How do we demolish steel-framed buildings?
Introduction
Any good demolition contractor will agree that a different approach is needed depending on whether the buildings are made of random stone, steel, or brick.
The building will react differently when a large excavator is demolishing it. Different demolition equipment is therefore needed, and a different set of RAMs (Risk Assessment and Method Statements) is necessary for each type of building.
Highly competent machine operators will also be required.
Steel-framed buildings, therefore, need to be demolished in a different way than brick or stone buildings.
This article will underline the importance of hiring a competent and highly experienced demolition company to safely and efficiently demolish steel-framed buildings.
Our demolition team’s extensive expertise ensures a meticulous and safe demolition of any building in Bristol.
Safe demolition
When you consider a steel framed building, it will have hundreds of tonnes suspended in the A-frames, in the upright RSJ’s and in the metal roofing sheets.
Therefore, you need high-quality machinery, demolition attachments, and highly competent excavator drivers with experience of safely demolishing steel-framed buildings.
Steel buildings can be unpredictable. However, our highly competent team is well-prepared to handle such situations.
We are adept at adapting to unexpected changes, ensuring a safe and efficient demolition process.
Again, this is why highly competent excavator drivers, banks men, and a highly experienced demolition team are needed to monitor the demolition and spot potential hazards if they were to unfold.
For example, bankmen should watch the demolition from a safe distance, as the excavator driver might not be able to see for example, that a piece of angle iron is hanging precariously from the building.
We can warn the driver through radio communications, and then the building can be safely demolished.
Therefore, teamwork is essential when it comes to the safe demolition of the building
