What is controlled demolition?
Controlled demolition is the planned and safe dismantling of structures such as concrete walls, floors, staircases, and other reinforced elements. Unlike traditional demolition, our controlled demolition services use specialist equipment to minimise noise, dust, and vibration while maintaining complete precision.
How is controlled demolition carried out?
We use advanced equipment such as hydraulic bursting, crunching, wire sawing, and robotic demolition machines. These methods allow us to break down reinforced concrete and other tough structures safely and efficiently, even in confined or sensitive environments.
What are the benefits of controlled demolition?
- Safe and precise removal of structures
- Low vibration and minimal noise disruption
- Reduced dust and debris
- Suitable for confined spaces or occupied buildings
- Environmentally friendly with minimal waste
Where is controlled demolition used?
Controlled demolition services are commonly used in construction, renovation, and refurbishment projects. Typical applications include removing concrete walls, cutting staircases, dismantling floors, or reducing structures in areas where traditional demolition would be too disruptive.
Is controlled demolition safe?
Yes. Controlled demolition is designed to be one of the safest methods of structure removal. By using vibration-free and low-noise techniques, the risk to nearby structures, workers, and the public is minimised.
Can controlled demolition be done indoors?
Absolutely. Controlled demolition techniques such as robotic demolition and hydraulic bursting are ideal for indoor environments. They allow us to remove concrete and masonry without causing damage to surrounding areas.
How does controlled demolition compare to traditional demolition?
Traditional demolition methods can be noisy, dusty, and disruptive. Controlled demolition, on the other hand, provides precise, low-noise, and low-dust solutions that are perfect for sensitive projects or areas where safety and precision are essential.
Do you need specialist contractors for controlled demolition?
Yes. Controlled demolition requires trained operatives and professional equipment. Hiring an experienced demolition contractor ensures safety, efficiency, and compliance with health and safety regulations.
Is controlled demolition environmentally friendly?
Yes. Controlled demolition produces less dust, noise, and vibration, and materials can often be recycled. This makes it a more sustainable choice compared to traditional demolition.
