Mechanical Demolition: Uses heavy machinery (excavators, high-reach arms) for the most common removal of large and medium-sized commercial and residential structures.
Selective Demolition / Deconstruction: Involves controlled, manual, or precise machine work to remove specific parts of a structure for renovations or material salvage.
Implosion / Explosive Demolition: A highly specialized method using explosives to achieve rapid, controlled collapse of very large structures like skyscrapers and stadiums.
Demolition cleanup is the specialized process that occurs after a structure has been torn down. It involves the professional removal of all resulting waste and debris, such as broken concrete, bricks, wood, steel, and other construction materials. The goal is to safely clear the site, often requiring specific equipment and regulated disposal methods, leaving the area ready for the next phase of work or site restoration.
Demolition generally includes the entire process of dismantling, razing, or wrecking a structure or any part of it. This process encompasses securing necessary permits, safely planning the takedown method (mechanical, selective, or explosive), ensuring utility cutoff, executing the actual structural breakdown, and finally, Demolition Cleanup, which involves debris removal and site preparation for the next stage of work.
Demolition is expensive due to the complexity of the work and high disposal costs. Factors include the building material (concrete and steel are harder than wood), which dictates specialized techniques and equipment. Additionally, heavier materials like brick and stone generate a greater volume of debris, significantly driving up the regulated waste removal and hauling fees.
The main alternative to traditional demolition is deconstruction, which involves carefully dismantling a structure to maximize the recovery and reuse of materials for environmental and financial benefits. Other alternatives include extensive renovation without structural demolition (using updated methods like interior films or surface refinishing), and employing specialized methods like robotic systems for controlled, selective dismantling.
