Understanding Demolition Projects

WHAT IS DEMOLITION SERVICE?


Demolition is the controlled dismantling and removal of structures. Projects range from backyard sheds to the destruction of large buildings. The work requires expertise, careful planning, and the right equipment to get a job done right.


WHEN DO YOU NEED DEMOLITION?


Here are some common types of demolition jobs:


  • Structural Demolition: In this type of demolition, the entire building or structure is removed. This type of demolition is common for new development and construction. It also is needed when a building is old, abandoned, damaged beyond repair, or poses a liability risk.


  • Interior Demolition: This type of demo work involves removing interior walls, floors, or fixtures to create new spaces or layouts. Contractors selectively remove large parts of the interior while leaving the structure intact.


  • House Demolition: These are some of the most common demolition projects. Residential home removal occurs when a house is unsafe or uninhabitable. Occasionally, perfectly good homes are torn down to make space for something new.


  • Mobile Home Demolition: Mobile homes have a maximum lifespan of about 50 years. Their lightweight construction makes them difficult to repair and can become unusable very quickly. Often, the best option for a mobile home that is aging or run down is demolition.


  • Commercial Building Demolition: Common commercial demo jobs include restaurants, offices, and stand-alone retail buildings. Once these buildings reach the end of their lifespan or need to be replaced, a demolition crew will dismantle and remove these structures.


STEPS IN A DEMOLITION PROJECT


A well-planned demolition project involves several key steps:


  1. Inspection and Planning: An inspection of the structure is done to check the condition, identify potential hazards, and create a demo plan. This plan outlines the methods, equipment, and safety precautions required for the project.
  2. Obtaining Permits: Depending on local regulations, demo work may require permits. Permits ensure that the demolition team follows safety and environmental rules.
  3. Safety Measures: Safety measures include using personal protective equipment for the crew, marking work zones, and dust control.
  4. Demolition: The demolition process involves the actual dismantling and tearing down of the structure. This is done using specialized demolition equipment and techniques. Different buildings and materials will require different equipment and methods. 
  5. Debris Removal: The waste and debris are loaded onto trucks and taken away from the site for disposal. Contractors may segregate the material before disposing of it—for example, separating concrete, metal, and wood into different piles. 
  6. Post-demo Grading: This step is optional After finishing the demo work, the site is graded, which creates a level surface free of debris. This prepares the site for its future use. 



TYPE OF DEMOLITION EQUIPMENT


Demolition contractors utilize a range of specialized equipment to safely and efficiently execute their projects:


  • Excavators: These machines with powerful arms and buckets dig, demolish walls, and load debris onto trucks.
  • Bulldozers: These machines use large blades to push down structures, clear debris, and grade the site.
  • Track loaders / Skid steers: These smaller and more agile machines are fitted with different attachments. Depending on the job, they can push, scoop, jackhammer, and more.
  • Trucks: Trucks with large hauling capacity move the debris from the demo site to the disposal site.
