What is involved in the demolition process?

Demolition is the action of safely reducing / removing a building or man-made structure. Demolition is usually mechanical but sometimes by hand using specialist tools and equipment. The materials are all usually taken off-site for disposal, recycling or re-use; hardcore materials (concrete/brick) are sometimes crushed on site for re-use in the building process which usually follows demolition.

What kind of demolition methods are used?

Usually, Demolition is carried out mechanically by a hydraulic demolition specification excavator. The excavator will use a variety of attachments depending on the structure being demolished.

Hand demolition is used in a variety of circumstances, including:

  • Indoor demolition
  • Separation
  • If close to the neighbouring building
  • If an excavator cannot access

What are the safety measures involved in the demolition process?

  • Surveying the building condition before demolition. 
  • Surveying the building for asbestos before demolition and ensuring its safe removal.
  • Using correct up-to-date, certified machinery suitable for the task.
  • Establishing exclusion zones during demolition works. 
  • Dampening down at all times (dust suppression). 
  • Ensuring accurate communication between all parties on site.
  • Use of a banksman at all times in communication with the excavator operator.
  • Ensuring the correct method of demolition is used usually from top to bottom/ a systematic process.
  • Ensuring all PBM employees are trained to the highest standard. CCDO cards. CPCS cards. UKATA asbestos removal / awareness.
