The type of process that the Brisbane Demolition Contractors choose depends on a number of various factors. Whether they choose to blast the building down or break it piece by piece. The first thing that contractors keep in mind is the location of the building. After that, the nature of the building along with the material used for construction comes under consideration of the Brisbane Demolition Contractors.
So today we are going to talk about some of the ways in which you can demolish a building. There are three ways in which you can demolish a building but before using any of these ways you have to keep the safety of the contractors and the surrounded buildings in mind as well. So let us go ahead and look at some of the ways.
- Implosion
If you are looking for a dramatic way to demolish a building the implosion should be your first choice. During this process, contractors use certain kind of explosives to bring the building down. The contractors go through the blueprints of the building to figure the places or pillars that act as the primary support to the building. Explosives are then placed at these locations to break down the whole structure.
- High Reach Arm
An alternative to implosion is a high reach arm method. Even though the implosion method is way faster but the high reach arm method is much safer because you can control the arm to break the structure. In this method, the demolition crew uses a machine such as an excavator which has a long demolishing arm attached to it. Demolishing tools are attached at the end of the arm and then are control by the base machine to break the building. High reach arm method is usually used for building that is over 66 feet.
- Wrecking Ball
If you want to go with the traditional way of demolition of a building then the wrecking ball method is your go-to method. It is by far the most commonly used method because by far it is the easiest method of demolition. In this method, a wrecking ball that weights up to 13,500 pounds is attached to a swing cable on a crane. This ball is that either swung into the building or either directly dropped on the top. The process is repeated multiple times to break down the building.
