Commonly the reasons for putting down a building are usually when the building has become a hazard to be used as it may collapse and that another different structure needs to replace the standing building and it needs to be demolished.

 

When demolition is needed.

Buildings with Poor Maintenance

Buildings require regular upkeep and maintenance to prevent damage to the building and retain their structural integrity. They enhance the durability of the building.

 

Buildings that are neglected and not properly maintained become uninhabitable mostly because the structure becomes frail and weak. Plumbing issues may arise that may be beyond repair.

Demolition also becomes a better option as sustaining the building, repairs, and maintenance are far more expensive than rebuilding the building after demolition Brighton. Therefore, it is a more feasible option to rebuild the building after having it demolished.

 

Buildings That Faced Natural Calamities

Hurricanes, storms, and floods cause a lot of damage. The damage they cause to the structure of the building often renders the building unsafe.

The water from the floods can seep into the structure, weakening it and making things dangerous, increasing the risk to the inhabitants if the building collapses is not a wise option.

Fires and earthquakes are some of the other calamities that can result in damaging buildings to the point that they need to be demolished.

 

Buildings That Are Outdated

Buildings are often required to be partially demolished when they need to be renovated or expansion is needed. Part of the building like a wall is demolished so that construction can be done to expand or remodel the building.

Keeping up with the present day’s safety standards and installing present-day utilities may become difficult for outdated buildings. The buildings do not necessarily have to be structurally dangerous for them to be demolished.

 

Demolition has many different methods.

Demolition is not just about a building being destroyed.

There are many different types of demolition Brighton, but there are 4 main methods of demolition used most often which are “High Reach Arm demolition”, “Crane & Ball Demolition”, “Selective Demolition”, and “Implosion Demolition”. Here are quick summaries of each one.

High-reach arm demolition uses machinery that has arms that can reach up high and knockdown structures layer by layer.

Crane and ball demolition Brighton is using the oldest method, which is a simple large metal ball, weighing 1300 to 1400 pounds, and swinging/dropping it onto the structure.

Selective or deconstruction demolition is based on reduce, reuse, and recycle and slowly goes through the structure and takes our re-usable materials for recycling, or repurposing them for the future structure to be built.

Implosion demolition is when a controlled explosion is done within a structure to quickly take it down.

Demolition companies primarily stick to high reach and selective demolition since these are the most often used for residential demolition.
