Скачать или смотреть Sustainable Saint Paul - Deconstruction

Deconstruction, as opposed to traditional demolition, involves the careful dismantling of residential and commercial buildings with the goal of recycling or preserving reusable materials, typically resulting in a waste diversion rate considerably higher than the typical 70 percent. The pilot began with training workshops for city staff by Dave Bennink, deconstruction expert and RE-USE Consulting owner. City staff then worked with The NetWork for Better Futures to train laborers to disassemble a building in the correct sequence and handle, organize and prepare materials for resale or recycling. Four properties including two from the City of Saint Paul, one from Macalester College and one from Project for Pride in Living are being deconstructed as part of the pilot.
