House demolition can seem like an intimidating process, and rightfully so. From removing asbestos to cutting through concrete, there are more aspects to demolition than simply knocking something down.
At Union Demolition, we’ve long offered expert demolition services across Auckland. As such, we’re well-equipped to teach you about the latest tips and tricks for ensuring a completely safe house demolition. Read on for more:
- Check for Asbestos – Asbestos fibres are a dangerous health hazard that lingers in the air long after they’ve been disturbed. To ensure a safe house demolition, being asbestos aware should be the first thing you cover! Hire a licensed asbestos contractor like we at Union Demolition to conduct expert air sampling and asbestos removal. Afterwards, demolition can start stress-free.
- Wear PPE On-Site – For all visitors and employees to a house demolition site, personal protective equipment is non-negotiable. Demolition makes buildings unstable, which is why hard hats, safety glasses and high-visibility vests are so important to wear. Often, given the dust and debris, face masks are also advisable.
- Invest in Training and Experience – When it comes to hiring a house demolition contractor (this is certainly an undertaking that can’t be done alone!) you should invest in training and experience. Having the appropriate qualifications is the difference between preventing accidents on-site and causing them.
- Monitor Noise, Vibration and Dust – In Auckland, our natural environment is beautiful. Be sure to leave it in good condition by monitoring the noise, vibration and dust at your house demolition site. To avoid excessive disruption to the local area, including your neighbours, demolition experts should always use the correct plant for their tasks, and also strive to use quieter methods of demolition – like opting for pulverisers over impact breakers.
Though these tips are a small reflection of a much wider range of techniques to ensure safe demolition, they’re certainly an important starting point.
