"4 Ways to Demolish a Building"


The choice of method to demolish a building is dependent on some factors, but no matter which, safety for the crew and surroundings is essential. Here are four methods.

First, the most dramatic one – by implosion. Often used for large structures in urban areas, it requires comprehensive planning for explosives to tear buildings down.

Second, by the high reach arm. A demolition tool is attached to a base machine, and buildings are broken up from the top down. Like the next method, this is common for removing tall buildings, but safer.

Third, there is the traditional, common wrecking ball. It requires skilful operators and creates environmental pollution.

Fourth, selective demolition, or “strip-out”. Increasingly popular, it allows recycling and reusing of the materials for new structures. However, it lacks efficiency.

    Its relatively poor and developing. It is because you did not have your citations in this article. You didn't state who is the author and the year of this article.

    Hi Nicholas

    Generally we felt your summary is developing, main idea of the article is present but there are some points we thought you could improve on:

    - your summary should not be split into paragraphs, compile all into 1 paragraph will be good.

    - include citation at the start of your summary.

    - link back to the article, you could use words such as "the article explained...."

    - sentence structuring
    >> e.g: "Increasingly popular, it allows recycling and reusing of the materials for new structures." you could change it to "It's popularity is increasing as it allows recycling and reusing of materials for new structures."

    Overall, it was a good start.

    Best regards
    Bernadine and Nicholas Chang
