Building and Construction: Rhyndarra Hospital Demolition Report

This report details a simulated demolition project for the Rhyndarra Hospital in Brisbane, Australia, adhering to Australian demolition standards. The project includes a comprehensive demolition work plan, hazardous substances management plan, and public protection measures. The report covers site-specific methods to maintain structural stability, waste management processes to reduce environmental impacts, and compliance with local authorities for traffic management. It also addresses site induction processes, risk analysis, and OHS compliance to protect workers. The report provides detailed forms, photographic surveys, and outlines various demolition activities, emphasizing safety and environmental considerations throughout the demolition process.

Introduction
The demolition of a structure is a process whereby an existing structure is
purposefully destroyed in order to generate a diversity of fragments and components of
mixed materials. The demolition process takes the shape of a lifecycle, in which it undergoes
various stages of planning, design, construction, as well as maintenance. Since the past times,
various buildings have been demolished, which is still a functionally and structurally
accepted activity. Nonetheless, in recent times, there have been concerns on demolitions
relating to waste disposal from the demolition process as well as the environmental pressures
arising from the demolition (Allen & Iano, 2013). This has thus resulted in the determination
of the importance of demolition, which focuses on the failures and disasters from lack of
knowledge and awareness on the effective process of demolition.
An instance is demolition of a structure having hazardous chemicals to human health
as well as the environment. Hence, land creation is some significant issue which the
community should avoid as it results in serious environmental issues. An instance is the
demolition of royal Canberra hospital in 1997, which resulted in the death of a young girl and
nine other people hospitalized following a hit by debris (Banias et al., 2013).
In this research, we seek to offer a safe way of the demolition of a hospital, two-story
building located in Australia. The Rhyndara hospital will just act as a case study for the
simulated coordination & management demolition. Nonetheless, the demolition is bound to
adopt the Australian standards for safe demolition of structures.
Project site: Rhyndarra
Our case study will be the demolition of a Rhyndarra hospital, located in the city of Brisbane,
Australia. The building was constructed in 1888 to 1938, and it is known for being the second
women’s hospitals for the Australian military forces. The building is a two-story building and
originally functioned as a Salvation Army girl’s industrial school.

We will consider providing simulated coordination & management for the large hospital, by
adopting the Australian demolition standards, AS2601; demolition of a structure. The
diagram below illustrates the building

Terms of reference
In response to your request, we have taken the initiative to generate a report of the
Rhyndarra hospital, located in the city of Brisbane, Australia. In particular, this document
will document the general condition of the structures presented within the facility as well as
the buildings adjacent to it. Further, it should be noted that the construction dilapidation
report of 16th august 1988 by Anjana consultancies has been used as a reference point. Since
we are neither structural engineers, we have not provided the condition of the building in
Jregrds to its structural stability.
Important information
 Nothing contained in this condition report shows that parts which were not assessed at
the date of inspection are free from defects
 No responsibility is taken off by the authors of the report for the defects realized
 No responsibility shall be taken by the authors of the generate for the areas which
were not physically accessible by the surveyors
 Our company is not entitled to make any additions or alterations after the inspection
of the site, implying that the liability does not extend to any addition, alteration nor
extension after the site inspection
 The report is strictly made for the client on the front page of this page, and no
publication or distribution should be made to any other party without the agreement of
the Janjaga limited company.
Reasonable access

BUILDING AND CONSTRUCTION 7
The inspection was done strictly to areas which were accessible. As per the Australian
standards AS4349.1, reasonable access is defined as areas which are unobstructed, safe,
characterized with minimal clearances, areas absent of clearances, as well as areas within the
arm’s length. It actually does not entail removal of bolts and screws to assess the covers.''
Roof interior: access opening = 600 * 600 mm, height accessible from 3.5m step
ladder, or 4.5 m ladder when placed against the wall, crawl space = 800 * 800mm
Subfloor: access opening = 700 * 500mm, other obstruction (concrete) = 700mm,
crawl space (timber floor) = 600mm to the joist
Roof exterior: accessible either 2.1m step ladder or 3.6 m ladder

Hazardous substances management plan
In order to avoid environmental liability, hazardous materials need to be properly
disposed of. Proper hazardous managements includes disposal, identification as well as
accumulation. The contractor undertaking the demolition work is tasked with identification as
well as the accumulations procedures. However, all the disposal shall be in accordance with
environmental health and safety (Seear & Fraser, 2014).
 Billing
Arrangement pertaining to the waste collection should be made by the contractor and the n
delivered to the waste management facility. The chemical waste pickup request form shall
guide the location of the building. Depending on the terms of the contract, the disposal of the
materials in the construction debris shall be disposed of by the contractor
 Training
All the contractors who will accumulate and handle the hazardous materials will document
that their staff underwent appropriate training to handle the chemicals wastes.
Hazardous substances in the hospital Asbestos
A licensed asbestos consultant shall assist in conducting an asbestos survey of the site before
the demolition process. A copy of the site survey shall be reviewed by certified EPA asbestos
inspectors via training provider (Coelho & Brito, 2012). Lead paint

BUILDING AND CONSTRUCTION 10
The materials which have been identified as being characterized with lead paint shall be
classified to know whether they are hazardous to waste disposal restrictions. The contractor
shall provide the lead survey information with the appropriate training as per the OSHA
(Bailey, 2016). Pcb Caulking
The buildings shall be tested of polychlorinated biphenyls presence, and in case the
concentration of calking shall be more than or equal to 50 ppm, it shall be disposed of as
hazardous waste. Lamp ballasts
The ballasts have to be collected for disposal, and they shall be obtained by the EHS
hazardous materials management. During the process of accumulation, the barrels have to be
labeled and closed. Segregation of shall be done of the PCB and non PCB ballasts. Lamps and hid light bulbs
The handling of the bulbs shall be conducted in accordance by the EH & S, AND Those
containing mercury clearly labeled with specific phrases. Mercury switches
Most equipment contains mercury, and before they are disposed of, they should be collected
together to avoid any spillage of mercury. The devices in which they are collected should be
thoroughly sealed (Coelho & Brito, 2012). Batteries
The EH & S shall guide the handling of all the storage batteries which has hazardous metals
such as lead, mercury, cadmium, and silver. Specific phrases shall be used to label the
batteries during the process of accumulation. To prevent fires from occurring, bagging of the
small batteries shall be conducted. Chemicals
