Demolition<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nDemolishing is the process of using explosives to bring a building to the ground so that new construction can start. In a demolition, the end result is razing a building to the ground. In a demolition, only a few things are salvaged and not everything is salvaged. It\u2019s the quickest way to raze a building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Very tall buildings cannot be demolished with explosives or a wrecking ball and are hacked, floor by floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Demolition is a lot riskier and requires a lot of safety precautions before getting started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dismantling <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nDismantling is the act of removing parts of the building, piece by piece. It\u2019s basically removing the different fixtures in a building for salvaging purposes. Dismantling is a very time consuming process, but a lot of the materials salvaged can be reused and resold and that is the point of a dismantle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are quite a few dismantle contractors in Singapore who specialize in this. A building cannot be brought down by dismantling, but it can be stripped off the valuable things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hacking <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nThe most popular method of bringing a building down in a safe manner is hacking. Hacking is the process of using equipment to break down walls. A building can be brought down by hacking. A team of experts hack down the building floor by floor, until all the floors are broken down. This is a safe way of bringing a building down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Rochor building was hacked down and the process took about 10 months. It is time consuming compared to demolitions, but it\u2019s a lot safer!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steps of Demolition in Singapore <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nThere are various steps to a site demolition and here they are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nSafeguarding the site and getting the permissions<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\nThe first step in demolition is to protect the site and ensure that the neighbours are informed and also the government agencies are informed and all the licenses are procured. This is a very important step before the demolition process. The noise levels really go up during a demolition job and there need to be special barricades that muffle the sound, if possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nPreparatory dismantling <\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\nA few items are salvaged during a demolition job and for that some dismantling work is carried out. Such as cabinets, shelves, tiles and other items that can be reused. This takes a considerable amount of time, if the building is tall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nInstalling explosives<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\nInstalling explosives is one of the most important aspects of a demolition and it requires experts to place it in strategic areas where a controlled demolition can bring down the entire building in one fell swoop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nExplosion<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\nThe explosion itself is highly controlled and brings the building down in a linear fashion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nMaterial handling<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\nAfter the controlled explosion, the debris is segregated and cleared off properly in NEA approved areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nMaterial recycling <\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\nAfter that the materials that can be reused are collected and sent to centers where they are recycled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
