Ramar Transportation
Commercial Class 1

Commercial Demolition

Project-specific Class 1.1 demolition explosives logistics — just-in-time delivery, site security, fire-marshal coordination.

industry brief

Commercial demolition is the smallest of the Class 1 commercial verticals by volume and the most operationally specific. A single implosion project may consume a few thousand pounds of Class 1.1 explosives — small relative to a mining operation — but the per-project coordination is intense.

Ramar serves commercial demolition contractors with project-specific just-in-time delivery, secure-in-transit holding when a project is delayed, and OTR coverage from explosives plants to project sites. Our Carolinas and Mid-Atlantic operating footprint matches the project density of the East Coast demolition market. We coordinate with local fire marshals, police, and state regulatory field offices as the project requires.

questions

Demolition — Frequently Asked

Can Ramar deliver explosives to a project site the day-of?
Yes. Just-in-time project delivery is operationally routine for commercial demolition lanes. We coordinate the timing and the security protocols with the contractor's project manager and the local authorities.
What about secure holding if the project delays?
Class 1.1 freight that needs holding before its scheduled detonation can sit in Ramar's segregated holding areas storage at our home port. Project delays are common; secure holding within the integrated chain handles them without a vendor handoff.
