How Technology is Transforming Construction and Demolition

Technology has made the process of C&D easy, where materials can be separated like metals, composites, plastic, and concrete.

FREMONT, CA: Increasing economic activities and going disposable income is boosting the construction industries. Construction activities is witnessing a significant surge in the developing economies, whereas reconstruction activities are gaining momentum in the developed parts of the world. However, the major challenge faced by most of the construction companies is the strengthening of government regulations on environment-friendly constructions. This is increasing the popularity of reusing construction materials.

Reusing of construction materials not only reduces the cost of construction but also helps in green building. For reusing construction materials, sorting of construction and demolition materials is very important. Traditionally sorting of construction and demolition sites was done by engaging labor. However, this process is not only time consuming but also capital extensive. With the advancement of technology, most of the construction companies are using ballistic shredders to dismantle the construction materials and segregate the different materials such as plastic, metals, composites, and concrete.
