STRUCTURAL DEMOLITION
Structural demolition—versus complete building demolition—typically involves selective demolition within a concrete and steel structure. This service is usually required to seismically retrofit an existing structure to bring it up to current code, or to strengthen the structure. Structural demolition is also used during the renovation of existing structures to add features such as new stairs and elevators in a hotel or mall, or to add onto an existing structure.
Structural demo avoids the cost of complete demolition and rebuild by retaining and reusing existing structures.
One of the core benefits of structural demolition, when the service is relevant to a project, is that an owner or developer can retain and reuse large portions of the existing structure while avoiding the significantly higher costs associated with complete building demolition and rebuild.
Another core benefit is that structural demolition can be completed on an accelerated timeline. Other trades can follow behind the structural demolition and quickly reconstruct, renovate, and renew, often on multiple levels at a time for larger structures.
SELECTIVE CONCRETE DEMOLITION
Selective concrete demolition uses specialized means and methods to safely and successfully remove concrete while preserving the structural integrity of elements that are to remain in place. These means and methods are typically executed by isolating the structural elements to be removed from the elements to remain in place at the designated demolition limits. By using precise methods of concrete wire saw cutting, track/wall sawing, line drilling, or other mechanical means prior to the removal of the designated demolition area, Penhall can ensure required structural elements remain in place and are not impacted by the removal process.
The primary benefit of utilizing selective concrete demolition methods is that they offer the safest and most precise means of demolition.
Selective demolition methods allow Penhall Company to complete the desired demolition task while minimizing disruption of other activities and reducing or eliminating system downtime.
