0.3 Demolition of any structure is, inherently, more hazardous than the construction or
erection of the same. From the point of view of safety, the conditions usually encountered
while dismantling a structure, whatever its magnitude, do not lend themselves to the
degree of control possible in construction operations where more stable conditions are
generally obtainable. It is all the more imperative, therefore, that adequate attention is
given to the planning and the execution of demolition work, its various stages, so as to
minimize the risk of accident and injuries to the personnel engaged on demolition
operations. Adoption of predetermined and well planned safety measures for demolition
work will not only prevent accidents but also will increase all-round efficiency.
1 SCOPE
It describes the recommended basic safety Procedure for demolition of building and
structures and the precautionary measures and the safety appliances. Associated Hazards
during demolition of Buildings and structures such as Collapse of structure, falling material,
flying material, impact/hit by material, collapse of equipment/machinery, noise, entrapment,
fall from height, electrocution, Fire, explosion etc. This standard is applicable for all locations
of steel plant and Mines in India. Responsibility to use this standard is of the Executing

2.12 RECOMMENDATION FOR DEMOLITION OF CERTAIN SPECIAL TYPES AND ELEMENTS

OF STRUCTURES.
2.12.1 Roof Trusses
 If a building has a pitched roof, the roof structure should be removed to wall top
level by hand methods. Sufficient purlin and bracing should be retained to
ensure stability of the remaining roof trusses while each individual truss is
removed progressively.
 Temporary bracing should be added, where necessary, to maintain stability.

The end frame opposite to the end where dismantling is commenced, or a
convenient intermediate frame should be independently and securely guyed in
both directions before work starts.
 On no account should the bottom tie of roof trusses be cut until the principal
rafters are prevented from making outward movement.
2.12.2 Heavy Floor Beams
Heavy blocks of timber and steel beams should be supported before cutting at the
extremities and should then be lowered to a safe working place.
2.12.3 In-Situ Reinforced Concrete
 Before commencing demolition, the nature and condition of the concrete, the
condition and position of reinforcement and the possibility of lack of continuity of
reinforcement should be ascertained.
 Attention should be paid to the principles of the structural design to determine

which parts of the structure depend on each other to maintain overall stability.
 Demolition should be commenced by removing partitions and external non-load

bearing cladding. It should be noted that in some buildings the frame may rely
on the panel walls for stability.
 Where hand demolition methods are to be used, the following procedures
should be used.
Page 11 of 36
IPSS 1-11-031-17
2.12.4 Reinforced concrete beams
For beams, a supporting rope should be attached to the beam. Then the concrete
should be removed from both ends by pneumatic drill and the reinforcement exposed.
The reinforcement should then be cut in such a way as to allow the beam to be lowered
under control to the floor.
2.12.5 Reinforced concrete columns
For columns, the reinforcement should be exposed at the base after restraining wire guy
ropes have been placed round the member at the top. The reinforcement should then
be cut in such a way as to allow the column to be pulled down to the floor under control.
2.12.6 Reinforced concrete walls
Reinforced concrete walls should be cut into strips and demolished in the same way as
columns.
2.12.7 Suspended floors and roofs
Before demolishing suspended floors and roofs, the type of construction should be
ascertained. In solid slabs, the direction of the main reinforcement should be determined;
the slab should then be cut into strips parallel to the main reinforcement and demolished
strip by strip. Where ribbed construction has been used, the principle of design and
method of construction should be determined before demolition is commenced. Care
should be taken not to cut the ribs inadvertently.
2.12.8 Precast Reinforced Concrete
 Precast reinforced concrete units used in a structure are normally held in position
by the strength of the joints made in-situ or on supporting walls, etc. As such,
before starting demolition, the joint structures and/or the supporting mechanisms
shall be studied and understood.
 In devising and following the demolition sequences due precaution shall be taken
to avoid toppling over of prefabricated units or any other part of the structure and
wherever necessary temporary supports shall be provided.
 Before commencing of the demolition work involving such structures advice of an

expert in such demolition shall be obtained and followed.

SECTION – 1
PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN BEFORE DISMANTLING OF STEEL STRUCTURALS.
Before any dismantling job is taken up, the Executing Authority shall officially identify a
“Dismantling Leader” by a letter to respective authorities. The Dismantling Leader must have
adequate knowledge and experience of structural dismantling and shall be responsible for safe
dismantling work. Apart from other safety precautions, he will take particular care of the points,
mentioned below:
1. Ensure that the structural members to be dismantled are not supporting any other
structural members. In case, it is supporting, the other structures should be suitably
supported before dismantling work is taken up.
2. All service lines like Oxygen, Nitrogen, Compressed air, CO gas, BF gas, LD gas etc
carrying lines supported on the structurals intended to be dismantled, should be re-
routed. In case, it is decided that structurals will be partially dismantled to retain support
of the service lines, adequate safety precautions should be taken while dismantling, to
avoid fire hazards and puncturing of service lines. Structural stability and adequacy shall
be ensured before dismantling and even after partial dismantling.
3. All electrical lines supported on structurals intended to be dismantled, should be
disconnected from source of power, and dismantling should start only after necessary
clearance to that effect is obtained, in writing from concerned Electrical Power/Operation
Department. Ensure Positive Isolation for the entire building.
4. The condition of structurals intended to be dismantled shall be inspected for corrosion, to

ensure that it does not collapse while dismantling.
5. All tools and tackles used for dismantling should be in sound condition and adequately
strong. Lifting tools and tackles used should have test certificate, issued by competent
authority.
6. Cranes, used for dismantling, should have necessary fitness certificate. The driver shall
also have necessary health and eye test certificate.
7. If derrick is used in place of crane, it should be properly guyed for stability and should have
specified lifting capacity. In no case, the specified lifting capacity should be exceeded.
8. All persons engaged in dismantling work should be given safety training and they should
ensure use of safety appliances. If the dismantling is near any gas line, then the
workmen engaged should be given gas safety training.
9. While working at height, Full body Harness should be used. While climbing up or down,
Fall arrestor should be used. A wire rope shall be tied at two rigid points to fasten the life
line of safety Full body Harness, where other tying members are not available.
10. All dismantled material shall be lowered down on ground in controlled way.
11. Job safety analysis shall be done before dismantling.
12. Dismantling sequence shall be prepared before dismantling.

