Controlled Demolition
Controlled demolition refers to the precise and strategic dismantling of buildings, structures, or specific sections of a structure, using specialised techniques and equipment. Unlike traditional demolition methods that may rely on heavy machines, controlled demolition in Singapore focuses on minimising noise, vibration, and dust, as well as reducing the impact on surrounding areas and the environment. This method is particularly beneficial in dense urban settings, near sensitive structures, or in situations where maintaining the integrity of nearby properties is crucial. At Beng Siew Construction, our controlled demolition services are tailored to each project’s unique requirements, ensuring safety, efficiency, and environmental responsibility throughout the demolition process.
Who requires controlled demolition?
- Urban developers needing safe demolitions in populated areas.
- Preservationists working on selective dismantling of historic sites.
- Government agencies managing infrastructure upgrades in public areas.
- Educational and healthcare facilities expanding with minimal disruption.
- Industrial sites removing outdated or hazardous structures safely.
- Commercial property owners renovating in dense commercial zones.
- Environmental consultants overseeing the safe removal of hazardous materials.
- Construction firms requiring precise dismantling for redevelopment projects.
Concrete Coring/Wire Cutting
The demand for controlled demolition methods is increasing, becoming more frequent and complex in today’s construction landscape. We employ a variety of specialised equipment for these precise tasks, including concrete coring and wire cutting, to achieve the exact dimensions required. This requires precise planning as each controlled demolition work is unique and requires specialised operators to carry out the work.
Concrete coring involves the use of a diamond-tipped drill to remove a cylinder of concrete from a structure. Concrete coring allows for precise cuts without causing damage to the surrounding structures, making it a preferred method for controlled demolition and renovations where integrity and precision are crucial.
Wire cutting employs a steel wire embedded with diamond segments to cut through concrete and metal structures. This method is highly effective for cutting large sections, including those with complex shapes or heavy reinforcement.
Robotic Demolition
Robotic demolition is favoured for projects in tight or confined spaces where traditional machinery cannot easily access. These compact machines, manoeuvrable by a remotely trained operator, can reach areas that would otherwise be inaccessible, ensuring safety by maintaining a distance between the machine and personnel. Additionally, they are ideal for use in environments where heavy machinery use is limited due to sensitivity concerns or the need to minimise noise, such as in residential areas or near hospitals. This versatility makes robotic demolition a key tool for precision work in challenging conditions.
