Will the refurbishment and retrofit sector be held to the same exacting standards expected from the demolition industry? #construction #demolition #demolitioncontractor #demolitionequipment #equipmentrental #equipmentoperator #planthire #infrastructure #constructionsite #constructionworker #constructionequipment #constructionindustry 

If you are unable to understand the cause of a problem, how can you possibly hope to solve it? That's the crux of one of the most interesting pieces of data to come out of Dodge Construction Network Trimble's 2022 Connected Construction: The Specialty Trade Contractors' Perspective study. In the study, trade contractors were asked which 20 administrative, field/crew, and operations processes were at the root cause of errors and delays. A plot graph revealed that there are 5 processes that are the most potentially disruptive, because of how often they occur and how impactful they are. This data set can serve as a road map for trade contractors who want to improve processes where they can have the most overall impact on their business.

What if planning regulations are changed to all but outlaw demolition?  What if there is a subsequent swing in favour of refurbishment, repair and refit demand?  Is the refurbishment sector suitably well-trained, well-educated and well-regulated to take up the mantle? #construction #demolition #demolitioncontractor #demolitionequipment #equipmentrental #equipmentoperator #planthire #infrastructure #constructionsite #constructionworker #constructionequipment #constructionindustry 

How has your business been affected by the ‘recession in construction ‘ ? Here is how it has affected us Negatives - - the phone has rung a lot less - our quietest start to a year in 8 years of Theo Webster electrical services - dealing with other companies under cutting us on projects - I had to let one of my perminant sub contractors go after nearly 3 years of working together. - it’s been the most stressed I have been in that last 4 years actually worrying about work and where our next job was coming from. Positives - - I’ve been forced to be pro-active about finding work and new clients - it has made me care a lot more about customer relationships etc - the type of work we have had has been with mostly new clients and of a higher average valuation to previous years - it has given me more time with my family ! - I have been able to put more time in to my YOUTUBE which has been quite fun So it’s been good and bad ! However I am still hoping that things go back to ‘normal’ and things are as chaotic as they used to be as I love the fast pace of it all #electrical #business #recession #construction #spark #sparky #electricalcontractor #electrician #2024 #goals #youtube #affected

When I was in the military, my role was as a demolition soldier. I used to calculate how much dynamite or TNT was needed to destroy bridges or structure. Upon returning to university, I seriously considered becoming a demolition engineer. Unfortunately, there were no specialized companies in Korea where I could learn this trade, so I became a cable bridge specialist instead. The building demolition method using explosives is one of the methods for efficiently dismantling structures. Below are the advantages and disadvantages of this method. Advantages 1. Speed: Demolition by explosion can dismantle large structures within seconds, making it extremely fast. 2. Cost Efficiency: The rapid pace of demolition saves on labor and time, which can lead to cost reductions. 3. Controlled Planning: Explosive demolitions are carried out under rigorous plans, minimizing the impact on surrounding buildings and structures. - Disadvantages 1. Risk: Using explosives is highly dangerous, and improper planning or execution can lead to severe accidents. 2. Environmental Pollution**: The dust and debris produced during explosions can cause air pollution, and the noise from the blasts contributes to noise pollution. 3. Regulations and Permits: Demolition work requires strict regulatory compliance and permitting processes, which can be complex and time-consuming. Considering these factors, choosing the explosive demolition method requires careful planning and preparation. This video is demolision of MINA tower plaza in Abu dhabi.

Underground utility locating refers to the process of identifying and marking the underground infrastructure, such as pipelines, cables, wires, and other utilities, before any excavation or construction work takes place. The goal is to prevent accidental damage to these vital utilities during construction or digging activities. This process is crucial for ensuring the safety of workers, avoiding service disruptions, and preventing costly repairs.

Every construction trade plays a different role in each construction project. As a result, they are likely to find different values in the myriad tools and features available in Bluebeam Revu. Kaaron Lee-Wah, an electrician in Toronto, is no different. To him, Revu has become essential ever since his boss asked him to explore how to completely digitize his company’s electrical drawings from paper. Revu has allowed him to use tools in the software that make his job more efficient, helping him to save time on previous paper-based tasks.
