Construction and demolition can have varying levels of implementation, and because of this, the tools used in the various techniques vary widely. If you are looking to drill through, break or crack rock, some very sophisticated instruments will be involved, since it is a very big job that can't simply be done with your tools or machinery at home.

A number of demolition agents come to mind when looking to break apart rock or reinforced concrete. However the majority of them are explosives or other kinds of dangerous materials. Particular care is needed when handling any types of explosive materials to demolish rock.

The explosion itself can cause injury, or even death, if not controlled by a knowedgable individual or team who are trained in the appropriate techniques. What's more, these techniques can cause flyrock which can be dangerous, as well as noise, gas, ground vibrration and dust. These all contribute to environmental pollution and are a large safety risk, to both the people involved and the environment.

In direct contrast to these explosive techniques, there are now much safe and environmentally friendly ways to demolish concrete and rocks. Bristar is a non explosive demolition agent which does not cause any flyrock. It is also silent meaning the noise reduction during these big projects is 100% and does not cause any environmental pollution such as gas or dust. This is great as we move forward to becoming a greener planet.

What's equally as important, when trying to demolish reinforced concrete or rock in a confined tight space, explosives may not be the answer since they could do damage to other items in close proximity. Bristar works by being mixed with an appropriate amount of water then poured into cylindrical holes which are drilled into the rock or concrete you wish to demolish. The liquid then harders and expands, cracking the object systematically. After it has cracked you can easily remove it using a pick hammer or excavator.

The expansive stress technique that Bristar uses to demolish objects makes it suitable for a variety of purposes. Most obviously it can be used for splitting boulders and slabbing. But it can also be great for excavating rock wall or bedrock which is important in road expansion, residential development and other types of construction work.

It can also be used in trenching, shaft sinking and excavaton for making tunnels. Concrete piers can be demolished with ease, similarly retaining walls, pillars and beams. All of these are done in an environmentally friendly way with very high safety levels. For those carrying out a large demolition job involving concrete or rocks, then implementing these techniques is definitely worth considering.
