  • Demolition and Cleanup
    FactSheet Demolition and Cleanup Before starting a demolition, the person or persons in charge must adequately prepare for the task with regard to the health and safety of the workers. These preparatory operations involve the overall planning of the demolition job, includ- ing the methods to be used to bring the structure down, the equipment neces- sary to do the job, and the measures to be taken to perform the work safely. Before doing demolition work, inspect available personal protective equipment (PPE), and select, wear and use the PPE appropriate for the task. Demolition work involves many of the same hazards associated with construc- tion work. However, demolition also poses additional hazards due to unknown factors such as: deviations from the structure's original design, approved or unapproved modifications that altered the original design, materials hidden with- in structural members, and unknown strengths or weaknesses of damaged mate- rials. To counter these unknowns, all personnel involved in a demolition project need to be fully aware of these types of hazards and the safety precautions avail- able to control these hazards.

  • Interior Architectural Design for Adaptive Reuse in Application of Environmental Sustainability Principles
    sustainability Concept Paper Interior Architectural Design for Adaptive Reuse in Application of Environmental Sustainability Principles Magdalena Celadyn Faculty of Interior Design, Academy of Fine Arts in Krakow, pl. Matejki 13, 31-157 Krakow, Poland; [email protected] Received: 3 June 2019; Accepted: 10 July 2019; Published: 12 July 2019 Abstract: The paper discusses an interior architectural design model to enable the accomplishment of sustainable design strategy of efficient resources/waste management. The proposed design concept, referred to as interior architectural design for adaptive reuse, is based on the reintroduction of reclaimed or salvaged building construction materials and products acquired from demolished or refurbished building structural portions, into the structure of interior components. The presented design approach puts circular design methods and techniques in interior design practice at the core of environmentally responsible architectural design. To achieve its objectives, the implementation of resources efficiency strategy into the interior design scheme should remain a decisive interior design quality criterion. Meanwhile, the issues related to the environmental contextualization of interior spaces and their constitutive components, in fulfilment of sustainable design requirements for the conservation of natural resources, are neither sufficiently recognized by interior designers, nor appropriately highlighted in the current design practice. The main purpose of this concept paper is to develop a theoretical scheme for systemic inclusion of interior architectural design for adaptive reuse into the environmentally sustainable interior architectural design framework. This study provides interior designers with the concept of interior components design for the fulfilment of resources efficiency and waste management effectiveness. Keywords: sustainable architectural design; sustainable interior design; interior components; adaptive reuse; environmental contextualization 1.

  • Construction and Demolition Waste Reduction and Recycling Tips
    RETHINKING DEBRIS The Industry: Construction and Demolition Waste Reduction and recycling Tips An Opportunity There is money lying virtually ignored on the ground at construction and demolition sites across Wisconsin. Second-hand wood flooring, odd cut lumber, siding scraps, used asphalt shingles, surplus drywall, spent corrugated cardboard and other materials typically labeled waste have value that only a few enterprising companies appreciate. If your business builds, renovates or remodels anything from hospitals to single-family homes, furniture or playground equipment, read on. Find out how to put that money on the ground into your pocket, while helping to conserve natural resources. Wisconsin's Wastestream Precise figures are hard to come by, but industry experts estimate that construction waste and demolition debris (C & D) may account for more than a quarter of our nation's entire wastestream. In some areas of Wisconsin, such as Dane County, analysts estimate that up to 45 percent of all landfilled waste is construction and demolition debris. As disposal costs increase, businesses that divert more of their construction waste and demolition debris from the wastestream by reducing, reusing and recycling can save money and help stimulate markets to handle their wastes. In addition to profits, there is also the law to consider. The Waste Reduction and Recycling Law Wisconsin's Waste Reduction and Recycling Law, signed by Governor Tommy Thompson in 1990, was created to help change the state's throw-away habits. Items banned entirely from state landfills and municipal solid waste incinerators include: major appliances, used motor oil, lead-acid vehicle batteries, yard wastes, corrugated cardboard, office paper, magazines, newspaper, aluminum, steel, bi-metal and glass containers, plastic containers (PETE/#I & HDPE/#2) and waste tires.

