Demolition can be a big job, not to mention a messy one. Building materials need to be disposed of properly, and a clear space is necessary to make room for new construction. That’s why demolition cleanup is so important and must be handled by professionals.
Here are some things trained experts will take into consideration during demolition cleanup.
- A Solid Plan: After the demolition process is complete, the cleanup phase begins. Contractors will ensure there is a plan in place to delegate cleanup responsibilities among workers. Additional planning includes specific equipment needed as well as which cleanup methods will be utilized.
- Proper Containment: Building demolition can create quite the mess, which is why containment is key. Part of the demolition cleanup process involves putting up strategically placed safeguards and barriers to keep debris, dust, and hazardous materials within the confines of the work site.
- Correct Safety Gear: Safety is as much of an issue during demolition cleanup as it is throughout the demolition process itself. Proper safety gear is essential to minimize hazards for everyone working on the cleanup project. Steel-toed boots, helmets, ventilation masks, protective goggles, and heavy gloves are needed during demolition cleanup.
- Salvageable Materials: Once demolition is complete, there may be materials left that can be recycled. Even if certain materials are non-recyclable, they may be utilized for future projects. Salvageable materials may include asphalt, concrete, wood, corrugated cardboard, and various metals.
