Demolition of outbuildings and utility structures becomes necessary when old constructions become unfit for use. Such structures not only detract from the appearance of a site but also pose a safety hazard to their owners due to the risk of collapse.
Demolition Process
The dismantling of disused sheds and utility buildings has a number of defining characteristics that must be assessed before work begins:
- The structure is thoroughly inspected with regard to its condition and its proximity to permanent buildings;
- A plan of action is drawn up and the appropriate demolition method selected;
- Demolition works commence;
- The site is cleared of all debris.
It is particularly important to correctly assess the condition of the utility building, including the presence of metal elements and a basement. Based on this assessment, the optimal method is selected: either hand tools (an angle grinder, a jackhammer, etc.) or specialist machinery for more complex situations.
Before commencing demolition, electricity must be disconnected and all valuables and interior waste removed from the structure.
Full Demolition Scope
Full demolition of an outbuilding typically involves:
- Dismantling of roof metalwork;
- Removal of external and internal cladding, insulation, and soundproofing;
- Demolition of internal partitions and walls;
- Removal of concrete or timber floors;
- Disconnection and dismantling of electrical wiring;
- Foundation removal;
- Complete site clearance and removal of construction waste.
Manual vs. Mechanised Demolition
Where site access permits, a tractor or bulldozer reduces the risk of injury to virtually zero and accelerates the work considerably. Where access for heavy machinery is not possible, manual dismantling with full compliance with safety procedures is carried out instead.