  • Construction and Demolition Wastes and Clean Rubble Technical Guidance Document SW-1994-G2
    Kansas Department of Health and Environment Bureau of Waste Management 1000 SW Jackson, Suite 320, Topeka, Kansas 66612-1366 Construction and Demolition Wastes and Clean Rubble Technical Guidance Document SW-1994-G2 Construction and Demolition (C&D) waste is solid waste generated during construction or demolition activities. Clean rubble is also generated during construction or demolition activities, but it differs in composition from C&D waste. This document explains the definitions of C&D waste and clean rubble and acceptable methods for disposal of both. Construction and Demolition Waste Definition of C&D waste C&D waste is defined in KSA 65-3402 (u) as: • solid waste resulting from the construction, remodeling, repair and demolition of structures, roads, sidewalks and utilities; • untreated wood and untreated sawdust from any source; • treated wood from construction or demolition projects; • small amounts of municipal solid waste generated by the consumption of food and drinks at construction or demolition sites, including, but not limited to, cups, bags and bottles; • furniture and appliances from which ozone depleting chlorofluorocarbons have been removed in accordance with the provisions of the federal clean air act; • solid waste consisting of motor vehicle window glass; and • solid waste consisting of vegetation from land clearing and grubbing, utility maintenance, and seasonal or storm related cleanup. Such wastes include, but are not limited to, bricks, concrete, and other masonry materials, roofing materials, soil, rock, wood, wood products, wall or floor coverings, plaster, drywall, plumbing fixtures, electrical wiring, electrical components containing no hazardous materials, non-asbestos insulation and construction related packaging. Other statutes and regulations further refine the definition: Construction related packaging means small quantities of packaging wastes that are generated in the construction, remodeling or repair of structures and related appurtenances.

  • Design Services for the Demolition of the Gastineau Apartment Building
    Proposal: Design Services for the Demolition of the Gastineau Apartment Building In response to (C3) RFP E16-015 Submitted on 16 July, 2015 Contact: Dave Hurley, AIA Principal Architect NorthWind Architects [email protected] North Wind Architects, LLC 126 Seward St, Juneau AK 99801 P: 907-586-6150 F: 907-586-6181 Introduction Selection Committee, NorthWind Architects (NWA) is pleased to offer this proposal for design services for the demolition of the Gastineau Apartment Building including site stabilization and site preparation for potential future development. This proposal is unconventional, suggesting alternate approaches we believe will greatly increase the chances of successfully completing the work within a preferred schedule, anticipated budget, and without incident. We strongly suggest, regardless of who is awarded the work, that the project be approached in a manner as similar as possible to a Design-Build approach, with the understanding that this is not a Design-Build project. We appreciate your consideration. Having conducted a detailed condition assessment and temporary protection plan for the property Owner in 2013, we are very familiar with the structure. As you know, the plan, which was developed with Chris Gilberto, then with North Pacific Erectors, was never executed. Left unprotected for over two years, little is salvageable leaving the most efficient path forward to raze the building. This will also offer a future developer the most flexibility, increasing the chances that the site will in fact be developed. That said, NWA’s, JYL’s and R and M’s condition assessments of the building all concluded that it could be feasible to salvage the building’s primary structure, and NorthWind also began work on a proposal in 2013 to do just that.