GENERAL SEQUENCE OF DISMANTLING

STRUCTURAL BUILDING
The sequence of dismantling should be such that the structure does not lose its stability at any
point of time during the entire process of dismantling.
1. Ensure that all precautions, as indicated in Section – 1, are taken.
2. Remove all roof and side sheetings.
3. Purlins should not be dismantled at this stage, but side girts can be dismantled.
4. All Purlins between monitor truss can be removed and monitor truss dismantled without
damaging the roof truss.
5. Start dismantling from gable end, and work towards any intermediate braced bay. This
braced bay is to be dismantled last.
6. Remove gable steel (gable posts and gable runners) work except roof truss.
7. Remove alternate purlins between end roof truss and adjacent truss.
8. Hold the roof truss to be dismantled with crane or derrick and remove balance purlins,
rafter bracings, bottom chord bracings and struts, if any, between this truss and adjacent
truss.
9. Gas cut the truss members along the face of column on both sides, and lower the roof truss.
10. Sequence 6 to 8 to be repeated for dismantling subsequent roof trusses.
11. While removing the last two trusses, both the trusses should be held with crane before
repeating sequence 6, 7 and 8.
12. Dismantle gantry girder, surge platform, surge girder and outrigger (Auxiliary) girder
between end column intended to be dismantled and adjacent column.
13. Remove longitudinal bracings and struts if any, between end column and adjacent
column. Also remove any other structurals or platform. Dismantle end column.
14. Repeat sequence 11 and 12 for subsequent columns on both lines. Vertically braced bay
columns shall be dismantled last.
15. For multi storeyed building dismantle all floor beams and floor plates except the beams
connecting the building column. These framing beams and parts of columns shall be
dismantled floor wise, starting from top, maintaining the stability of structures at all time.
16. For bin house, dismantle all bin plates except the girder or bin plates connecting the
building columns.

Recommended Practice for Dismantling and Rearranging (D&R) facilities
The following practices are strongly recommended for all “large” D&R projects. Sites
electing not to adopt any of these practices must have an alternative better practice that is
at least equal to those not adopted.
1. Equipment Identification
 Use different color paints or stickers on equipment, piping, or electrical to be

removed to distinguish it from equipment, piping, or electrical to remain.
 Identify both what is to be removed and what is to remain.
 Use different colors to identify the presence of asbestos, lead, etc. and non-
hazardous coatings. Use unique color paint, stickers, or tags to identify the exact
location of subsequent breaks being performed by the contractor personnel.
 Signs or posters describing the identification method including examples of the
actual colors or tags must be posted in strategic locations throughout the work area.
 The integrity of the markings should be reviewed throughout the life of the project.
2. Utilities diversion / isolation
 Executing Authority should perform isolation and all utility diversion activities. As a
best practice, the facilities should be completely isolated (de-energized, drained,
blanked out, etc.) before the work to begin.
 For diversion / isolation of electrical utilities, prior approval / permit shall be taken
from concerned electrical department or Electrical Maintenance Department.
 For diversion / isolation of various gas / steam pipe lines, prior approval / permit &
clearance for dismantling of pipes shall be taken from concerned department or
from Fuel / Energy Management Department as applicable.
 For diversion / isolation of underground sewer line, storm line and other service
water lines, prior approval / permit shall be taken from Civil department/ concerned
department..
3. Auditing
 Conduct D&R focused audits separate from the site’s normal audit process.
 Participants on the audit must be trained to recognize unique D&R hazards and be
knowledgeable of the D&R job plan.
Page 26 of 36
IPSS 1-11-031-17
 Daily focused D&R audits to be conducted.
 Audit team shall comprise of at least a Safety Department, operating area

representative, and D&R contractor supervisor.
4. Electrical
 All persons employees performing demolition & rearranging of electrical conduit,

cables or conductors must be trained
 Provide general “electrical safety awareness training” to D&R contractor personnel

not engaged in electrical demolition & rearranging.
 Identification and marking of circuits must be performed by personnel with long-

term site experience.
 Remove all fuses from motor control centers.
 If lighting panels must remain active, determine how energized electrical panels and
circuits will be clearly identified and the location communicated to the D&R
contractor.
5. Building and Process Decontamination
 De-inventory and flush all process vessels, storage tanks, receivers, pumps, and
piping systems of all residual chemicals.
 Written authorization from the consultants / engineers required before torch cutting
any vessels, tanks, or piping carrying flammable liquid or gas.
 Positive verification of removal of flammable liquid, gas, or residual materials by

purging before authorizing torch cutting.
 Remove gas from large fixed refrigeration units.
 Open process equipment inspection ports/nozzles for internal inspection.
 Open all low point equipment and piping systems drains and leave all valves in
open position. Open all jackets and coils and utility side of heat exchangers.
 Decontaminate any process equipment/piping systems that are not “visually clean”.
 Open, inspect and clean, if necessary, ventilation ductwork. Clean building ditches,
trenches and pumps.
6. Building Isolation
 Define and identify any process and/or service piping systems that must be
relocated to isolate the building.
Page 27 of 36
IPSS 1-11-031-17
 Define and identify any electrical services that must be relocated to isolate the
building.
 Use a service of person with long-term site specific experience to physically break
all electrical, utility, and process piping. Ensure POSITIVE ISOLATION of the
equipment / system from electrical source or any other energy source.
7. Rigging, Mechanical and Manual Lifting
Treat all rigging and mechanical lifting jobs as “critical” lifts.
Rigging plan review includes the following:
 Contractor rigging training
 Crane operator certification

