Demolition Works: L/O/G/O

Demolition involves the tearing down of buildings and structures. There are several methods of demolition including hand demolition using tools, mechanical demolition using equipment like pusher arms or demolition balls, deliberate collapse, and explosive demolition. Proper planning is required which includes surveying the property, notifying authorities, and selecting a suitable demolition method based on the type and location of the structure. Safety precautions must be followed to protect workers and surrounding areas.

3 Planning

4 Methods
DEFINITION

• Demolition means:
– The opposite of construction: the
tearing-down of buildings and other
structure.

– The act of process of wrecking or


destroying, especially destruction by
explosives.
TYPES
Demolition of a building or structure
can be considered under two types

Partial
Taking Down: Partial demolition of
a structure.

Full
Demolition: Complete Removal of a
structure.
PLANNING
• A detail survey of the property should be made.

• Photograph should be taken:


1. the works to be demolished
2. the adjoining property; (if there is existing defects on
adjacent properties)

• A check must be made of any legal right which


may effect the demolition; questions of
ownership.
– existence of easement, way leaves, party rights and
boundary walls.
PLANNING (Cont’d)
• Examination of building structure:
– Roofs and framed
– Walls - Services
– Basement - Cantilever
• Notice to Local Authority
– The building owner or their agent must
notify the Local Authority at least 6 weeks
before demolition works done.
PLANNING (Cont’d)
• Select suitable method of demolition
– depends on -
i. Type of building structure (Structured, load bearing
wall, precast concrete or pre stressed concrete)
ii. Type of construction (Concrete, steel structured, etc)
iii. Site location (congested area, urban, sub urban,
height of the buildings)
iv. Availability of plant or equipment
v. Type of demolition (partial or full)

• Appoint competent person (demolition contractor)


METHOD OF DEMOLITION

Hand
Demolition
Wire Pushing
Ropes Arm

Demolition

Deliberate Demolition
Collapse Ball
Explosive
HAND DEMOLITION
• The easiest method which used hand tools such as
hammer, hand saw etc.
• May be needs lifting appliances to hoist released
materials from upper floor to the ground floor.
• Demolition will be done reverse order to the
construction. e.i: start from roof and finish at
ground floor
• Chute or skip should be use to bring down debris
from upper floor.
• Debris should fall freely if horizontal distance to
the walkway or adjoining building is greater than
6.00 meter or half the height of the building.
HAND DEMOLITION
HAND DEMOLITION
PUSHER ARM DEMOLITION
• Progressive demolition using a machine fitted
with a steel pusher arm
• Should only used when the machine can be
operated from a firm level base with a clear
operating base of at least 6.00 meter.
• The height of the building should be reduced
by hand demolition to make sure the height of
the building is not exceeding 6000mm.
• The pusher arm should not be overloaded and
should be operated from outside of the
building.
PUSHER ARM DEMOLITION
• Required an experience operator to operate
the pusher arm
• Operator will work from within a robust cab.
The cab should fit with shatter proof glass
cab windows to prevent from impact of flying
debris.
• If the building is attached to other buildings,
the structure firstly must be detached from
adjoining structure using hand demolition
technique.
PUSHER ARM DEMOLITION
DELIBERATE COLLAPSE
DEMOLITION
• This method involves the removal of key
structural members causing complete collapse
of the whole or part of the building.
• Should obtained an expert engineering advice
before works started.
• This method can only be use on detached
isolated buildings (clear surrounding area and
exclusion zone) on reasonably level site so
that the safety to personnel can be carefully
controlled.
DEMOLITION BALL TECHNIQUE
• These method categories under
progressive demolition.
• Carried out by swinging a weight or
demolition ball, suspended from a lifting
appliance such as a crane.
• Three techniques can be used:
1. Vertical drop - Demolition ball from a
normal duty mobile crane will be drop
vertically to the building.
2. Swinging in line with jib – Demolition ball
will be swing to the left and right used
convertible dragline excavator.
3. Slewing jib
DEMOLITION BALL TECHNIQUE

• Whichever method is used, a skilled


operator is needed.
• Pitched roofs should be removed used
hand demolition technique to wall plate
level.
• 50 to 70% of the internal flooring
should be removed to allow for free fall
of debris within the building enclosure.
• Demolition should proceed storey by
storey.
DEMOLITION BALL TECHNIQUE

• The techniques should not be used on


building over 30.00 meter high. Afraid
that the fall of debris is uncontrollable.
• Attached buildings should be separated
from the adjoining structure by hand
demolition at least 6.00 meter or half the
height of building before the work
started.
• A clear space is required around the
perimeter of building to give machine
operating space.
WIRE ROPE PULLING DEMOLITION

• Used steel wire ropes with more than


38mm diameter.
• The size should be adequate with the
purpose and work load.
• The rope should tied firmly at both ends
and then pulling tension gradually.
• A well anchored winch or heavy vehicle
should be used to apply the pulling force.
• Great care must be taken to ensure that
the winch or vehicle does not lift off its
mounting, wheels or tracks.
WIRE ROPE PULLING DEMOLITION

• Safety precaution such as make sure no


person should be forward of the winch or
within a distance of three quarters of the
length between the winch and the building
being demolished.
• If after several pulls, the buildings still not
collapse it may have been weakened and
should not therefore be approached.
• Demolished by other method such as
demolition ball or pusher arm.
DEMOLITION BY EXPLOSIVE

• This method needed specialist expert in


explosives.
• The explosives are placed within the
fabric of the structure and detonated
to cause partial or complete collapse
• Allow rapid and complete demolition
where other methods prove dangerous
or slow.
