T Evolution in demolition techniques. How did we get from precision machinery to controlled blasting?

Demolition techniques have changed radically in recent years. From the manual methods of the past to the use of precision machinery and controlled blasting, the industry has evolved into a high-tech field where safety, precision and speed are priorities.

How did we go from manual labor to precision machinery?

In the past, demolitions were carried out with basic tools and significant human effort. Often this process had limited control and increased risk. However, the modern era has brought mechanical demolition with the use of specialized machinery such as:

  • Hydraulic shears and hammers
  • Remote-controlled excavators
  • Robotic machines for tight spaces

These solutions offer millimeter precision and allow for the controlled dismantling of buildings without affecting neighboring structures.

What is controlled demolition? 

On large-scale projects, where mechanical demolition is not practical, the solution lies in controlled demolitions with explosivesThis is a process that requires absolute specialization and rigorous design study, so that each stage is performed with precision and safety.

The specialist engineers determine:

  • The strategic placement of explosives
  • The sequence of explosions
  • The calculation of the structural behavior of the building

The result is a fast, safe and controlled process,that minimizes the impact on the environment and the urban landscape.

What is the importance of proper design?

The success of a demolition depends primarily on careful planning. Each project requires an analysis of the type of construction, geotechnical studies and environmental assessment. In this way, the team selects the ideal demolition techniqueWhether it's mechanical or precision blasting, proper preparation reduces risks, ensures worker safety and guarantees the best result at the lowest possible cost.

What are the new technologies in demolitions?

Modern demolition is no longer limited to dust and noise. Advanced techniques include:

  • Use of vibration and noise sensors,
  • Aerial inspections with drones,
  • Digital BIM models for blasting design,
  • Recycling and reuse of materials after demolition.

These practices not only increase accuracy and speed, but also reduce the environmental footprint of projects.

The evolution of demolition techniques reflects the constant search for efficiency, safety and sustainability. Today, the success of a project is not only measured by the speed of execution, but also by the control, planning and expertise behind each action.

Controlled demolition with precision explosives is the pinnacle of this evolution, a process where science and experience coexist with the aim of achieving excellent results.