  • Protecting Historic Resources Through Demolition Review
    State of New Hampshire, Department of Cultural Resources 603-271-3483 19 Pillsbury Street, Concord, NH 03301-3570 603-271-3558 TDD Access Relay NH 1-800-735-2964 FAX 603-271-3433 www.nh.gov/nhdhr [email protected] PROTECTING HISTORIC RESOURCES THROUGH DEMOLITION REVIEW BY EMILY PAULUS, PRESERVATION PLANNER Earlier this year, a local New Hampshire paper reported a Massachusetts developer’s plans to demolish an early 19th-century house that was eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places. While it turned out the developer was only planning to demolish a 1950s barn on the property, the brief scare was enough to awaken residents to the fact that any historic building in the community could be torn down on a whim – even those listed on or eligible for the National Register. This scenario has played out in countless communities across the state, and has led many to take proactive steps to prevent the demolition of historically significant buildings. One approach is through the establishment of a demolition review process. What is Demolition Review and How Does it Work? Demolition review is a preservation tool that ensures potentially significant buildings and structures are not demolished without notice to the community and review by a heritage or historic district commission. A demolition delay ordinance can be adopted as an amendment to the building code, implemented as a stand-alone ordinance, or as a bylaw in an existing historic preservation or zoning ordinance. This legislation can be a very effective tool in helping to protect historically significant resources in the community.

  • Construction & Demolition Wastes to Resources
    Chapter 12 CONSTRUCTION & DEMOLITION WASTES TO RESOURCES This chapter describes the management and disposal systems for construction and demolition (C&D) waste in Clark County. C&D wastes are solid wastes that require special handling and are collected, processed, recovered, recycled and/or disposed of. C&D includes materials regulated as MSW, as well as other wastes regulated in oth- er ways. Some C & D materials are considered special wastes; see Chapter 14 Special Wastes for greater details. Definitions Construction and Demolition wastes are generally defined in the Clark County Code (CCC) Chapter 24.12 as “waste building materials and rubble, resulting from construction, remodeling, repair and demolition operations on houses, commercial buildings, pavements and other structures,” and are generated primarily during residen- tial and non-residential development, redevelopment and remodeling. The construction and demolition waste substream is made up of similar materials that come from two distinct but related activities. Remodeling and repair work generate both types of wastes, often mixed together. Both terms are more specifically defined in the Washington Administrative Code (see below). These definitions should be applied to the content and recom- mendations in this Plan. Construction WAC 480-70-041 defines construction waste as “solid waste resulting from the building Waste or renovation of buildings, roads and other man-made structures. Construction debris includes, but is not limited to, materials such as plasterboard, cement, dirt, wood and brush“. For the purposes of this Plan, construction waste is defined as: Material that is generated as a direct result of building construction activity; such waste includes, but is not limited to, concrete, rubble, fiberglass, asphalt, bricks, plaster, wood, metal, caulk- ing, paper and cardboard, roofing wastes, tar paper, plastic, plaster, paint, block foam wallboard and other similar materials.

  • Demolition Operations Safety
    Savard Labor & Marine Staffing, Inc. Demolition Operations Rev3/14 Demolition Operations Safety OSHA Technical Manual; Section V, Chapter 1. PREPARATORY OPERATIONS. Before the start of every demolition job, the demolition contractor should take a number of steps to safeguard the health and safety of workers at the job site. These preparatory operations involve the overall planning of the demolition job, including the methods to be used to bring the structure down, the equipment necessary to do the job, and the measures to be taken to perform the work safely. Planning for a demolition job is as important as actually doing the work. Therefore, all planning work should be performed by a competent person experienced in all phases of the demolition work to be performed. The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) in its ANSI A10.6-1983 - Safety Requirements For Demolition Operations states: "No employee shall be permitted in any area that can be adversely affected when demolition operations are being performed. Only those employees necessary for the performance of the operations shall be permitted in these areas." ENGINEERING SURVEY. Prior to starting all demolition operations, OSHA Standard 1926.850(a) requires that an engineering survey of the structure must be conducted by a competent person. The purpose of this survey is to determine the condition of the framing, floors, and walls so that measures can be taken, if necessary, to prevent the premature collapse of any portion of the structure. When indicated as advisable, any adjacent structure(s) or improvements should also be similarly checked. The demolition contractor must maintain a written copy of this survey.
