The World Demolition Awards Judging Panel Revealed

As you all know, running alongside the World Demolition Summit is the World Demolition Awards. And those awards need judges, of which there are eight. KHL has a nice expose piece revealing a little detail about who those eight people are from industry this year. They include:

• Henrik Bonnesen, Cowi, Denmark
• Dan Costello, Costello Dismantling Company, USA
• Clinton Dick, Liberty Industrial, Australia
• Patrick Frye, Cardem, France
• Jim Graham, Winter Environmental, USA
• Bill Moore, ERM, USA
• William Sinclair, Safedem, United Kingdom
• John Woodward, C&D Consultancy, United Kingdom

Head on over to the KHL website to learn a little more about seven of those judges. I say seven, as if you're visiting this site then you already know quite a bit about that eight judge!

World Demolition Awards Judges: Bill Moore

The World Demolition Summit and Awards this year kicks off on November 2nd in London. And for those awards there needs to be judges. DRi decided to do a mini-profile for each judge, so we thought we'd mirror that practice starting with Bill Moore.

Many of you may know Bill from his 25 years as a marketing rep (among other things) at Brandenburg Industrial Service Co., but more recently he's been at Environmental Resources Management (ERM). As for his youth, he counts a Bachelor of Science (BS) in Environmental Safety and Safety Management to his name, attained while studying at Indiana State University.

Speaking with DRi, Bill commented:

"We are looking for new and innovative techniques. For example, Ferrari of France using hydraulic jacks to push walls out to collapse buildings without explosives, and Priestly Demolition’s job where it rolled a huge bridge onto the river bank to cut it up. And of course Despe’s Top Down method of enclosing the floors undergoing demolition.

There have been some serious accidents in the past couple of years in our industry so we also have to encourage all attendees at the WDS 2017 to follow best practice for the good of our industry."
