Demolition is probably one of the most exciting
aspects of construction, as floors, walls and ceilings can disappear in a few
short moments. Although the demolitions are often fast, exhilarating and
disordered, that does not mean that they can be completed without having
thought about it before. This is a very complex process, and a clear strategy
and caution should be applied in any demolition project.
The methods of demolition vary depending on where
it will take place, the materials of the house, the reason behind the
demolition, and the manner in which debris will be disposed of. If you plan to
destroy part or your entire home and would like to know the different methods
of demolition, read on to find out more!
Here are different techniques to demolish a house
Demolition by "implosion"
Implosion is a violent burst from the inside
caused by explosives. This allows the sequential elimination of the structural
support of a building. You have to put enough explosives to destroy the
structure of the house. The places where the explosives are placed, as well as
the synchronization of the detonations are two decisive factors to the success
of this method. This demolition technique is generally reserved for urban
areas. It often involves huge structures that control debris during demolition.
For this type of demolition to be successful, it
is necessary to analyze the structural plans of the building in order to study
its main components. In addition, it is important for a specialist to complete
an assessment of the structure of the house before starting the project, as
some specific locations may need to be destroyed in addition to those
identified in the plans. The type of explosive used must also be part of the
decision-making process. As a result, make sure you know how certain explosives
work relative to others, as well as where to place them and how to synchronize
detonations.
High-rise demolition
High-level demolition is another traditional
method of demolition at demolition
Melbourne. This technique is used when the structure exceeds a height of
more than 20 meters. It is usually completed using a basic machine, an
excavator, a tank or a machine, and a three-section demolition arm, or a
telescopic sleeve with a tool attached to the base machine. This method is generally
used for materials such as concrete, masonry, steel and structures in mixed
materials.
You may need to use other tools to complete the
high-level demolition process as additional components may be required for
secondary operations. We think among other things tools to crush or move
materials. The height of the house to be demolished and the conditions of the
site both play a role in the demolition process.
Demolition ball and crane
This proven method is still very popular at demolition Melbourne. The process
involves using a demolition ball that can weigh up to 13,500 pounds. This is
usually used to demolish concrete and masonry structures. There are two main
techniques for using the demolition ball, either by swinging it or dropping it
onto the structure that needs to be demolished.
Unfortunately, this method is not appropriate for
all demolition projects and has some limitations. If you opt for it during a
building demolition, it may be necessary to remove the metal frames from the
concrete structure. In addition, only an experienced crane operator should
perform demolitions with a ball and a crane, as it is very important to handle
the demolition ball. Missing the target could cause the crane to fall or
overload, causing more damage than expected. Be aware that this technique can
create a lot of noise, dust, debris, vibrations.
Selective demolition or deconstruction
This demolition process has been gaining
popularity for some time because it is considered environmentally friendly and
is used at demolition Melbourne.
This is a selective indoor or outdoor demolition where walls, floors and
ceilings are destroyed so that materials can be recycled and reused. In
deconstruction, it is possible to recover wood, bricks, metals and concrete for
reuse, whether in new structures or for other purposes. The purpose of this
technique is to recover as much reusable materials as possible safely and
economically. However, the process generates a lot of work and can be difficult
to complete in a reasonable and economical manner.
