D&Ri’s
annual ranking
of theworld’s largest
demolition contractors
contains a few
surprises this year.
Lindsay Gale
reports
on the only global
listing covering the
demolition sector
A
t first glance, the lines
of the graphbelow that
display theperformance
of thedemolition industry
during2014might lead you to
believe that times havebeen very
tough for the sector globally,
with the overall total of the 2015
d
&
ri

fallingby11.7%, at
just overUS$5.3billion, from
the corresponding figureof just
in excess ofUS$6billion last
year. Thedatawould also suggest
that it isEuropean contractors

whohaveborne thebrunt of the
downturn, with this region’s total
fallingby almost 45% toUS$2.06
billion fromUS$3.77billion as
published last year.
Readersmight recall that in
last year’s report on the table,
I perhaps over-confidently
predicted that theUS$6billion
barrierwould againbemore than
comfortablypassed this year –
such is thedanger of committing
oneself inprint!
However, one reasonbehind
Sourcing
the data
As was the case last year,
considerable resources
were devoted to encourage
contractors around the
world to supply basic
financial data concerning
their activities during 2014.
Where we were unable to
obtain information from
companies themselves,
independent financial
reporting services were
consulted to obtain the
necessary data. D&Ri
never makes use of even
informed estimates of annual
revenues in the compilation
of the
d
&
ri
100
.
We have endeavoured to
ensure the accuracy of the
figures used in the creation
of the
d
&
ri
100
ranking
of the world’s top demolition
companies but KHL can
accept no liability for any
errors or inaccuracies
relating to the individual
turnover figures contained in
this report.
D&Ri
would like to
encourage all companies
that receive future requests
for data for inclusion in the
d
&
ri
100
to consider
responding, as the greater
the level of participation
from contractors around the
world, themore accurate
and comprehensive future
listings will be.
Currency
conversion
Data that was supplied to
D&Ri
in currencies other
than in US$were converted
using the relevant exchange
rates as of 6thMay 2015.
