Construction is a funny old business. There is no one more
versed in the fact that living in an ideal world doesn’t exist than the average
construction worker, due to the nature of the job.
Concrete contractors, as well as controlled concrete demolition London experts in particular
know and understand that an ideal world is not something which is all that
common due to the nature of the product. Concrete itself, for all of the
superiority it has over other building materials, is not known for being particularly
forgiving and certainly not an easy thing to work with. As such, there are
quite a few imperfectly placed columns, beams and slabs in any build.
What happens when something doesn’t exactly go to an
architect’s plan?
Of course, imperfect features are altered or demolished. Controlled
Concrete Demolition is of course is what should spring to mind, but how
exactly is this done? No doubt the first thought in your mind has gone to
detonations and explosives, but that is both an impractical as well as unsafe.
In the real world, you simply can’t get permission to set
off bombs, especially in large cities such as Kent or London, and so other
means are required.
Most demolition jobs come with quite a few rules and
requirements. Most places have very strict noise limits, and vibration limits
are also put into place in order to guarantee that no other structures can be
damaged by the demolition going on around a site – particularly in environments
that may be quite packed together. That, and there’s construction site dust to
worry about as well. A specialist controlled concrete demolition contractor
will take all of these things into account in each and every site they visit.
There are methods which the demolition contractor will be
able to employ, such as hydraulic bursting, which will provide an effective and
controlled demolition process which is suitable for sites with both space and
noise regulations applied, such as urban areas. Most importantly, hydraulic
bursting is one of the safest ways to effectively demolish concrete. Specialist
companies are brought in with the machinery and know-how to make even the most
imposing mistake be ready to be started anew once more.
