Demolition dust control challenges
Construction sites can give rise to dust and debris that can get mixed with the air and give rise to respiratory health problems and can also cause damage to surrounding properties. The problem is that the demolition process will always create dust. Whenever there is demolition the first thing that comes to mind is of buildings collapsing, dust and dirt, air pollution and possible exposure to harmful particles that are liberated in the demolition process. Fine particles can be carried from demolition sites in light winds and may have adverse effects on the local environment. There are several factors which contribute to dust control challenges:
- Strict compliance to the rules and regulations .
- State of the art equipment to carry out successful demolition job.
- Safety measures for the property and professionals involved.
- Environmental safety due to irreplaceable damage to the environment.
- The need to minimize the dust impact through dust control.
