Often times, an entire structure demolition is not necessary. This may involve selectively removing a building façade or turning one building into two. Whether exterior or interior, sometimes it may simply be a matter of making sure nothing that is intended to remain, is demolished.
Demolition of a building or structure requires careful consideration and the support of a dedicated demolition company like Controlled Demolition. Depending on the size and position of the structure, whether it contains asbestos or precious metals, whether it is a steel frame or concrete frame, different methods of demolition may be employed. Our teams regularly undertake demolition projects involving warehouses, factory buildings, manufacturing plants, chimneys and the dismantling of plant and equipment in associated industrial units.
Prior to the commencement of any demolition project, Controlled Demolition prepare a comprehensive method statement to address any risk elements and provide a method to work to. The estimating team will identify the materials that are to be reclaimed, recycled, re-used or disposed of off-site. They will calculate approximate tonnages or volumes of these materials and have definite costs and final destinations for these materials. As some reclaimed metals are very valuable it is imperative that we achieve the best value for these as this is generally credited to the client. At Controlled Demolition, we have both experience of demolishing utilities-orientated buildings or structures, but also experience in dealing with utility companies to ensure services and utilities are dealt with safely and effectively on any project.
