Demolition and deconstruction services are two distinct but related processes that aim to remove and deal with structures, buildings, materials and debris. Let's look at what each of these processes involves:
Demolitions:
Demolition operations involve the removal of buildings, walls, structural elements or other structures. These operations include the following steps:
- Assessment: First of all, a detailed assessment of the object to be demolished is carried out. This assessment includes an evaluation of the condition of the materials, the size of the structure and an analysis of potential risks.
- Preparation: The area around the object must be isolated and secured. This includes removing people and objects from the hazard, and applying necessary clearances.
- Demolition: This is where the demolition of the object is carried out, using appropriate equipment such as explosives, excavators, etc.
- Clearing: After demolition, the site must be cleared of the rubble and materials resulting from the demolition.
Deconstruction:
Deconstruction operations focus on the removal of debris and cleaning the site after demolition. These tasks include the following:
- Removing debris: Any debris or pieces of construction remaining after demolition must be removed from the site.
- Cleaning: The area must be cleaned of rubbish, dust and other contaminants. This includes cleaning the ground and walls, if necessary.
- Recycling: Where possible, materials removed from the site can be recycled.
