If you thought residential demolitions required a lot of care and meticulous planning, you may be shocked to find out just how much more care commercial buildings need. In both types of demolition services, there are certain things you need to do in order for it to be successful. In terms of commercial demolitions, there are a lot of things you need to know. They are not the same as residential demolitions, and therefore come with different rules and steps. Here at Mondo EX, we would like to share some advice on how to properly demolish commercial buildings.
Demolition By Hand
In terms of efficiency, this method doesn’t quite take the cake; but even so it is still a very effective way to demolish your building. When you want to use this method, there are certain things you will need. Hand tools as well as safety equipment are both very important to have. This means eye protection, a hard hat, steel toed shoes, etc. Shear legs and cranes can be used in hand demolition to provide support. Always make sure to do one floor at a time when it comes to a commercial demolition as well, because this method ensures the best safety. Also make sure that when you’re dealing with a tall building with multiple floors that you start at the roof (very top) and work your way down.
Mechanical Demolition
When it comes to demolishing commercial buildings, this option happens to be the most common as well as the most recommended. This type of method will involve a lot of large, heavy machinery and top of the line tech to tear apart the building. When hiring a professional company, these machines will be handled by experts. Having people who are either self taught or inexperienced working these machines is NOT safe and will likely end up in more harm than good.
This type of process will break a building down a lot faster than other methods, but there are hazards that come with it due to its effectiveness. Dust, loud noises, flying debris and vibration are just a few of the many disturbances/dangers that come from this type of demolition. Most of these hazards won’t be an issue when you work with a proper company like us here at Mondo EX, but it is important to list some of the things that happen during this time. When it comes down to it, if you want the job to be done quickly and for a more affordable price, this method is the way to go.
Explosion/Implosion Method
Out of all the other ones, this method reigns supreme as the most effective and efficient. This type of demolition will save your time and money, making for an easy experience overall. The only thing about this method is that you need to be 100% certain that it can be done in your area. If your building is located closely to other buildings, homes and people, you may not get the approval. You need to be certain that this can be done legally, and that you have all the necessary documents to make sure everything is done safely.