 Crane certification and inspections
 Chain fall, hoist, sling inspections
 Routes of “travel”
 Job supervisor of contractor will plan all mechanical lifts, including the use of ropes.
Equipment drawings need to be obtained to determine equipment weights.
Allowances may have to be added to the weights due to residual product, catalyst,
and/or caking if the equipment could not be adequately cleaned.
 Weights of platforms, piping, etc., that will remain on the equipment when it is being
dismantled must also be determined.
 Verify contractor employees involved in any form of rigging have been adequately
trained or perform on-site rigging training.
 Designate specific operators of freight elevators and provide training.
 All load-conveying equipment must be labeled with its capacity. Skilled and
qualified operators on all demolition equipment.
 Equipment operator training verified through review of training documentation.
Utilize mechanical equipment for lifting.
 Overhead hoisting equipment and supports left in the area must be inspected by
the job supervisor of the contractor.
 Only steel chains and slings shall be used for securing / supporting heavy loads
and use of Manila ropes, Fibers ropes in rigging activities shall be strictly prohibited
for heavy loads greater than 70 Kg.
Page 28 of 36
IPSS 1-11-031-17
 Limit manual material handling and lifting to a maximum of two persons; no manual
material handling or lifting with more than two individuals is allowed.
8. Staffing
 Contractor with safety knowledge, safety resources dedicated to the D&R project to
be utilized.
 Contractor is to utilize experienced operators, mechanics, and resident contractor

employees for decommissioning and decontamination.
 Contractor is to utilize experienced operators and mechanics.
 Contractor is to engage qualified electrical resource dedicated to follow electrical

D&R fieldwork.
 Contractor-provided safety supervisor to be assigned to continuously monitor

contractors with inexperienced workers regardless of size of workforce.
 Require contractor to submit proposed workforce makeup, i.e., experienced

workers vs. inexperienced workers, and worker to supervisor ratio.
9. Communications
Communicate safety expectations and requirements clearly and early in the bidding
process. Hold weekly / daily safety/schedule meeting between concerned department
and operating area personnel and D&R contractor project management and field
supervisors and safety supervisors.
10. Identification of Area with similar Hazards
Develop a plan that requires sampling of all homogenous areas for the presence of
hazardous materials such as asbestos, lead, etc.
11. Contract Bid Preparation
As a minimum, involve the following in the bid package preparation:
 Contractor safety representative
 Plant safety resource
 Operating area owner representative
 Plant environmental resource
 Contract administration
 Electrical resource
 Mechanical and rigging resource
Page 29 of 36
IPSS 1-11-031-17
D&R project team resources
As a minimum, include in the bid package the following:
 Well written, clear, and detailed scope of work
 All relevant safety procedures
 List of required submittals
 Waste disposal guidelines
 Lead, asbestos, and other hazardous coatings assessments
 Examples of relevant work, flame, etc. permits
 Barricading requirements
 Clear and concise worker training requirements
12. Contractor Selection

 Competent contractors having
 records of self initiative approach for safety measures.
 attitude & behavioral dedication towards safety.
 adequate mechanized resources.
 competent Engineers, Job supervisors, safety supervisors and other

competent staffs for various works related with demolition.

Page 30 of 36
IPSS 1-11-031-17
13. Miscellaneous
 The written Job Plan must detail that the work must be stopped, re-evaluated, and a
new plan developed if any condition changes. It must include the process to be
used and persons who must be involved in developing the new plan.
 Develop a project-specific disciplinary process that is focused on the contractor

supervision’s accountability for the actions of their workers rather than one that
focuses solely on the workers.
Use task-specific work and hot work permits.
D&R is truly “reverse construction.” The planning of the work must take this into
account. As an example, small piping, lighting, instruments, steam and trap manifolds,
etc. should be removed first around major pieces of equipment prior to their
dismantling.

3.3 Type of General Demolition

3.3.1 Manual Demolition
Manual demolition includes any technique where hand tools such as
jackhammers, sledgehammers and picks are used. Manual demolition has
many of the hazards that are present in other major demolition activities
including unexpected collapse, falls, falling objects, manual handling and
exposure to noise, dust and hazardous chemicals.
To manage the risk of unplanned collapses, the condition of roofs, walls and
floors of the building should be assessed by an experienced person before
commencing demolition work. Where concrete members are being
demolished manually, the reinforcement shall not be cut while breaking of the
concrete is in progress. Where pre-and post-tension demolition work is
undertaken, experienced person’s advice should be sought as to demolition
sequence. Areas where debris will fall should be barricaded off and signs
erected to prevent persons from entering before demolition starts.
3.3.2 Mechanical Demolition
Mechanical demolition involves the use of powered mobile plant, such as
excavators, cranes, loaders and bulldozers. There may be a mix of hand and
mechanical demolition methods applied.
All powered mobile plant used for demolition work must be fitted with a
suitable combination of operator protective devices. Operator protective
structures should be designed to the appropriate standard that eliminates or
minimizes the risk, so far as is reasonably practicable, of operator injury due
to:
i) roll over and consequent cabin impact damage
Page 7 of 39
ii) objects falling on or over the cabin

