Specifies that structures are to be demolished using ordinary hand-held tools, debris removal at ground floor, and that demolition starts from the roof and proceeds floor by floor with gradual breaking of concrete and controlled removal of reinforcement. Requires installation of propping under cantilever beams when applicable, removal of unauthorized structures, verification against latest approved plans, and retention of the ground floor slab. Includes asbestos investigation survey by a specialist and details demolition sequence, demolition of UBW structures, debris handling limits, emergency exit maintenance, protection of openings, and fire prevention measures.",{"@graph":14,"@context":72},[15,34,55],{"@type":16,"itemListElement":17},"BreadcrumbList",[18,23,27,31],{"item":19,"name":20,"@type":21,"position":22},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",1,{"item":24,"name":25,"@type":21,"position":26},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/","Document",2,{"item":28,"name":29,"@type":21,"position":30},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/research-report/","Research & Report",3,{"item":32,"name":10,"@type":21,"position":33},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/method-statement-for-demolition-work-general/664859/",4,{"url":32,"name":10,"@type":35,"image":36,"author":41,"headline":10,"publisher":44,"fileFormat":47,"inLanguage":8,"description":12,"dateModified":48,"datePublished":49,"encodingFormat":47,"isAccessibleForFree":50,"interactionStatistic":51},"DigitalDocument",{"url":37,"@type":38,"width":39,"height":40},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/method-statement-for-demolition-work-general/664859.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":42,"@type":43},"lugxt","Person",{"url":19,"name":45,"@type":46},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-10-30","2026-10-29",true,{"@type":52,"interactionType":53,"userInteractionCount":33},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":54},"ViewAction",{"@type":56,"mainEntity":57},"FAQPage",[58,64,68],{"name":59,"@type":60,"acceptedAnswer":61},"What general requirements govern the demolition work?","Question",{"text":62,"@type":63},"The demolition work must comply with building (demolition works) regulations, BS6187:82, construction site (safety) regulations, PNAP71 requirements, and the Code of Practice for Demolition of Buildings 2004.","Answer",{"name":65,"@type":60,"acceptedAnswer":66},"How should demolition proceed across floors and structural elements?",{"text":67,"@type":63},"Demolition should begin on the roof and proceed down floor by floor to ground floor.
