There was the 3rd International Demolition Forum on October 12 and 13, 2022, Moscow, Russia.

RDF remains a constant meeting place for demolition industry professionals specializing in demolition work, including diamond demolition technologies, demolition waste disposal, pollution cleanup, and contaminated land reclamation.

This year, the event expanded its coverage towards large industrial enterprises, whose representatives were offered a unique opportunity to take part as speakers to share their experience in decommissioning, dismantling of hazardous production facilities, decontamination and management of demolition waste.

And for the first time, the representatives of industrial holdings had the opportunity to take part in the ESG Russian Demolition Awards nominations to select the best projects for decommissioning, dismantling, neutralization and disposal of demolition waste, reclamation, as these processes are directly related to safety and ecology at the enterprise.

The exchange of experience by industrialists in the implementation of projects in the field of demolition and demolition waste management is a common practice abroad, because holding companies are responsible not only for the technological processes of their core activities, but also for all works that are performed on their territory, especially paying attention to works on demolition of buildings and waste management due to their increased risk to human health and the environment.

Participation in the nominations for the selection of the best dismantling projects and innovative machines, mechanisms and equipment is available both for contractors and for manufacturers and suppliers of specialized machinery and equipment for dismantling and recycling.

Representatives of contracting organizations and industrial enterprises were invited to make presentations on the most interesting and complex implemented projects.
