Demolition brings to mind spectacular images of buildings falling in a controlled, pancake fashion (also known as a building implosion), with mushroom clouds of dust settling like snow over the immediate surrounding area. It's an awesome sight, but one inherently full of danger. Someone requiring a demolition service is looking for the demo contractors who will perform the tear down in a safe, timely manner, minimizing risk and maximizing cost effectiveness. But demolition isn't as simple as it looks; what you see in those videos of buildings collapsing is the end result of a painstaking process that involves the highest levels of expertise in planning.
There are many different kinds of demolition, depending on such factors as the size of the building and the amount to be removed, which is why it's important to know exactly what is required for each structure. What makes Controlled Demolition different is that we modeled ourselves using the benefits of working with a small contractor that is organized, professional and speaks personally to the client’s needs. We have demonstrated our ability to perform successfully in both the private and public sector.
It takes several weeks or months to plan for demolition depending on the size of the project. All valuable items are stripped out of the building including the copper wire. Other material like glass must be removed so as not to send deadly projectiles and insulation that can scatter a large area. Hazardous waste like class 1 asbestos is contained in TSI wall surfacing material, and fireproofing. In addition e-waste such as light bulbs, PCBs, metal studs and drywall are removed in the process of getting the building stripped down to its core. The clean up of the site is also far more time consuming than the demolition itself, as debris must be loaded into trucks and safely hauled away.
