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
