Dismantling of walls

Everyone wants to live and work in comfortable conditions, and old apartments or existing premises are not always as planned as we would like. Such work as the dismantling of walls, today is in demand everywhere: in apartments, offices, shops, workshops, warehouses. So we have to reschedule, demolish partitions and build new ones. Better with this work will cope with specialists, but there are different circumstances.

Dismantling work is always dirty, dusty and noisy. Therefore, the room where the dismantling of walls will be made, it is necessary to try to isolate as much as possible. Work necessarily in tough, sturdy shoes and protect the respiratory system, even with a gauze bandage.

The walls are bearing (along the perimeter of the building and in the middle, depending on the length of the slabs), which perceive the load from the superior structures, and the non-bearing (partitions). The dismantling of walls in the first case is extremely rare, because the integrity and bearing capacity of the entire structure is violated. This is a complicated technical, dangerous work, it is almost impossible to get permission for it.

You can not dismantle the entire wall, at least half a meter should remain on each side. It is mandatory to use unloading structures, immediately weakened section is strengthened by columns and a transverse metal beam. Care should be taken of engineering communications and wiring that can pass through the wall. Everything should be pre-disabled.

Most often in the outer walls make additional doorways. Entrepreneurs buy apartments, arrange offices, workshops or shops in them, they can not do without a door. Usually the opening is cut in the middle of the wall - this is the safest place.

Dismantling of concrete walls is usually carried out by cutting the material with diamond-coated discs into small pieces that are easy to knock out and remove. To strengthen the design, the strapping of metal corners and the channel is used as a horizontal jumper. In the apartment part of the outer wall is removed when they want to increase the kitchen at the expense of the loggia. Through the opening of the window, the concrete is cut through the diamond tool and removed. At the bottom of the panel should remain whole, so the threshold on the balcony is above the floor level of the kitchen. The use of a diamond tool does not create vibration and unnecessary stress in neighboring structures, and noise, dirt is much less.

We have quite a lot of large-panel housing construction, so that partitions are often reinforced. Dismantling the walls of non-curtains inside the apartment produces the same. Be careful and do not cut off the mortgage details first , because the wall may collapse as a result.

With brick walls (if only it is not an outer wall of meter thickness) to understand easier. If there is no diamond tool, the dismantling of the brick walls can be performed with a perforator to break integrity. And a strong man will break a partition into half a brick or a quarter of a brick and a sledge hammer. Strikes should be applied to the lower part of the wall. As the bricks fall, you need to remove it and cut off the reinforcement.

The dismantling of walls and entire buildings on an industrial scale is carried out by construction organizations involving large machinery (cranes, excavators) and a professional complex tool. Dismantling of large concrete massifs or dismantling of walls of large thickness (old buildings) can be carried out using a hydrocracker. In the material holes are drilled with a diameter of 202 mm, into which wedges are inserted. The hydrocamera pumps excessive pressure, which destroys the internal structure of the material and acts in a certain direction. Gidroklin is capable of destroying reinforcement up to a diameter of 40 mm.
