Every demolition project in Palakkad and Kerala generates significant quantities of steel — TMT rebar from RCC structures, structural steel sections from industrial buildings, MS pipes, and miscellaneous metal. Professional scrap metal handling recovers maximum value from this material, reduces your net demolition cost, and ensures responsible disposal. Palakkad Concrete Cutting manages scrap metal recovery as an integrated part of every demolition project.
Recovery, cutting, and responsible disposal of demolition scrap steel — Palakkad
What is scrap metal handling?
Scrap metal handling in the demolition context covers the identification, separation, cutting, collection, weighing, and sale of all metal waste generated during demolition. This includes TMT rebar freed from concrete, structural steel sections (I-beams, channels, angles), MS pipework, sheet metal roofing, electrical conduit, and other embedded metals. Recovered scrap metal is sold to authorised scrap dealers in Palakkad, and the value is credited against the client's demolition cost.

Our process.
Metal Identification
During demolition planning, all metal types and estimated quantities are identified: rebar, structural sections, pipework, cladding, etc.
Concrete Separation
Rebar freed from broken concrete is separated immediately — concrete and steel are never mixed, as this reduces scrap value.
Cutting to Manageable Lengths
Long rebar and structural sections are cut to scrap dealer-accepted lengths using hydraulic shears or gas cutting.
Collection & Weighing
Scrap metal is collected, sorted by type (TMT, structural, sheet), and weighed on-site or at the scrap yard.
Sale & Credit
Metal is sold to authorised Palakkad scrap dealers at current market rates. The value is applied against the client's project cost.
