Dallas Contracting Co. Completes Job

Dallas Contracting Co. recently completed the demolition of a five-acre industrial site in New Jersey.

The site was formerly used for manufacturing, and was composed of 5 buildings and other miscellaneous structures. The buildings to be demolished were 1 to 2 stories in height and the total footprint was over 50,000 square feet. The building construction was a mix of steel frame and wood frame, brick and block walls and wood roofing with asphalt shingles.

Dallas Contracting’s scope included demolition of all buildings and structures including foundations, removal of all debris and metals, asbestos abatement and onsite sizing and crushing of concrete, masonry and brick for future utilization as backfill. The site will be eventually redeveloped for residential use.

Following demolition of the buildings including the slabs and foundations, the concrete, block and brick materials needed to be crushed to 2 inch minus for use as onsite backfill. The sized materials were then fed into the company’s concrete crushing plant.

The project was completed in five weeks without incident or injury.
