Seeing the Road Ahead: Protecting, Repairing and Replacing Windscreens

A chipped windscreen does more than just mar the view. Chips lead to cracks, which reduce visibility and could cause accidents. As a volunteer in a busy emergency room for years, I saw a lot of traffic accident victims, and an appalling number of them were in accidents that were linked to windscreen cracks. For years, I wondered what more I could do to help, and I finally realised that I simply needed to get the word out. This blog is my way of getting the word out. It is dedicated to the victims who weren't lucky enough to hear about the risks of cracked glass. It focuses on protecting your vehicle's glass, repairing it when problems arise and understanding when you should replace it. I hope that the information here informs you and helps to keep you and yours safe.

Computer Simulated Demolitions: What They Are & How They Can Help

Demolitions are complex, high-stake activities no matter the size of the structure being brought down. To help ease the complexities involved in the process, engineers and computer programmers have developed various tools for use by demolition contractors. One such tool is the 3D demolition simulator. Your demolition contractor may have this software which enables them to plan computer simulated demolitions. Find out more below. 

What is a computer simulated demolition?

A computer simulated demolition is a demolition process that has been pre-planned through the use of 3D demolition simulation software. The demolition contractor and the engineers involved use the software to run different demolition scenarios before carrying out the actual demolition on your property. In the end, they are able to plan a perfectly-executed computer simulated demolition thanks to the software.  

How it works

First, the demolition contractor and their team programme a 3D design of your property on the computer software. Once done, they study the weaknesses and the different structural risks on the property. Then, they run different demolition ideas on the computer software. The software allows them to study how each of these demolition plans would affect the demolition in light of the different structural risks present. Once the team has run the different scenarios, they are able to pick the best one before executing it in real life.

Benefits of a computer simulated demolition

A computer simulated demolition has numerous benefits for all involved parties:

  • The demolition team is able to run different demolition simulation trials before picking the safest and most effective one.
  • The demolition team is able to envision the demolition and plan for it before it happens. This reduces risk and chances of unforeseen scenarios taking place.
  • The demolition contractor is able to choose the least costly demolition plan.
  • You as the client are able to see exactly how the demolition will take place. This allows you to expect the outcome and to pitch in suggestions during the planning process.

Applications

Computer simulated demolitions take time, skill and money to plan and prepare. As such, they are mostly carried out only where the demolition is complex in nature. This refers to:

  • Large properties, e.g. high-rise buildings or industrial parks
  • Complex build designs with complicated structural plans
  • Risky demolitions where there are adjacent buildings or where the property is located in an urban setting.  

If you are planning to seek demolition services and your property fits the above applications, hiring a contractor who offers computer simulated demolitions could help make the end process safer, quicker, and even cheaper.
