The Challenge
Several structures required different demolition methods based on their construction and the portions designated to remain.
NADC removed a 15-story concrete building, dismantled sections of an eight-story steel building and removed the upper three floors of a nine-story structure without damaging the floors below. Additional work included dismantling a four-story boiler and a six-story baghouse while the adjoining boiler house remained operational.
NADC’s Approach
NADC coordinated demolition, environmental abatement, engineering and reconstruction under one integrated project plan.
High-reach excavators, crane-and-ball demolition, sectional dismantling and floor-by-floor removal were used according to each structure’s conditions. After demolition, NADC rerouted utilities, installed new building façades and roofs, enclosed retained structures and completed landscaping, lighting and site restoration.
