Section 98 of 103
97. Disassembly, Deconstruction and Removal
Stable section ID: S05-CON-015-SECTION-98 · 16 content blocks
Disassembly is the controlled separation of an Assembly into Components or subassemblies while seeking to preserve identity, condition, and future usability.
Deconstruction is the planned dismantling of a Building or Built Asset to maximize safe recovery, reuse, requalification, recycling, and knowledge preservation.
- Removal is the detachment and withdrawal of an entity from its installed position or operational context.
- Removal may occur without complete Disassembly, and Disassembly may form part of Deconstruction.
These activities shall account for:
current and residual load paths;
temporary stability and support;
stored energy and hazardous materials;
human and robotic access;
authorized release mechanisms;
sequence dependencies;
Component identity and condition;
protection during handling and storage;
- digital state and configuration updates.
- The installation sequence shall not automatically be assumed to be a safe reverse-disassembly sequence.
A removed Component shall not be treated as reusable until its identity, condition, configuration, and requalification requirements have been evaluated.
