Demolition is a precise process and may be done either manually or mechanically using large hydraulic equipment: elevating work platforms, excavators bulldozers or cranes. Large structures like tower blocks require High-Rise demolition equipment know as a High-Reach machines.
Rotational hydraulic shears and rock-beakers attached to specialist excavators are also used to cut or break through wood, cut steel and crush concrete.
Both demolition and deconstruction involve the pulling down of a building or structure and are the reverse of the construction process. Whilst the two processes are similar in effect deconstruction preserves various elements of the structure, such as wood, and bricks, for reuse for another building or structure.
