Hotel D'eau Hospital demolition

Hotel D’eau Hospital

The demolition of the main hospital building, a six-story reinforced concrete structure encompassing nearly 240,000 SF, was demolished using a fleet of demolition equipped excavators, led by our 70’ and 90’ high reach excavators. All of the C&D waste was disposed of, and once the foundations and footings were removed, the concrete was crushed and recycled off-site.

Scott Park High School

The school building was a large 6 story high, steel and block structure. The entire steel structure had been sprayed with an asbestos containing fireproofing when it was built. Prior to any other work taking place, this friable material had to be removed following Type 3 removal procedures.
