Trafalgar Construction has demolished thousands of structures.
As usual, this major growing segment of the construction industry requires demolition while tenants and neighbours work and live near by. Noise, dust, and vibration are just a few of the concerns that occur. These challenges are being met by diamond sawing and drilling.
During our development, we have remained true to those principles which have propelled us to the forefront of the industry: quality of work, investment in plant and people, and the fact that we have always retained the "personal" touch.
Trafalgar Construction are prepared to tender any works, including categories such as soft strip demolition. This includes the dismantling of internal walls, floor coverings, ceilings and fixtures and fittings, mainly found
within office blocks, schools and shops.
Crunching
Concrete Crunching is used as a method of demolishing areas with minimal noise and vibration. It is often used in confined spaces, where there is a need to reduce noise, dust and inconvenience.
Hand concrete crushing allows for controlled, almost silent demolition. It reduces concrete to rubble without vibration or water. Hydraulic busters are generally used for the removal of large sections of concrete.
Concrete Bursting
A special process of drilling a pattern of holes to form a plane of weakness and then employing hydraulic busters or expanding grout to induce cracking in to the mass. Due to the non percussive nature of this operation the integrity of the structure is not undermined, also the reinforcement bar can be left if desired.
Other bursting techniques include electric hand held splitters often used where access is a problem, and chemical bursting which provides a useful alternative method.
Ideal for office blocks, shopping centres, residential buildings and hospitals. Large 107mm hydraulic rams are used to split large concrete blocks and concrete walls.
Pressure bursting can be used in cases where relatively quiet, dust-free, controlled demolition is preferred. Mechanical bursting split the concrete, either with a splitting machine operating on hydraulic pressure provided by a motor in the case of mechanical bursting, or through the insertion of an expansive slurry into a pre-determined pattern of boreholes in the case of chemical bursting. The split concrete is then easily removed, either by hand or by crane.
Hydraulic pressure concrete bursting break up concrete structures with a minimum of noise and flying debris. Both methods work by applying lateral forces against the inside of holes drilled into the concrete, and can do virtually 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.
