What is Traditional Demolition?

There are some conventional demolition methods which have been used by the industry for years, and this is what the term ‘traditional demolition’ refers to.

High-reach or long-reach demolition

This type of demolition is required for structures which are extremely tall, such as high-rise and multi-storey structures. For this, special excavators which are able to be operated at height are used to carry out the work. Typically, high-reach excavators have boom lengths measuring between 19-50 meters in length.

Soft strip demolition

During soft strip demolition, everything non-structural is removed from inside and outside a building in preparation for demolition or refurbishment. This kind of demolition is the most popular traditional demolition method used today, and is also referred to as strip-out demolition.

Items are carefully removed to ensure that as much material as possible can be recycled or reused on future projects – making it an environmentally friendly option. Although soft strip demolition is labour intensive, the method is cost-effective overall as material can be reused.

How is Traditional Demolition
carried out?

The type of demolition method that is required will depend on the size and shape of the structure, the building materials, and the purpose of demolition (such as clearing space for a new building or renovating the existing structure).

Robore’s team carefully evaluates all projects specific to customer requirements in order to create a detailed plan of action. We work closely with our clients throughout the process, from start to finish.

There are a number of safety considerations for high-reach demolition projects. These include:

Ensuring high-reach excavators are operated at all times by trained, experienced operators (such as Robore’s team).
Following manufacturer’s guidelines when operating machines.
Only using machines for their intended purpose (e.g. long-reach excavators should not be used as cranes for high-reach applications).
Fitting long-reach excavators with a boom angle warning system to alert operators of any risks.
Inspecting machines daily before use by competent personnel.
Checking working platforms regularly for stability.
Using radius charts to ensure that excavators operate at a safe distance at all times.
Checking fall zones to ensure that debris falls within a safe distance.
Clearing debris periodically.