iii) objects penetrating the cabin
iv) Hazardous noise.
3.4 Sequence of Demolition Operations
3.4.1 Basics of sequence of demolition
Demolition is “Reverse construction”. This concept will help to form a general
guideline about sequence of demolition.
ROOF TOP
Design
Demolition
GROUND FLOOR
FOUNDATION / SUBSTRUCTURE
Demolition sequence shall be determined according to actual site conditions,

restraints, the building layout, the structural layout and its construction. In
general, the following sequence shall apply:
i) All cantilevered structures, canopies, verandas and features attached to
the external walls shall first be demolished prior to demolition of main
building and its internal structures on each floor.
a) be appropriately propped to provide support and prevent unintentional
collapse during demolition, or
b) Have a supporting scaffolding gantry installed to prevent unintentional
collapse during demolition.
ii) When demolishing the roof structure, all lift machine rooms and water
tanks at high level shall be demolished in “top down” sequence to the main
roof level.
iii) If site conditions permit, the first-floor slab directly above the ground floor
may be demolished by machine sitting on ground level and mounted with
demolition accessories.
3.4.2 Before demolition work is started, glazed sash, glazed doors and windows, all
fragile and loose fixtures shall be removed. All loose plaster shall be stripped
off throughout the entire building.
Page 8 of 39
3.4.3 All exterior wall openings, which extend down to floor level shall be barricaded
to height of not less than one meter above the floor level. This provision shall
not apply to a storey after structural demolition has been started for the
ground level floor.
3.4.4 All floor openings and shafts not used for material chutes shall be closed and
be enclosed with guard rails and toe boards.
3.4.5 The demolition shall always proceed systematically storey by storey in
descending order and the work on the upper floors shall be completely over
before any of the supporting members or other important portion on the lower
floor is disturbed (These requirements shall not prohibit the demolition of
structure in sections., if means are taken to prevent injuries to persons or
damage to property).Stability of the remaining part of structure must be
checked, before dismantling of any part is taken up.
3.5 Removal of Materials/ Debris
i) Debris shall not be allowed to be thrown from height. Remove all debris
promptly, using chutes or by using bags.
ii) Metal chutes may be provided for removal of materials. The chutes shall
preferably be provided as per site requirement for efficient disposal of debris.

shall be entirely enclosed on all the four sides, except for opening at or above
the floor level for receiving the materials.
iv) Opening for the chutes shall not exceed 1.2 m in height measured along the
wall of the chute and in all stories below the top floor such opening shall be
kept closed when not in use.
v) To prevent the descending material attaining a dangerous speed, chute shall
not be extended in an unbroken line for more than two stories. A gate or stop
shall be provided with suitable means for closing the bottom of each chute to
stop the flow of materials.
vi) Chutes at an angle of less than 45 degree with the horizontal may be left open
on the upper side provided that at the point where such a chute discharges
into a chute steeper than 45 degrees to the horizontal. The top of the steeper
chute shall be boarded over to prevent the escape of materials.
vii) Any opening into which workmen dump debris at the top of a chute shall be
guarded by substantial guard rail extending at least one meter above the level
of the floor or other surface on which men stand to dump the material into the
chute.
viii) A wooden toe board or bumper not less than 50 mm thick and 150 mm high
shall be provided at each chute opening, if the material is dumped from the
wheel barrows. Any space between the chute and the edge of the opening in
the floor through which it passes shall be solidly planked over.
3.6 Stairs, Passageways and Ladders

i) Stairs and stair railings, passageways and ladders shall be left in place as
long as possible.
Page 9 of 39

that they do not fall as single mass upon the floors of the building that are
being demolished, so as to exceed the safe carrying capacity of the floors.
ii) Overloading of floors shall be prevented by removing the accumulated debris
through chutes or by other means immediately.
iii) Walls shall be removed part by part. Stages shall be provided for the men to
work in, if the walls are very thin and dangerous to work by standing over
them.
iv) No section of wall whose height is more than 8 times of thickness shall be
permitted to stand without lateral bracing unless such wall is in good condition
and was originally designed to stand without such lateral bracing or support.
v) Structural or load supporting members on any floor shall not be cut or
removed until all the storeys above that floor have been demolished and
removed.
vi) In framed structures, the steel frame may be left in place during demolition of
masonry work. Where this is done, all steel beams, girders, etc. shall be
cleared off loose materials as the demolition of masonry work progresses
downward.
vii) Walkways shall be provided to enable workmen to reach or leave their work
on any scaffold or wall. Such walkways shall not be less than 0.75 m in width.
viii) At the completion of each day’s work, all installations shall be left stable to
avoid any danger of getting overturned.

underpinned or braced and the earth removed by sheet pilling or sheeting.
x) Non-load bearing walls shall be removed prior to demolition of load bearing
walls.
xi) Columns and load bearing walls shall be demolished after removal of beams
on top.
xii) Brick in-fill Wall - To avoid any potential hazard of bricks falling out of the
building, all the brick in-fill shall be removed by pushing inward, before
dismantling the reinforced concrete framing. Working platforms outside the
building shall be used for removal of the brick in-fill walls. Brick removal shall
Page 10 of 39
begin from the top layer downwards. The works shall be carried out layer by
layer with each layer not larger than 300 mm.
3.8 Demolition of Floors

