Retaining front facades
To retain the architectural integrity of a city, specifically regarding older historic buildings, the front facade of the building is retained while the rest of the building is demolished. This is achieved by placing steel girders in position to strengthen and stabilise the facade during demolition and the new building phase.
Removal of steel structures
The removal of steel structures is dangerous and difficult work. Often the steel has to be cut and removed in sections without weakening the main structure, until sufficient material has been removed so that the main structure can be safely dismantled.
