The most interesting part of construction works is probably demolition. As more structures were built, there will certainly come a point where demolition would be needed. The purpose of demolition is either to give space for new buildings or for safety purposes.

Demolition is a method of dismantling any building either by controlled or pre-planned methods. However, there is a lot more to it than swinging the wrecking ball to the building. This involves trained experts that works with weather conditions, debris, mass, physics, and materials. The method that experts use usually varies from the type of the building that they will demolishe.

 

Pre-demolition Process

Before the experts execute a demolition, there are various factors that they must ponder on first. The experts customize the process of demolishing and it depending on the type of project and it involves these following steps:

 

1. Building Survey

Experts start by examining the various characteristics of the building. These characteristics are its materials, construction method, building usage, draining conditions, building codes, neighboring communities, and condition. Studying these parameters helps in dictating the demolition method that must be used.

 

2. Removal of Hazardous Materials

The hazardous materials that are in the building are removed by specialized personnel prior to the demolition. These hazardous materials include radioactive substances, petroleum contamination, asbestos minerals, and flammable materials.

 

3. Demolition Plan

A couple of experts make a comprehensive plan that illustrates what must be involved in the demolition. They plan how the process must be carried out, the quantity of debris that must be cleaned up, and the equipment that they will be using.

 

4. Safety Measures

Operators, site workers, engineers, and supervisors must know regarding the possible hazards that they may encounter. These hazards could be from flammable materials to exposure to dust and noise. Moreover, the demolition company should make sure that they get to secure the necessary permits before starting.

 

After these steps, the next thing that must be done is to choose for the efficient and safest demolition method. Note that not all of demolitions usually ends in explosion. These could range from piece-by-piece removal of non-explosives up to devastating blasts as the worst. Some also include excavators, implosions, selective demolition, bulldozers, and wrecking balls.