i) In cutting holes in floor which spans in one direction, a slit of width not
exceeding 300 mm shall be cut at the first stage for the entire length of the
slab along which it spans. The opening shall thereafter be increased to the
desired width by suitable instalments.
ii) Planks of sufficient strength, not less than 50 mm thick and 250 mm wide,
shall be provided at spacing not greater than 0.4 m for the workmen to work.
The length of planks shall not be less than 2 m. These planks shall be so
placed as to give workmen firm support to guard against any unexpected floor
collapse.
iii) Stringers of ample strength shall be installed to support the planks where
necessary and the ends of such stringers shall be supported by floor beams,
girders and not by floor slab alone.
iv) When floors are being removed, no workman shall be allowed to work in the
area, directly underneath and such area shall be barricaded to prevent access
to it.
v) The demolition of floor shall be started only after the floor in question and the
surrounding.
vi) Floor area for 6 m has been entirely cleared of persons, and the debris and
other unnecessary materials removed.
vii) The reinforcement shall remain and be cut off after the concrete is broken
away.
viii) The two-way slab is supported by beams or structural members on all four
sides. Demolition of the slab shall begin in the middle of the slab and advance
towards the sides in all 4 directions.
ix) Flat slab shall begin at the centre of the bay between the supporting columns
and proceed outwards to the columns and/ or members that provide lateral
support of the slab. Care must be exercised not to prematurely weaken the
shear capacity of the columns or other supports. In general, when
demolishing a column strip or part of it, adequate supports shall be provided
to the strip in advance.
3.9 Demolition of Simple Precast Construction

The joints in this type of structure do not normally provide continuity. The
stability of this type of structure relies on other elements such as stairs, lift
shafts, shear walls or other framed structures.
i) Dismantling each precast element shall be removed in the reverse order of
construction and broken on the ground or an adequately supported floor.
ii) Elements providing lateral stability shall not be demolished prior to the
removal of the precast elements or prior to the installation of the temporary
Page 11 of 39
bracing. Temporary supports shall be adequately braced or tied to laterally

stable elements.
iii) Existing lifting points: The re-use of the existing lifting points or accessories to
lift the precast elements shall not be allowed unless the record of erection
plans showing the function of the existing lifting points are checked and
verified to be adequate for current use.
iv) Lateral support during lifting : Special consideration shall be given to long
span precast elements with narrow compression flanges during lifting.
Spreader beams shall be used to reduce the spacing of the lifting points.
3.10 Demolition of Fire Damaged Building
Fire reduces a structure's ability to act as a load platform for plant, people and
materials. As a result, great uncertainty exists concerning what might happen
when various actions are taken.
It is necessary that a thorough inspection is undertaken prior to demolition
commencing. The following should be looked for during the inspection:
i) Evaluate the fire temperature and locate areas where material strengths
appear reduced and deflections larger than normal.
ii) Look for shear failures of connections.
iii) Evaluate concrete strengths and identify areas of weakness.
iv) Look for cracked concrete members, even those remote from the fire.
v) Check if structural steel requiring compression flange restraint has lost that
restraint (purlins or floor joists, for example).
vi) With composite flooring, check for shear failure.
vii) Where loss of strength has occurred in beams, columns or their connections,
additional propping may be required to ensure stability.
viii) Before any work starts, ensure that internal areas are well ventilated, and be
aware that some debris may be toxic. Take particular care if the building has
been used to store chemicals.
3.11 Demolition of Structures

i) When a derrick is used, care shall be taken to see that the floor on which it is
supported is amply strong for the loading so imposed, if necessary heavy
planking shall be used to distribute the load to floor beams and girders.
ii) Overloading of equipment shall not be allowed.
iii) Tag lines shall be used on all materials being lowered or hoisted up and
standard signal system shall be used. The workmen shall be instructed on the
signals.
iv) No person shall be permitted to ride the load line.
v) No beams shall be cut until precautions have been taken to prevent it from
swinging freely and possibly striking any worker or equipment or any part of
the structure being demolished.
Page 12 of 39
vi) All structural steel members shall be lowered from the building and shall not
be allowed to drop.
3.12 Catch Platforms

i) In demolition of exterior wall of multi-storey structure, it is advisable to provide
catch platform of heavy planking to prevent injuries to the worker working
below and to the public, when the external walls are more than 20 m in height.
ii) Such catch platform shall be constructed and maintained not more than 3
storeys below the storey from which exterior walls are being demolished.
When demolition has progressed to within 3 stories of ground level, catch
platform will not be considered necessary.
iii) Catch platforms shall not be less than 1.5 m in width measured in a horizontal
direction from the face of the structure and shall consist of outriggers and
planks/ steel decks. These shall be laid tight together without openings
between them and the walls. Catch platform shall be provided with a
continuous solid parapet along its outer edge of at least 1 m height. The
parapet shall be constructed of the same specifications as the platform.
iv) Catch platforms can be constructed of material other than wood also,
provided such material is of equal strength.
v) Catch platform shall be capable of sustaining a live load of not less than 610
kg per square meter.
vi) The outriggers shall be of ample strength and shall not be spaced more than
3 m apart.
vii) Materials shall not be dumped on catch platform nor shall such catch platform
be used for the storage of materials.
3.13 Removal of Walls, Floor and Material with Equipment

i) Mechanical equipment shall not be used on floors or working surfaces unless
such floor or surfaces are of sufficient strength to support the imposed load.
ii) Floor openings shall have strong curbs to prevent equipment from falling over
the edge.
3.14 Removing AC Sheet Roofing

i) Before attempting the actual removal, a careful study should be made to find
out the strength of the asbestos sheet. In any case, workmen should not be
allowed to walk and stand on AC sheets.
ii) A firm ladder should be provided for workmen to climb to the roof.
iii) A cat ladder which can be kept on the sloping roof (supported from the ridge)
should be used for the workmen to stand and remove the sheets.
iv) Only experienced workmen should be engaged. They will never step on the
unsupported portion of the sheets.
v) Caution boards should be fixed at the ladders leading to the roof top,
DANGER: DO NOT GO ON THE ROOF TOP WITHOUT PERMISSION.
Page 13 of 39
3.15 Mechanical Demolition

