Demolition and excavation at a construction site, for example, can affect the walls and foundations of adjacent buildings if proper safeguards and procedures are not followed. Roof decks can be damaged by the added loads of recreational use on roofs not designed for such purposes. And sidewalk vaults, exposed to rain, ice, and salt, are vulnerable to water damage and long-term deterioration, which can lead to instability in structural members and the sidewalk above it.
