Things You Should Know
Before Starting Your Demolition
1. People
Whom are you trusting your demolition project with? It is of utmost importance that you feel comfortable with the people you will be dealing with and how they approach their work. Rhino’s experts have can-do attitudes, communicate extremely well, and work safely … all the while striving to maintain a friendly work environment that earns us repeat business, one customer at a time.
2. Approach
So, what makes Rhino’s approach different from the rest? Rhino has a strong background in machinery design, and works closely with our clients to come up with a plan that not only meets their goals, but does it safer, quicker or less expensively. We utilize state-of-the-art machinery and age-old demolition skills that are not available in any classroom to complete the project on time, on budget and in a friendly, easy-to-deal-with manner.
3. Demolition vs. Dismantlement
There are essentially three types of demolition. The first is interior strip-outs, in which the building is kept intact while all the interior is removed to make way for a new build-out. Second, there is dismantling. Dismantling includes the precise removal of the equipment from an existing facility. The third type is demolition, which is the complete removal of a structure, inside and out. Nothing is left after a demolition but the ground on which the structure previously sat. It’s important at the beginning of your process to decide which type is right for your project. The experts at Rhino can help you make that determination.
4. Asset Recovery/Liquidation
Do you have anything worth salvaging? Even if you think the answer is “no,” you probably do. Rhino Demo can assess your property for salvageables and recyclables (metals, existing equipment, etc.), or even to see if your property may be a candidate for liquidation, which is removing your structure and paying you for the asset. Many times, the value of the materials outweighs the cost of the demolition. Whether your project is a simple demolition or involves complicated equipment removal, Rhino will use innovative approaches to minimize cost and maximize return.
5. Implosion
Movie and TV producers love implosion. That’s why many people associate demolition with implosion, or “blowing up” a building. The fact is, only about 2% to 3% of demolition is done by implosion. Though it is not the typical method of demolition, Rhino Demo is experienced in implosion and can employ this method when the job calls for it.
