Demolition of buildings and structures damaged as a result of hostilities

The demolition of buildings and structures damaged by hostilities and terrorist acts is an important task in the process of infrastructure restoration. This process requires a comprehensive approach, as incorrect actions can cause even greater destruction and create a danger to people and the environment. You can entrust the demolition of buildings and structures damaged by hostilities to the professionals at Forest-Ukraine. We will carry out demolition work quickly, inexpensively and in accordance with the current legislation of Ukraine.

Features of dismantling structures and buildings damaged during the war

The process of dismantling objects damaged as a result of hostilities is regulated by Resolution No. 474 of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine dated 19 April 2022. Our company strictly complies with the requirements of this legislative act when performing work. This type of dismantling is carried out if residential, commercial, industrial facilities or structures for various purposes have been damaged or destroyed as a result of the following events:

• natural or man-made emergencies;
• military operations;
• terrorist acts.

In this case, an inspection is carried out and appropriate decisions are made to eliminate the negative consequences. The legislative document contains information about the customer ordering the dismantling, the location and a brief description of the facility, the identifier (registration number) of the inspection report, and the conditions and requirements for dismantling.

Main stages of dismantling

The dismantling of buildings and structures damaged or destroyed as a result of hostilities and terrorist acts includes the following stages:

• Damage assessment. Before a decision on dismantling is made, damaged objects are inspected to determine the extent of damage and hazardous areas. A decision on the need for dismantling is made.
• Planning. Our company develops a demolition plan. At the preparation stage, we consider the sequence of work, the need to use heavy equipment and remove hazardous materials. Due attention is paid to safety measures for workers.
• Removal of hazardous materials. Identification, removal and disposal of hazardous materials (asbestos, chemicals, etc.) are carried out.
• Demolition of walls, roofs and other elements. Damaged structures are dismantled using specialised equipment (excavators, cranes).
• Territory planning. Construction waste and other construction debris is collected and disposed of. The territory is cleaned and roads are cleared.

Our company is a responsible contractor that performs work quickly and safely.

Features of documentation development

The development of documentation is an important step in the process of safe and effective dismantling. This process relies on the contractor, so the contractor must have relevant experience in this field. Our company is a competent contractor with a reliable reputation. We will prepare the documentation in accordance with the established requirements.

All work is carried out in accordance with safety standards and approved dismantling technology. The main source data for the development of documentation is:

• Decision on demolition. This is an official document confirming the need to demolish a building or structure. Without it, project documentation cannot be developed.
• Report on the results of the survey with recommendations. A preliminary inspection of the object to be dismantled is carried out in order to identify possible hazards and make recommendations on the sequence of work.
• Project documentation or technical passport of the facility. These documents contain important technical data about the building or structure, which is necessary for developing demolition plans.
• Information about underground utility networks and structures, power lines and communications lines. It helps to take into account existing communication systems and take measures for their safe disconnection and dismantling.
• Information about the presence of civil defence protective structures at the sites. This is important for ensuring worker safety during dismantling and taking into account the specific features of the structures during complete or partial dismantling.
• Information about the location of disposal sites. For effective and environmentally safe waste disposal, transportation and removal, it is necessary to have information about the relevant disposal sites, landfills, and means of transport for delivery.

Taking this information into account when developing dismantling documentation will help to ensure the efficiency and environmental friendliness of all work, as well as to understand the specific features of the facility and its surrounding environment.
