We perform demolition services as a sophisticated craft using state-of-the-art equipment, including cranes, loaders, excavators, and hydraulic equipment with specialized attachments.

What Is the Difference Between Deconstruction and Demolition?

There is little difference between demolition and deconstruction. Both methods routinely recycle a high percentage of materials on a project site – approximately 90%. The difference is that more equipment and technology are used in demolition, whereas deconstruction tends to be more labor intensive.

Deconstruction involves more dismantlement by hand of potentially recyclable materials. However, the goal of both demolition and deconstruction is the same – to maximize the amount of marketable recyclable materials generated in a demolition project.

What Commodities Are Generated in a Demolition Project?

The demolition industry has been salvaging materials since long before green became a byword. Most materials generated during demolition of structures or facilities have market value and should not to be treated as waste. Commodities recovered in a demolition project may include:

Metals (including iron, steel, copper, brass, and bronze)
Concrete, brick, porcelain, and other aggregate materials
Insulating materials
Wiring and conduit
Plasterboard
Wood
Carpets and flooring
Roofing materials
Ceiling tiles
Soils

Demolition and Asbestos

Although it was not always the case, the health risks associated with asbestos are now well-known. Asbestos is a carcinogen, posing a serious danger to humans when airborne particles are inhaled or swallowed.

This naturally-occurring substance, mined from the ground, was widely used in the 20th Century in building and industry because of its affordability and desirable properties. Asbestos has been used in construction for:

Pipe and ceiling insulation
Sound attenuation
Flooring
Roofing materials
Cement products
Sprayed on fireproofing

Safe and complete removal of asbestos, or asbestos abatement, is an important part of the demolition process. At Quality Environmental, Inc., our technicians act quickly to remove all traces of asbestos to fully address your health and safety concerns, while meeting all regulatory and legal requirements associated with asbestos abatement.

Demolition and PCBs

PCBs are polychlorinated biphenyls – an organic chemical additive used in transformers, capacitors, electrical systems, heat transfer systems, rail cars, and coating materials. PCBs are slow to break down in nature, and have been linked to health issues, including skin conditions and possible liver damage. Demolition involves proper handling and removal of oils and fluids containing PCBs along with PCB-contaminated equipment.
