In this episode:

The Rundown (00:38): Dane Zumbahlen returns with NDA updates and key reminders — Demolition Phoenix (Feb. 4-7) and the Summer 2026 Quarterly Member Meeting (June 5-6). He then breaks down what’s driving early-2026 scrap conditions: nonferrous strength led by record-setting copper, quietly firm aluminum, steady ferrous pricing — and the volatility to watch as tariffs, demand and logistics shape the next quarter.

From the Field (7:28): Dan Bolster of Homrich (and the NDA Safety Committee) shares two simple routines that pay off big: morning huddles and stretch-and-flex. He explains how a quick, intentional reset — covering today’s plan, hazards, controls and what changed since yesterday — helps crewscommunicate better, stay focused and reduce strains, sprains and preventable incidents.

Member Conversation (14:37): Jake Lindamood of LindamoodDemolition walks through the high-stakes Parkland Hospital project in Dallas: a 1.6-million-square-foot teardown in a tight medical district, with multiple active hospitals connected to the work. He details how engineering-led planning, disciplined communication with stakeholders and the right high-reach equipment helped the team separate structures safely, protect the public and finish ahead of schedule — with safety and execution driving the result.
