Demolition Engineering

Engineering review for removing all or part of a structure while addressing the elements that remain.

What this covers

Understanding Demolition Engineering

Partial demolition can change how a building is supported during and after the work. An engineer may evaluate remaining construction, address separation details or review temporary support considerations in coordination with the contractor.

When engineering may be required
