General
Check the site, building or structure and its contents for likely hazards.
These may include asbestos, electric power lines cables, gas reticulation,
telecommunication, and unsafe structural members. Pedestrian and vehicle
movements passing the site must be determined and traffic control facilities
protected.
Adjoining Buildings
Find out what the building was used for in the past. They may be
dangers from explosive or flammable substances, toxic substances, lead,
asbestos and radioactive substances. Asbestos must be removed prior to
demolition. Check with the Territorial Authority to determine a dangerous
goods license has ever been issued for underground tanks.

Building Plans
Roof
Examine the roof structure. Check the condition of roof trusses and
identify and mark any bracing that is essential for its stability. Check the
nature and condition of roof cladding. If it brittle, special precautions must be
taken to prevent the employees from falling through it. In particular, care must
be taken corrugated “plastic” and asbestos cement roofing.

Walls
Examine the walls. Identify and mark load-bearing walls and check
whether party or cross walls are properly bonded into front and rear walls.
Check the thickness and condition has been completed. Note particularly any
reduction in wall thickness. Any effect on remaining buildings due to removal
of buttressing walls must also be considered. If in doubt, consult a registered
engineer.
Cantilevered Structures
Concrete Structures
Demolition work creates high potential for risks to workers and the
general public. Great care is essential and following the information in this
leaflet will reduce the risk of serious outcomes, ranging from lost time, to
serious injuries and death.

the demolition job, including the methods to be used to bring the structure
down, the equipment necessary to do the job, and the measures to be taken
to perform the work safely. Planning for a demolition job is as important as
actually doing the work. Therefore all planning work should be performed by a
competent person experienced in all phases of the demolition work to be
performed.

Employers must ensure that employees are provided with, and use,
protective clothing and equipment, goggles, face shields, hearing protective
devices, safety belts, gloves and appropriates respirators for dust or
chemicals must be provided as necessary.
1.1.4 Material
All materials arising out of the demolition and alteration work shall
become a property of the Contractor who shall allow credit for the full value to
him off all material salvaged. The Government shall be entitled to purchase
salvaged materials from the Contractor upon payment to the Contractor of the
credit value.
1.1.5 Workmanship
1.1.6 Protection
The Contractor will responsible for the full protection of those parts of
the buildings which are to remain including the provision of temporary dust-
proof screen, tarpaulins, dust sheet and the like.

D. Working Areas
These will need to be well signposted and clear warnings given that
demolition work is in progress. This may include the necessity for some
kind of tape indicating dangerous work on progress.
E. Debris

These can affect safety. Strong winds against unsafe walls, suspended
floors etc. which are improper may lead to collapse.

N. Building
To prevent injury from broken glass, all glass must be removed from
windows before demolition begins. Window opening on street
frontages, or adjacent to access ways, must be blocked off.
Opening in walls, floors and stairways, through which people could fall,
must be boarded up or be provided with the guardrail and toe board, or
both. Access to the areas flooring has been removed must be

When dismantling pitches roof trusses, the last frame should be guyed
before the second last truss is removed, because its stability depends
on the support from adjacent members. As support from buttresses is
removed, bracing should be provided to stabilize the remaining
structure
Avoid free- standing walls by reducing the building in small lifts. Never
leave isolated walls or potentially unstable structure or potentially
unstable structure unpropped, unless they are stable against the wind
and other forces likely to affect them.
Provide support from beams before cutting them free of columns and
walls, if necessary. Column must be guyed before cutting or weakening
the base, so that their fall may be controlled. Clear opening should be
made in floors to allow debris pass through.

The strategy will need to take into account the method of construction
used for the original building and its proximity to other buildings, structures
and the general public. These factors, together with location, the cost and
availability of tipping and disposal and the desirability and economics of
reuse, must be taken into account in the development of an appropriate
strategy for the demolition of a structure.

any job other demolition methods are capable of. However, rather than
shattering the concrete into bits as dynamite and impact tools would, the
lateral forces build up over time to crack the concrete into smaller sections.

Demolition would be done accordingly to zone for this project like example
zone A and zone B. In zone A, chillers plinth would be demolished and parts
of the debris would be used as platform on which the concrete breakers would
be positioned. This is done to reduce vibration of the floor while minimizing
the risks of collapse. The remaining debris would be removed by dumping
through the lift core and stairways.

After completing the demolition works at the top- most floor, a hole
would be made at strategically selected location to enable the machinery to
be moved down to the floor below to continue working on the demolition
works. At the eight floors, the concrete breakers, which are positioned at the
stairways, would be knocking down the remaining floor above.
