WHAT IS ASBESTOS?
Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral composed of small fibres with unique properties. These silicate fibres are known for their exceptional strength, allowing them to withstand pulling and stretching forces without breaking.
They exhibit remarkable heat resistance, enabling them to endure high temperatures without significant structural changes. Asbestos fibres also display excellent resistance to chemicals, making them useful in industries dealing with corrosive materials.
Consequently, asbestos became enticing for widespread use in construction, automotive, manufacturing, and shipbuilding, appearing in various forms such as insulation, roofing materials, ceiling tiles, vinyl, and many other products.
However, while asbestos possesses desirable properties, its health risks outweigh the benefits. Therefore, precautions must be taken to prevent exposure to these harmful fibres.
WHAT IS DEMOLITION?
Demolition is the process of dismantling, tearing down, or destroying structures or buildings in a controlled manner. This can involve the use of machinery, or manual labour to safely and efficiently remove unwanted structures. The process can range from removing parts of a building to complete demolition of an entire structure.
Demolition typically includes site preparation, safety planning, and managing waste materials.
WHAT IS DECONSTRUCTION?
Deconstruction is a method of dismantling buildings in a way that carefully preserves materials for reuse, recycling, or repurposing. Deconstruction involves taking apart buildings piece by piece to maximise the recovery of valuable materials. This process prioritises sustainability, waste reduction, and the conservation of resources by salvaging components such as wood, metal, fixtures, and architectural elements for future use.
Deconstruction supports environmental goals and can provide economic benefits by reducing disposal costs and supplying reusable materials.
WHAT IS CIVIL WORKS?
Civil works refer to the construction, maintenance, and design of infrastructure projects that serve the public and contribute to the functioning of a community or society. These projects are typically large-scale and include a wide range of activities.
Civil works are essential for economic development and improving the quality of life by ensuring efficient transportation, sanitation, water supply, and public services.
WHAT IS BULK WORKS?
Bulk works refer to large-scale construction activities that involve the movement and handling of significant quantities of materials. This includes tasks like excavation, earthmoving, grading, levelling and site preparation.
These activities are foundational for major construction projects like building roads, highways, large buildings, and industrial sites.
