also went well. For these reasons, we warmly recommend them to others.

If I had to sum up the three things that convince me about Umacon, it starts with their unique service attitude and their problem-solving ability, and third, their broad experience of different kinds of sites. It’s a combination that never fails.
