Dismantling the fence

Demolition of a fence is a process that requires a balanced approach, the correct use of tools and compliance with safety measures. Depending on the complexity of the work and the type of object itself, the owner can cope with this process himself or seek help from professional workers. The construction company LLC "RBK ALBA" is ready to provide a service of this plan, offering to order it in a turnkey format at the optimal cost.

The main reasons for dismantling fences in Kyiv

Removal of a fence may be necessary for a number of different reasons:

• the structure has ceased to perform its functions efficiently, having lost its integrity;
• the owner is not satisfied with the protective characteristics of the fence;
• the temporary structure needs to be replaced with a permanent one;
• the presence of a court decision to move the fence to another place in the yard of the house, cottage, warehouse, enterprise, etc.;
• changing the boundaries of the plot that the fence encloses;
• reconstruction;
• the desire to install a new fence with modern technologies.

Even before starting such work, it is worth paying attention to several important factors that determine the price of dismantling the fence.

It is extremely important to measure the distance from the fence to other real estate objects in order to avoid damage to them. The possibility of access roads for special equipment and the presence of nearby green spaces are taken into account.

Key steps in dismantling a fence

The work of demolishing the fence requires a step-by-step approach and precise calculations. The main feature is the disassembly of the structure from top to bottom to prevent collapse in the process. The main algorithm of actions is as follows:

• Preparation for dismantling. The perimeter of the site is cleared of debris and vegetation, the lighting is turned off, and the stability of the elements is checked.
• Removal of the canvas, gate, wicket. The material from which the fence is made is removed. Work begins with the upper segment of the structure.
• Disassembly of the frame part. The transverse lags to which the canvas is fixed are cut off with a grinder or unscrewed with a screwdriver.
• Removal of supports. The pillars are removed from the metal holders by loosening. Concreted elements can be cut off or dug out.

The final stage is the removal of the remains of the old foundation, if any. Construction waste and garbage are sorted, packed in strong bags, and taken to a special landfill for disposal.

Features of dismantling a fence made of different types of material

The specifics of installation work related to the fence depend on the type of material used for its construction. Most often, customers order the service of dismantling metal, wooden, concrete, brick, reinforced concrete fences:

Profile boards
If it is necessary to save the profiled board, the craftsmen carefully unscrew the self-tapping screws with the subsequent cutting of the lags using a grinder. Removing the support posts can be done in three ways:

• digging the base, loosening and removing the metal profile - suitable for the so-called "light" posts;
• cutting at ground level with subsequent sprinkling with soil - for posts with a columnar foundation;
• breaking and dismantling the concrete base manually - for a strip or other concrete foundation.

Chain link fence

At the initial stage, the mesh is untied from the supports and rolled up into a roll - it can be reused later. Then all fasteners are removed from top to bottom. After that, the pillars are removed by digging with a shovel. If there is a concrete base, the supports are cut off, and the foundation itself is broken.

Concrete fences

Dismantling work in this case involves a complex process, which is best carried out using special equipment. It is practically impossible to dismantle the slabs manually due to the large weight of the sections - up to 70-90 kg. Most often, a truck crane is used to lift the slabs and a manipulator for removal. The attachment points to the support pillars must be cut with a grinder with diamond discs. The pillars are dismantled using the same methods described above.
