Commercial Demolition - Demolition for Commercial Properties

There are times where for one reason or another commercial structures must be demolished, as we've all seen on television. This is typically done to an old building that has out lived its initial uses. Even to the untrained eye one can see that the explosions that fuel commercial demolitions are controlled as most buildings cave in on themselves after a series of staggered charges. The reality is that these implosions are done in a very precise and technical manner with demolition safety being at the forefront of every decision. A great deal of planning needs to be done on any project before any action is ever taken, this is typically done through the use of an engineering survey to access the overall condition of the industrial structure. Ontario Specialty Contracting, often referred to in acronym form as OSC, was formed in 1997 with a corporate mission statement "to provide the safest, most environmentally sound and cost effective solutions to commercial and industrial clients with specialty contracting needs." Of course this mission statement includes the companies approach to all commercial demolition and the importance it places on the efficiency of the projects that OSC involves itself in.

• Inspection of the property prior to implosion
• Identification/removal of any hazardous chemicals, gases, explosives or flammable materials previously used or stored on site
• The demolition area should be clearly marked as such to ensure that only authorized personnel are allowed within restricted areas of the site
• All electric, gas, sewer, water, steam and overhead lines must be located shut off and or capped
• First aid and CPR equipment made readily available and easily accessible
• A complete written blasting survey must be made by a qualified OSC technician
• The transportation, storage, and inventory of the explosives as well as any fire precautions must be taken into account
• Procurement of EMS in the event of something not going to plan during or after the blast
• A post-inspection of the area should be conducted after the blast to insure that no hazards remain
