Dallas Contracting Co., Inc. Completes Equipment Salvage and
Demolition Project
South Plainfield, New Jersey, October 2005 - Dallas Contracting
Co., Inc., (website: http://www.dallascontracting.com) a
specialized contractor providing demolition, onsite concrete
aggregate crushing, equipment salvage and scrap metal recycling
to various industries, recently completed the salvage of used
equipment and demolition of several structures from a former
insulation manufacturing company in New Jersey.
Dallas Contracting Co., Inc. (Dallas Contracting) was contracted
to perform both interior and exterior demolition services as
well as salvaging used equipment. The inside of the first floor
of the building required interior demolition of all equipment,
piping, electrical conduits and a complete gut-out of the boiler
room. The outside wrecking work consisted of removing several
storage tanks, a silo and dust handling equipment and associated
ductwork.
The interior demolition work began by first removing all piping,
catwalks, duct work and electrical conduit. This was
accomplished by laborers with sawsalls on scissor lifts. A skid
steer was also used to help load out the scrap steel and debris.
Demolition in the boiler room consisted of removing the old
boiler, several compressors and all conduit and piping. This
work was accomplished using laborers utilizing torches on a
scissor lift while a skid steer loaded and removed the materials.
The removal of the above items was done first to make it easier
to rig out the salvageable equipment from the building.
Equipment that was saved consisted of eight (8) 500-gallon
reactors that were previously used by the manufacturer to make
foam. Ancillary pumps and motors were also salvaged. The
reactors were carefully rigged out of the facility and placed on
trucks to be inventoried for sale. Dallas Contracting was able
to offset some of the cost of the project to the client through
the sale of this used equipment.
Exterior demolition work consisted of removing five (5) storage
tanks, one (1) silo, a pre-fabricated steel canopy and dust
handling equipment and ductwork. The dust handling equipment and
ductwork was demolished using a Komatsu PC 220 excavator with a
grapple attachment. Laborers with sawsalls on a high reach were
also utilized to facilitate the demolition work. Two of the
outside tanks were not salvageable and were demolished due to
their age and loss of structural integrity. The outside steel
canopy was also demolished using the Komatsu PC 220 excavator
with grapple attachment. However, the 32-foot silo and two
12,000-gallon stainless steel tanks were salvaged for sale as
used equipment. The silo was dismantled into several pieces, for
ease of transport, using a crane and high reach. The salvage of
this equipment was also used to offset some of the cost of the
demolition work to the client.
The work was completed in two (2) weeks without incident or
injury.
