This study presents a comprehensive analysis of existing organizational and technological solutions employed in the demolition of high-rise buildings in dense urban environments. The relevance of the research is driven by the shortage of available land in large settlements, the necessity to minimize the environmental and structural impact of construction processes, and the goal of reducing the construction cycle.
Based on a case study involving the demolition of a 16-story precast concrete building, the work examines the main demolition methods: mechanized, manual, and combined. Drawing on existing regulatory and technical documentation, scientific publications, and practical experience, the study highlights the possibility of optimizing technological processes through the parallel execution of various work stages.
The article assesses the rationality of this approach, aimed at reducing the overall construction timeline.