i) When demolition is to be performed by mechanical devices, such as weight
ball and power shovels, the following additional precautions may be observed.
a) The building height should not exceed 25 m.
b) The area shall be barricaded for a minimum distance of 1.5 times the
height of the wall or the maximum available space, whichever is less. In
all cases, precaution is to be taken to prevent entry of people in the
barricaded area.
c) While the mechanical device is in operation, no workman shall be allowed
to enter the building being demolished.
d) The device shall be so located as to avoid falling debris.
e) The mechanical device when being used shall not cause any damage to
adjacent structure, power line, etc.
3.16 Recommendation for Demolition of Certain Special Types and Elements

of Structures
3.16.1 Roof Trusses

i) If a building has a pitched roof, the roof structure should be removed to wall
top level by hand methods. Sufficient purlin and bracing should be retained to
ensure stability of the remaining roof trusses while each individual truss is
removed progressively.
ii) Temporary bracing should be added, where necessary, to maintain stability.
The end frame opposite to the end where dismantling is commenced, or a
convenient intermediate frame should be independently and securely guyed in
both directions before work starts.
iii) On no account should the bottom tie of roof trusses be cut until the principal
rafters are prevented from making outward movement.
3.16.2 Heavy Floor Beams

i) Heavy blocks of timber and steel beams should be supported before cutting at
the extremities and should then be lowered to a safe working place.
3.16.3 Reinforced Concrete Beams

i) For beams, a supporting rope should be attached to the beam. Then the
concrete should be removed from both ends by pneumatic drill and the
reinforcement exposed. The reinforcement should then be cut in such a way
as to allow the beam to be lowered under control to the floor.
3.16.4 Reinforced Concrete Columns

i) For columns, the reinforcement should be exposed at the base after
restraining wire guy ropes have been placed round the member at the top.
The reinforcement should then be cut in such a way as to allow the column to
be pulled down to the floor under control.
Page 14 of 39
3.16.5 Reinforced Concrete Walls

i) Reinforced concrete walls should be cut into strips and demolished in the
same way as columns.
3.16.6 Suspended Floors and Roots
Before demolishing suspended floors and roofs, the type of construction
should be ascertained. In solid slabs, the direction of the main reinforcement
should be determined; the slab should then be cut into strips parallel to the
main reinforcement and demolished strip by strip. Where ribbed construction
has been used, the principle of design and method of construction should be
determined before demolition is commenced. Care should be taken not to cut
the ribs inadvertently.
3.16.7 Precast Reinforced Concrete

i) Precast reinforced concrete units used in a structure are normally held in
position by the strength of the joints made in-situ or on supporting walls, etc.
As such, before starting demolition, the joint structures and/ or the supporting
mechanisms shall be studied and understood.
ii) In devising and following the demolition sequences, due precaution shall be
taken to avoid toppling over of prefabricated units or any other part of the
structure and wherever necessary temporary supports shall be provided.
iii) Before commencing of the demolition work involving such structures advice of
an expert in such demolition shall be obtained and followed.
3.16.8 Storage Tank & Pipelines

i) Before an above ground or underground storage tank and/ or associated
pipelines are removed or demolished, any previous use should be determined
and appropriate action taken to identify and remove any hazardous
chemicals. Delivery lines and vent pipes should be purged. The tank should
be emptied and certified by a competent person as being free of gas,
flammable vapours or other hazardous chemicals.
ii) If work is to be undertaken on storage tanks then it is necessary to determine
whether they are a confined space for the purpose of the work.
3.16.9.1 General Precautions

During the demolition of tanks and pipelines, the following precautions should
be taken:
i) Make sure that no flammable or toxic substances or combustible liquid is
allowed to enter any drainage system or watercourse.
ii) If excavating underground tanks and/ or pipelines, check the soil surrounding
the tank/ pipe to establish that it is not contaminated, either by leakage from
the tank/ pipe or by spillage.
iii) Hot work (for example, welding; oxy-acetylene cutting) should not be
undertaken where there is a chance that flammable material may be present
as a result of leakage/ spillage or after cleaning out the tank/ pipe.
Page 15 of 39
3.16.9.2 Hazardous Facilities

i) Special precautions should be taken during the demolition of Major Hazard
Facilities (MHF), chemical works, gas works and similar establishments.
These types of facilities should be examined in conjunction with a competent
person (for example, a chemical engineer), in order to determine the nature of
any of the plant, chemical deposits and their influence on the method of
demolition or dismantling.
ii) The removal of flammable materials and their new locations should be
ascertained before any demolition work starts.
3.16.9.3 Containers that have held flammable or combustible material

i) Welding and cutting work on containers that have held flammable or
combustible liquids, solids, gases or dusts can result in fire or explosion if the
containers are not entirely free of these materials.
ii) It is therefore important to conduct a rigorous cleaning process and that any
instructions for cleaning are followed. Containers which have held any of the
following materials are considered unsafe and hot work should not be started
before they are properly cleaned:
a) Petrol, kerosene, solvents, or light oil, acids and alkaline, which can react
with metal to produce explosive or toxic gases heavy oils, tars or solids
which can release combustible gases when exposed to heat flammable
solids, whose finely divided particles may form an explosive dust cloud.
iii) Any container which has held flammable or combustible substances should
be considered unsafe until confirmed otherwise by a competent person.

