How Site Safety is Ensured During House Demolition Vancouver

In Vancouver, the majority of demolitions are house demolition Vancouver projects for residential properties that are no longer in use. Once demolished, this makes land available for investors and homeowners alike, for new construction and other potential land use. At A&D Demolition, we perform carefully-planned, safe and up-to-code demolition projects all across Vancouver’s urban and rural neighbourhoods.

This is how we guarantee a house demolition Vancouver project that coincides with all local laws and regulations, and ensures the requirements of our clients are upheld.

We Prioritize Safety

Safety comes first and it’s of the utmost priority at A&D. Regardless of the circumstances or the nature or complexity of the project, safety is absolutely essential. It’s critical that we take every possibility into account, taking all necessary precautions and taking on a big responsibility when it comes to a site that is safe for employees, passers-by and the community.

We do this with a thorough assessment of the site and potentially hazardous circumstances, rooms or materials, as well as making sure we comply with all WorkSafeBC rules, laws and requirements.

We Focus on Electrical & Plumbing

Before a demolition, it’s essential that all utilities including water, gas and electrical are disconnected. Why? Because if the main gas pipe, power cable or water pipe is hit, it could cause extremely dangerous circumstances and delays in the project. It not only poses significant health and safety risks but completely delays the timeline.

We Secure the Site

In demolition, making sure a site is secure refers to making sure that none of the dust, debris and hazardous contaminants affect the community or the area that the property is on. Some older properties may contain substances like asbestos, lead paint or other toxic materials, so it’s important that our team completely clears the site prior to beginning any demolition project. At A&D Demolition, our team is extensively experienced and knowledgeable on a wide variety of hazardous material removal, so you can have peace of mind that your project is in the hands of professionals.

We Carefully Consider Weight & Load

Collapse is always a concern and a risk on demolition projects. We minimize these risks by taking into account potential load sizes and controlling them. This ensures that no excess weight is put into particular parts of the property, especially weak areas that have deteriorated due to age or other means.
