Demolition of the Old
Myer Building,
Perth, Western Australia.
Demolition is the tearing-down of
buildings and other
structures, the
opposite of
construction. Demolition contrasts with
deconstruction, which involves taking a building apart while carefully preserving valuable elements for re-use.
For small buildings, such as
houses, that are only two or three stories high, demolition is a rather simple process. The building is pulled down either manually or mechanically using large hydraulic equipment: elevated work platforms, cranes,
excavators or
bulldozers. Larger buildings may require the use of a
wrecking ball, a heavy weight on a cable that is swung by a
crane into the side of the buildings. Wrecking balls are especially effective against masonry, but are less easily controlled and often less efficient than other methods. Newer methods may use rotational hydraulic shears and silenced rock-breakers attached to excavators to cut or break through wood, steel, and concrete. The use of shears is especially common when flame cutting would be dangerous.
The tallest building demolished by nonterrorist methods was the 47-story
Singer Building in
New York City, which was built in 1908 and torn down in 1967-1968 to be replaced by
One Liberty Plaza. There were later
taller buildings in the area that
fell down due to the
September 11 attacks.