3.17.2 Section – 1
Precautions to be taken before Dismantling of Steel Structurals
Before any dismantling job is taken up, the Contractor shall officially identify a
“Dismantling Leader” by a letter to Organisation authorities. The Dismantling
Leader must have adequate knowledge and experience of structural
dismantling and shall be responsible for safe dismantling work. Apart from
other safety precautions, he will take care of the points, mentioned below:
i) Ensure that the structural to be dismantled are not supporting any other
structures. In case, it is supporting, the other structures should be suitably
supported before dismantling work is taken up.
ii) All service lines like Oxygen, Nitrogen, Compressed air, CO gas, BF gas, LD
gas carrying lines supported on the structural intended to be dismantled,
should be re-routed. In case, it is decided that structural will be partially
dismantled to retain support of the service lines, adequate safety precautions
should be taken while dismantling, to avoid fire hazards and puncturing of
service lines.
iii) All electrical lines supported on structural intended to be dismantled, should
be disconnected from source of power, and dismantling should start only after
necessary clearance to that effect is obtained, in writing from concerned
Electrical Power/ Operation Department. Ensure Positive Isolation for the
entire building.
iv) The condition of structural intended to be dismantled shall be inspected for
corrosion, to ensure that it does not collapse while dismantling.
v) All tools and tackles used for dismantling should be in sound condition and
adequately strong. Lifting tools and tackles used should have test certificate,
issued by competent authority.
vi) Cranes, used for dismantling, should have necessary fitness certificate. The
driver shall also have necessary health and eye test certificate.
vii) If derrick is used in place of crane, it should be properly guyed for stability and
should have specified lifting capacity. In no case, the specified lifting capacity
should be exceeded.
viii) All persons engaged in dismantling work should be given safety training and
they should ensure use of safety appliances. If the dismantling is near any
gas line, then the workmen engaged should be given gas safety training.
ix) While working at height, full body harness should be used. While climbing up
or down, snatch ropes or fall arrestor should be used. A wire rope may be tied
at two rigid points to fasten the lifeline of full body harness, where other tying
members are not available.
x) All dismantled material should be lowered down on ground in controlled way.
xi) Job safety analysis should be done before dismantling.
xii) Dismantling sequence should be prepared before dismantling.
Page 18 of 39
3.17.3 Section – 2
General Sequence of Dismantling Structural Building
The sequence of dismantling should be such that the structure does not lose
its stability at any time.
i) Ensure that all precautions, as indicated in Section – 1, are taken.
ii) Remove all roof and side sheeting’s. Purlins should not be dismantled at this
stage, but side girts can be dismantled.
iii) If necessary, all purlins between monitor trusses can be removed and monitor
truss dismantled without damaging the roof truss.
iv) Start dismantling from gable end, and work towards any intermediate braced
bay. This braced bay is to be dismantled last.
v) Remove gable steel work except roof truss.
vi) Remove alternate purlins between end roof truss and adjacent truss.
vii) Hold the roof truss to be dismantled with crane or derrick and remove balance
purlins, rafter bracings, bottom chord bracings and struts, if any, between this
truss and adjacent truss.
viii) Gas cut the truss members along the face of column on both sides, and lower
the roof truss.
ix) Sequence vii to viii to be repeated for dismantling subsequent roof trusses.
x) While removing the last two trusses, both the trusses should be held with
crane before repeating sequence vii and viii.
xi) Dismantle gantry girder, surge platform, surge girder and outrigger girder
between end column intended to be dismantled and adjacent column.
xii) Remove longitudinal bracings and struts, if any, between end column and
adjacent column. Also remove any other structural or platform. Dismantle end
column.
xiii) Repeat sequence xi and xii for subsequent columns on both lines.
xiv) For multi storeyed building, dismantle all floor beams and floor plates except
the beams connecting the building column. These framing beams and parts of
columns shall be dismantled floor wise, starting from top, maintaining the
stability of structures at all time.
xv) For bin house, dismantle all bin plates except the girder or bin plates
connecting the building columns.
xvi) Dismantle longitudinal bracings, struts, floor beams, bin plates etc., between
end columns and adjacent columns on both rows. Also dismantle beam, bin
plates etc. across the building for end column.
xvii) Dismantle end columns. For long columns, columns can be dismantled in
pieces starting from top.
xviii) Repeat sequence xvi and xvii for subsequent columns on both sides.
Page 19 of 39
xix) Refer to sketch sheet no. 1 for identification of shed type building
components.
xx) If during dismantling, a situation is faced, where the remaining component to
be removed is likely to lose its stability due to removal of other connecting
members, the component must be stabilized with guy ropes.
Based on the above sequence of dismantling, for hazardous jobs, the
components like columns, bracings, girders etc. may be given identifying
marking at site to avoid wrong member cutting.
3.17.4 Section – 3
General Sequence of Dismantling Open Gantry
i) Ensure that all precautions, as indicated in Section – 1 are taken.
ii) Start dismantling from the end, where column bracing is not provided.
iii) Hold the top of end column/ A-frame using a crane/ derrick.
iv) Remove gantry girder, surge girder/ platform, outrigger girder and any other
structural between end column/ frame and adjoining column/ frame.
v) Dismantle end frame/ column.
vi) Repeat sequence iii to v for all other frames/ columns except for last two
braced columns/ frames.
vii) For last two braced columns/ frames, cut and remove all structurals except
bracing between the columns/ frames.
viii) Cut and remove top portion of bracing strut and diagonals along with top
portion of columns/ frames.
ix) Repeat sequence viii for next lower portion of bracings and columns/ frames,
till complete column/ frame is removed.
x) Refer to Sketch Sheet No. 3 for identification of structural parts of open
gantry.
3.17.5 Section – 4:
General Sequence of Dismantling Conveyor Gallery
i) Ensure that all precautions as indicated in Section – 1 are taken.
ii) Remove all mechanical parts like conveyor belt, idlers, deck plates, stringers
etc. before removing the gallery structural. Remove all cables, pipes and
cable trays.
iii) Remove all roof and side sheeting including purlins and side runners.
iv) Provide guy steel ropes on both sides of the trestles in the longitudinal
direction tied with firm structure/ foundation at base.
v) Hold the portion of conveyor gallery between two supports with crane/ derrick.
Depending on situation, slinging positions, crane position etc. must be

