Demolition refers to the deliberate tearing down or destruction of buildings and other structures, typically to make way for new construction, remove unsafe structures, or clear space for redevelopment. It's a process that requires careful planning, adherence to safety regulations, and sometimes the use of specialized equipment or techniques. Common methods of demolition include:
Implosion: Using explosives to strategically collapse a structure in on itself. Mechanical Demolition: Employing heavy machinery such as excavators, bulldozers, or wrecking balls to dismantle structures. Selective Demolition: Removing specific parts or components of a structure while leaving others intact. This is often done when renovating or repurposing buildings.
