Industrial Strip-Out | Lake Orion, Michigan
NADC completed approximately 1 million square feet of demolition and strip-out work at a 4.3-million-square-foot automotive manufacturing facility in Lake Orion, Michigan.
The project included approximately 760,000 square feet of Paint Shop and Paint Mix strip-out, along with removal of exterior buildings, underground structures, process equipment and a 150-foot exhaust stack. Work was completed in coordination with the general contractor, environmental contractors and disposal partners while maintaining a strong focus on safety, sequencing and material recovery.
Approximately 760,000 square feet of Paint Shop and Paint Mix strip-out, combined with demolition of exterior buildings, basements, underground structures, process equipment and a 150-foot exhaust stack.
Large active automotive manufacturing campus, extensive interior and exterior demolition, environmental coordination, hazardous-material abatement and protection of designated structures and access points.
The project involved a large and varied demolition scope spread throughout an existing automotive manufacturing facility. NADC was responsible for approximately 70 structures and nearly 1 million square feet of work, including extensive strip-out within the Paint Shop and Paint Mix areas as well as removal of several exterior and below-grade structures.
The interior scope required removal of equipment, tanks, piping, concrete curbs and slabs, CMU walls, modular offices and other facility components. Exterior work included demolition of the Fan Farm and basement, Sludge Building and pit, Quonset Hut, additional process structures and a 150-foot exhaust stack.
The project also required coordination of hazardous-material abatement, third-party air monitoring, utility decommissioning, environmental activities, waste transportation and the creation and restoration of demolition access points.
NADC developed a phased approach that coordinated interior strip-out, structural demolition, equipment removal and environmental activities across the facility.
Paint Shop and Paint Mix components were systematically dismantled and removed while designated materials and portions of the existing facility were protected. Salvaged wall panels and guardrails were reused to secure openings, while scrap materials were separated and retained as required by the project.
NADC also coordinated flushing and cleaning activities, waste containerization and transportation, asbestos-containing material disposal, overhead truss-space work, trestle piping demolition, additional ASH unit removal and concrete demolition within the existing Paint Shop.
Weekly Toolbox Talks, daily safety observations and periodic audits supported the project’s safety program. The demolition of 60 ASH units, the Sludge Building and pit, Fan Farm and basement, and the 150-foot exhaust stack was completed with zero incidents.