3.19 Attachment -2
Recommended Practice for Dismantling and Rearranging (D&R) facilities
The following practices are strongly recommended for all “large” D&R
projects. Sites electing not to adopt any of these practices must have an
alternative better practice that is at least equal to those not adopted.
1. Equipment Identification
i) Use different colour paints or stickers on equipment, piping, or electrical to be
removed to distinguish it from equipment, piping, or electrical to remain.
ii) Identify both what is to be removed and what is to remain.
iii) Use different colours to identify the presence of asbestos, lead, etc. and non-
hazardous coatings.
iv) Use unique colour paint, stickers, or tags to identify the exact location of
subsequent breaks being performed by the contractor personnel.
v) Signs or posters describing the identification method including examples of
the actual colours or tags must be posted in strategic locations throughout the
work area
vi) The integrity of the markings should be reviewed throughout the life of the
project.
2. Utilities diversion/ isolation

i) Executing Authority should perform isolation and all utility diversion activities.
As a best practice, the facilities should be completely isolated (de-energized,
drained, blanked out, etc.) before the work to begin.
ii) For diversion/ isolation of electrical utilities, prior approval/ permit shall be
taken from concerned Electrical Department or Electrical Maintenance Deptt.
iii) For diversion/ isolation of various gas/ steam pipe lines, prior approval/ permit
& clearance for dismantling of pipes shall be taken from concerned
department or from Fuel / Energy Management Department as applicable.
iv) For diversion/ isolation of underground sewer line, storm line and other
service water lines, prior approval/ permit shall be taken from Civil
Department/ Concerned Department.
3. Auditing
i) Conduct D&R focused audits separate from the site’s normal audit process.
ii) Participants on the audit must be trained to recognize unique D&R hazards
and be knowledgeable of the D&R job plan.
iii) Daily focused D&R audits to be conducted.
iv) Audit team shall comprise of at least a Safety Department, operating area
representative, and D&R contractor supervisor.
4. Electrical
Page 30 of 39
i) All persons performing demolition & rearranging of electrical conduit, cables

or conductors must be trained.

personnel not engaged in electrical demolition & rearranging.
iii) Identification and marking of circuits must be performed by personnel with
long-term site experience.
iv) Remove all fuses from motor control centres.
v) If lighting panels must remain active, determine how energized electrical
panels and circuits will be clearly identified and the location communicated to
the D&R contractor.
5. Building and Process Decontamination

i) De-inventory and flush all process vessels, storage tanks, receivers, pumps,
and piping systems of all residual chemicals.
ii) Written authorization from the consultants/ engineers is required before torch
cutting any vessels, tanks, or piping carrying flammable liquid or gas.
iii) Positive verification of removal of flammable liquid, gas, or residual materials
by purging before authorizing torch cutting.
iv) Remove gas from large fixed refrigeration units.
v) Open process equipment inspection ports/ nozzles for internal inspection.
vi) Open all low point equipment and piping systems drains and leave all valves
in open position.
vii) Open all jackets and coils and utility side of heat exchangers.
viii) Decontaminate any process equipment/ piping systems that are not “visually
clean”.
ix) Open, inspect and clean, if necessary, ventilation ductwork.
x) Clean building ditches, trenches and pumps.
6. Building Isolation
i) Define and identify any process and/ or service piping systems that must be
relocated to isolate the building.
ii) Define and identify any electrical services that must be relocated to isolate the
building.
iii) Use a service of person with long-term site-specific experience to physically
break all electrical, utility, and process piping. Ensure Positive Isolation of the
equipment/ system from electrical source or any other energy source.
7. Rigging, Mechanical and Manual Lifting

i) Treat all rigging and mechanical lifting jobs as “critical” lifts.
ii) Rigging plan review includes the following:
a. Contractor rigging training.
Page 31 of 39
b. Crane operator certification.

c. Crane certification and inspections.
d. Chain fall, hoist, sling inspections.
e. Routes of “travel”.
iii) Job supervisor of contractor will plan all mechanical lifts, including the use of
ropes. Equipment drawings need to be obtained to determine equipment
weights. Allowances may have to be added to the weights due to residual
product, catalyst, and/ or caking if the equipment could not be adequately
cleaned.
iv) Weights of platforms, piping, etc., that will remain on the equipment when it is
being dismantled must also be determined.
v) Verify contractor employees involved in any form of rigging have been
adequately trained or perform on-site rigging training.
vi) Designate specific operators of freight elevators and provide training.
vii) All load-conveying equipment must be labelled with its capacity. Skilled and
qualified operators on all demolition equipment.
viii) Equipment operator training to be verified through review of training
documentation.
ix) Overhead hoisting equipment and supports left in the area must be inspected
by the job supervisor of the contractor.
x) Only steel chains and slings shall be used for securing/ supporting heavy
loads and use of Manila ropes, Fibres ropes in rigging activities shall be
strictly prohibited for heavy loads greater than 70 Kg.
xi) Limit manual material handling and lifting to a maximum of two persons; no
manual material handling or lifting with more than two individuals is allowed.
