Demolition is tearing-down of
buildings and other structures.
It contrasts with
deconstruction, which is the taking down of a building while carefully
preserving valuable elements for re-use.
For most buildings, such as houses, that are only two or three stories
high, demolition is a rather simple process. The building is pulled down
either manually or mechanically using large hydraulic equipment: elevated
work platforms, cranes, excavators or bulldozers.
Larger buildings may require the use of a wrecking ball, a heavy weight on
a cable that is swung by a crane into the side of the buildings.

Wrecking balls are
especially effective against masonry, but are less easily controlled
and often less efficient than other methods. Newer methods may use
rotational hydraulic shears and silenced rock-breakers attached to
excavators to cut or break through wood, steel, and concrete. The use
of shears is especially common when flame cutting would be dangerous. |
