What is Demolition???????
▶ Demolition means dismantling, razing, destroying or wrecking any building or
structure or any part by pre-planned and controlled methods.
▶ Demolition is the tearing-down of buildings and other structures
Why Demolition????
▶ The structures which have already passed their design life
need to be reconstructed, for safety and operational
requirements.
▶ The old structures need to be demolished for replacement
by new structures.
▶ Small structures can be demolished by manual methods
but machinery and advanced techniques are required for
demolition of bigger structures.
▶ Advanced techniques are also required for faster
demolition and demolition in confined areas.
