If
you are interested in demolition, R. Baker & Son recommends the
National Demolition Association’s video “Introduction to the Demolition
Industry”. This informative video explores the history of
demolition and the demolition contractor’s role in urban renewal,
recycling, environmental cleanup, restoration, and disaster response.
Narrator Ed Asner describes demolition contractors not as destroyers but as creators of space for new construction,
of ways to reuse recycled building materials, and of jobs. Demolition
brings tax dollars into new communities, creates space for new parks,
and protects public safety by removing dangerous structures.
The demolition industry is described as constantly evolving to meet
new safety regulations and environments restraints. Interior demolition
clears old factory space to make way for new equipment, and remove
interior walls to create modern office spaces. The video features
footage of building implosion, heavy equipment demolishing homes,
buildings, bridges, industrial complexes, and oil tanks, giant shears
cutting through steel beams, and machinery is shown crushing and
grinding concrete.
Asner talks about demolition contractors’ involvement in the removal of hazardous materials like lead, asbestos and PCBs, as well as the recycling of materials like concrete, steel, iron, copper, and wood. Historic preservation is discussed, describing how demolition contractors dismantle building interiors while leaving facades and other architectural features intact. “Demolition is not destruction”, Asner says. “It’s the first step in creation.”
