 1. Introduction
This demolition management plan entails various methods and procedural follow-ups to be taken
for the demolition of the building as can be seen in the building plan PN8168 and the picture of
the North elevation side of the building.

1.1. Objective

The main objective of this demolition management plan is to create and document the required
procedures and the legal framework for the physical work to be undertaken in the demolition
process and ensure that they meet the legal, safety and health specification in accordance with
Legislation, regulations, standards and codes of practice that govern the demolition of Class 2-9,
type “B” construction buildings of AS 2601-2001.

Demolition Method/Procedure
Task No. Building/Structure Description of the work Photos
performed
1 The whole site Before the demolition works starts Refer to the plan
disconnection activities will be
performed on the site and they
include;
 Degassing, disconnection
and removal of air
conditioners.
 Disconnection and removal
of still useful electrical
devices and appliances.
 Disconnection and removal
of factory machines safely.
 Disconnection of electricity
and possible removal and
reallocation electricity
equipment such as poles and
electrical cables.
Also, ensure use of protective gear
for the persons undertaking the
demolition work.

2 The whole site Removal of hazardous material. Refer to the plan

Health and safety experts to remove
safely the hazardous material from
the site such as industrial
chemicals.
3 The floor level In this case the floor level Refer to the plan
structure structures will be removed using
the demolition excavator such as
rooms, and floor balconies.
The roofing will be also be
removed by the demolition

3
 excavator after blowing it using
explosives as it is made up of
Bituminous Membrane roof with
50mm insulation and 200mm of
River pebble ballast.

4 Reinforced The reinforced concrete structures Refer to the plan

Concrete Lintels will be blasted using the induced
and Suspended Slab collapse method and will be
demolished using the demolition
excavator once they are on the
ground.
5 Structural The ground structures will be
demolition of the blasted using the induced collapse
ground floor method and will be demolished
using the demolition excavator
once they are on the ground.

 2. Preliminary Demolition Activities
The preliminary activities have been accomplished and the following are the main preliminary
demolition activities;

 The identification of run-off water and stormwater outlets and sealed accordingly to
protect them from sediments and building material sediments that can led to the closure
of the outlets.
 Clear mapping and location of all the operational pathways and available roads for
transportation of the demolished structure.
 Clear mapping and identification of the adjacent and surrounding buildings and structures
such as the shop and the perimeter wall.

2.1. Underground Infrastructure

The following underground essential services infrastructure was identified for disconnection and
protection prior to demolition work commencement;

 An existing sewer system was identified and work was undertaken to barricade and
protect the sewer pit within the boundaries of the site.
 Existing water supply system pipe was identified and work was undertaken to barricade
and protect the sewer pit within the boundaries of the site.
 Existing stormwater conduit pipe was identified and work was undertaken to barricade
and protect the sewer pit within the boundaries of the site to ensure machines can move
on the ground freely.

2.2. Aboveground Infrastructure

The following aboveground essential services infrastructure was identified for disconnection and
protection prior to demolition work commencement;

5
  There is overhead electricity power to the northern part of the premises which is within
meters from the building structure. The Electricity grid providers were engaged to
perform Tiger Tail installation work on the site.

2.3. Hazardous Materials

The Hazardous waste management plan has been prepared which ensures proper handling and
disposal of hazardous wastes such as asbestos and industrial chemicals. In addition hazardous
building material survey has been conducted and proper disposal procedures outlined.

3. A checklist of items required to be completed prior to the

demolition

Items Yes No
Requirements and Procedures
Demolition Permit
Council required documents such as A copy of the title for the
property, Plan of subdivision also known as the title plan and
site plan

Planning permit
Demolition commencement permit

 4. Identifying what technique would be used for the
demolition and why
The technique that can be used in this case is the use of excavators and wrecking balls.
This techniques are preferred because of the small size and height of the building and the
small space available for loading the debris into the earth movers.

5. The sequence of the demolition including the start point

and end point

6. Where the drop zones would be. (Indicated on the site
plan)
The drop zone is supposed to a third of the working height. The height of the
building is 7620 mm which equates to 7.62 meters. And thus the drop zone radius
is 2.54 meters. In the plan section below the black part the drop zone.

9
 7. Where hoardings, fencing and shoring maybe used
Fencing, hoarding and shoring is erected around construction sites to create a barrier to
confine any risk during demolition, excavation of the site, and when construction’s
underway.
They will installed around the perimeter distance of the whole site.

8. Other safety precautions you may take

The Demolition Plan should include this "Identification and use of legislation,
regulations, standards, and codes of practice that govern the demolition of Class 2-9 type
"B" construction buildings." so that it would be legal to do so such demolitions of
buildings. In addition, it would be better to follow the regulations and codes in doing the
plan and also to have safety precautions and protocols. 

9. Observation checklist for the site management team to

check works required to be completed and a place to
record the completion of the required work

Activities Yes No
Disconnect services, power, water, gas etc.
Determine stormwater and sewer drains locations and seal at point
of discharge.
Undertake any adjoining property protection as determined and
agreed by building surveyor and provide temporary wall bracing
and shoring where required.
Remove loose and attached equipment, fittings and built in fixtures,
internally and externally
Remove wall cladding external chimneys, attached outbuildings
and lean-to structure
