bontást

Bontás refers to the process of dismantling or demolishing buildings, structures, or equipment, and to the resulting debris. It is used in contexts ranging from construction and redevelopment to safety and hazard remediation. The term bontás comes from the verb bontani, meaning to break apart, and bontást is the accusative singular form used when the act is the object of a sentence.

Types of bontás commonly distinguished are teljes bontás (complete demolition), részleges bontás (partial demolition), and kiválózott/bontás (selective demolition), where only certain components are removed for recycling or reuse. Bontás can also be categorized by method: mechanikus bontás uses equipment such as excavators, wrecking balls, or shears to physically dismantle structures, while robbanásos bontás (implosion or controlled blasting) employs explosives for large or tall structures under strict safety control. Interior or infill bontás refers to removing internal elements without fully collapsing the exterior shell.

Planning and safety are central to bontás. Before work begins, sites are assessed for structural stability, utilities are disconnected, and permits are secured according to local regulations. Hazardous materials (for example asbestos or lead paint) are identified and safely removed. Waste management emphasizes sorting and recycling of concrete, metal, wood, and bricks to reduce landfill use. Noise, dust, vibration, and nearby structures are mitigated through planning and protective measures.

Regulatory frameworks governing bontás vary by jurisdiction but generally require professional oversight, safety planning, environmental compliance, and adherence to building and demolition codes. Properly conducted bontás can create space for new development while recovering materials and minimizing environmental impact.
