The process of demolition typically involves several steps:
Survey and Inspection: This involves assessing the site and the structure to be demolished to identify any hazardous materials, such as asbestos or lead-based paint, that need to be safely removed before demolition can begin.
Removal of hazardous materials: This involves the safe removal and disposal of hazardous materials, including asbestos, lead-based paint, and other toxic substances.
Structural Demolition: This involves the actual dismantling or destruction of the building or structure using various tools and techniques such as demolition excavators, bulldozers, and jackhammers.
Debris Removal: After the structure is demolished, the debris is typically removed and hauled away for proper disposal or recycling.
Site Preparation: Once the debris is cleared, the site may need to be prepared for new construction or landscaping, which may involve grading, filling, or compacting the soil.
The goal of demolition is to safely and efficiently dismantle or destroy a building or structure to make way for new construction, renovation, or redevelopment. Overall, the goal of demolition is to create a clean slate for new development while ensuring the safety of workers and the public and minimizing the impact on the environment.
