Road Closure, Demolition, Site Support & Full Restoration

About the Project

A homeowner in Hinsdale needed a complete structure removal with full site support — including utilities, traffic control, demolition, and cleanup. The property sat on a high-visibility residential street, requiring road closure coordination to protect crews and the public.

This project showcased Donegal’s ability to manage multiple service divisions seamlessly under one roof.

Key Project Stats

• Location: Hinsdale, Illinois
• Client: Residential homeowner
• Scope: Road closure, utility disconnect, demolition, fencing, portable restroom, greenspace restoration
• Permits: Village of Hinsdale + utility providers
• Completion: On schedule‍
• Final Condition: Fully restored greenspace

The Challenge

This project required complex coordination across several teams and agencies. Key challenges included:

• Managing traffic control and road closure on a narrow residential street
• Coordinating with utility providers for safe main disconnects
• Protecting nearby homes and properties
• Maintaining pedestrian safety and neighborhood access
• Ensuring a clean teardown with ready-to-use greenspace

This was a multi-service operation — the type Donegal is built for.

Our Approach

1. Road Closure & Traffic Control

Donegal’s traffic control team implemented a full road closure plan, including cones, barricades, signage, and certified flaggers to keep residents and pedestrians safe.

2. Utility Coordination

We worked directly with the utility providers to safely disconnect all services before demolition began.

3. Controlled Demolition

Our experienced operators carried out a safe and controlled teardown using modern equipment and dust suppression.

4. Temporary Fencing

Perimeter fencing was installed to secure the site and maintain public safety throughout the project.

5. Portable Toilet Setup

A clean, well-maintained portable restroom was delivered and serviced for crew comfort and compliance.

6. Site Restoration

Once demolition was complete, we graded and restored the site to clean greenspace — ready for future development.
