Automotive Strip-Out | Detroit-Hamtramck, Michigan
Floor-to-Roof Paint Shop Strip-Out
NADC completed an extensive strip-out within an automotive paint shop, removing process equipment, piping, electrical systems, structural components and concrete.
The work created space for facility improvements while preserving roof drains, fiber-optic lines and other infrastructure that needed to remain in place.

The Challenge
The paint shop contained a dense combination of equipment, utilities, structural components and concrete that had to be removed within a 12-week schedule.
Approximately 150 rooftop structures—including ash houses, motors, stacks and vents—required removal using a 900-ton crane. NADC also needed to protect roof drains and fiber-optic lines while coordinating with multiple contractors and maintaining safe access around open trenches and floor openings.
NADC’s Approach
NADC sequenced the strip-out from the main floor through the roof, removing equipment, piping and electrical systems before completing structural and concrete demolition.
The team created space for a new roof installation, removed wet-deck concrete and dismantled the overhead carrier system. The project was completed on schedule with approximately 32,000 work hours, zero safety incidents and no project-related COVID-19 illnesses.
