It can help to trim expenses for both the demolition contractor, and the building owner. But, there needs to be a plan in place for how each waste stream will be managed. At Demolition Technologies, we've been a leader and innovator in demolition recycling for years. We offer a range of green initiatives including on-site concrete crushing that creates a more valuable and more environmentally friendly project. Here are just a few reasons why demolition recycling makes sense for us on our demolition projects. <h2>On-site crushing</h2> One of the most common forms of recycling within demolition work is concrete crushing. Consider, however, how much energy, time, and equipment is used to transport used concrete from the job site, to a crushing facility, and then to a new site where aggregate is needed. You can greatly reduce the cost in each of those areas by crushing on-site. In some cases, the aggregate is left on the site to be used on the next construction project. In these cases, on-site crushing offers an ideal solution. In other cases, transportation and other costs can be minimized through on-site concrete crushing, which creates maximum value from selling the recycled materials. <h2>On-site sorting</h2> Sorting materials at the demolition site can be a complicated process. It's vital that all waste materials are kept separately. In many cases, contamination of something as simple as an employee throwing a water bottle in a dumpster meant for a specific waste material could spoil the entire load. In some cases, it's worth the effort to sort materials in this strict manner on the job site, but in other cases, it's more efficient to simply gather all materials together and transport them to a dedicated sorting facility. Personnel there are dedicated to sorting and the environment is much more conducive to it than your typical job site. Using C&D sorting and recycling facilities is still much cheaper than a landfill in most cases. <h2>LEED credits</h2> Not every region of the country offers a close C&D recycling facility close enough to be a real solution. Even so, qualifying for LEED points can provide enough initiative to push recycling on any demolition project. By hitting certain recycling benchmarks, LEED credits allow demolition contractors to recoup some of their costs. That can motivate some contractors that would otherwise not be able or interested in budgeting for recycling to implement it. And, it doesn't matter if all recycling is handled by the contractor themselves. Even if you take your waste to a recycling center, you'll be able to claim the amount of material recycled there as the amount for your project. If you have questions about demolition recycling, or have an upcoming demolition need, contact us at 918-379-0966.

While blowing up buildings is one of the first things those outside the industry think of when they hear the word 'demolition', excavators and other equipment is utilized much more often. Even when explosives are used, they typically are employed after a number of other steps. All that said, there are times when an implosion is the safest and most efficient way to demolish a structure. Here are five common steps that are taken in those rare instances. <h2>Step 1: Safety</h2> Like any method of demolition, implosions require an attention and prioritization of safety. Before any activity can begin on the site, a number of precautions must be taken to protect both the personnel involved in the demolition, and the surrounding community. This can include actions like fencing off the site, building scaffolding, covering the structure to prevent falling rubble, ensuring personal protection measures are used, and employing a security company or local police to protect the site. <h2>Step 2: Preparatory Dismantling</h2> In many situations, parts of a structure are too close to other buildings, or to public property. This presents a danger and risk that can be controlled by dismantling parts of the building. This helps to control the fall of the building when explosives are detonated. Other modifications may be needed, especially on ground floors or basement levels, to control vibrations. In many cases, a structure's height may be shortened by dismantling the roof or top floor, as well. <h2>Step 3: Installing Explosives</h2> One central location within the structure will be identified as the "core of the collapse". Explosives are then installed in order to force the structure to fall towards that core. Placement isn't the only concern for the explosives, however. The timing of detonation must be carefully planned so walls fall in the proper sequence. This can be further controlled by installing steel cables to the walls. <h2>Step 4: Implosion</h2> Finally, after completion and inspection of the first three steps, which make up a number of smaller tasks, the building is ready for demolition. Timing is critically important and explosives are detonated at intervals separated by much less than a second. When done correctly, the highest point of the rubble heap will typically occur at the core of collapse. <h2>Step 5: Debris and Recycling</h2> Once the implosion is complete and rubble has settled, debris can be handled in a similar fashion to other demolition methods. Heavy equipment like excavators and skid-steer loaders are typically employed to load debris into trucks. For recycling purposes, some materials must be segregated and sorted. Additional recycling tasks can either be handled off-site at a recycling facility, or, in the case of concrete crushing and other recycling chores, can be done on-site if the demolition contractor has the capabilities. At Demolition Technologies, we have the experience and knowledge to handle any type of demolition project. Contact us to learn more about our capabilities.
