DEMOLITION
Demolition is the act of tearing down a structure and/or building either completely or partially using controlled methods. This can mean going into a structure and stripping it down internally for a full remodel, an external demolition where they demolish the exterior to remodel, or a full demolition where they tear down everything. Within each of these, there are different methods and types used that vary based on the job and the structure. Each of these processes involves the same steps normally and takes adequate planning. It’s not a simple procedure where a team comes in and demolishes a site.
EXCAVATION
The word excavation isn’t heard very often as it’s normally thought of when thinking about archaeology. The definition of the word is a controlled exploration of buried remains. This can mean finding old archaeological sites and wonders, things we see in museums. That’s why it’s often related to that field, but excavation is used in many different fields such as construction and mining. Many different companies offer demolition and excavation for that reason, yet many people don’t know how they relate to one another.
