Hans Meyer believed in giving back, generously sharing his success with his community and those less fortunate. His passion for his work was matched only by his love for his family, particularly his son, Ed Meyer, who worked alongside him for over 30 years and eventually carried on his legacy.
At Able Demolition, we continue this tradition by actively participating in community initiatives and supporting local organizations. Our commitment to community involvement is a cornerstone of our company’s values.
At Able Demolition, we are committed to diverting as much material from the waste stream as possible. We salvage and recycle materials such as steel, concrete, and asphalt. For more information on our recycling program, please contact us.
Hans Meyer was never afraid of hard work. An executive chef by trade, he picked up a jackhammer and a one-ton truck to demolish concrete by hand as a way to earn a second income. It was grueling work, but in June of 1975, Hans saw an opportunity—one that would take him from the kitchen to the construction site. That was the year he founded Able Demolition Services, originally known as Able Concrete Breakers, in Calgary, Alberta.
Hans was an innovator in the world of concrete demolition. He built his company with determination, eventually acquiring some of the largest hydraulic hammers in Canada at the time. As his clientele grew, so did the scale of his projects, leading him to specialize in demolishing complex concrete structures. His keen business sense helped him navigate major economic downturns, ensuring that Able continued to thrive for 42 years.
One pivotal moment in Hans’ career was the introduction of robotic demolition to his business. A machine replaced the grueling work he had once done by hand with a 100-pound jackhammer—proof of how far he and his company had come.
Despite his success, Hans never lost sight of his humble beginnings. He believed in giving back, generously sharing his success with his community and those less fortunate. His passion for his work was matched only by his love for his family. His son Ed Meyer worked alongside him for over 30 years and carries these same passions forward today.
Hans passed away in 2017 at the age of 76, with many dreams still on his to-do list. But his impact lives on—through his family, his business, and the many structures that once stood tall before he took them down.
We pride ourselves on the quality of our workmanship and our commitment to completing each job on time and on budget. We make safety our top priority on every job we do, which is why health and safety programs are mandatory for all our employees.
