Dismantlement and Wood Salvage Project
Dallas Contracting completed the dismantlement of a three story masonry/brick and wood frame building located in East Newark, New Jersey.
The tanks had been pre-cleaned by the owner and all asbestos containing materials had also been abated.
Initially, laborers cold cut the steel piping and conduits connected to the tanks.
Once these connections were severed, the storage tanks were then removed by hoisting them from the containment area with one of Dallas Contracting's hydraulic cranes.
The steel tanks were lifted directly from the diked area onto awaiting Dallas Contracting owned trucks (lowboys and flatbeds).
From the site, the steel tanks were then sent directly to the scrap recycling facility.
Once all tanks were removed from the diked area, the remaining piping and valves were demolished and the steel also sent to the scrap recycling yard.
The project was completed in approximately two weeks with no incidents or injuries.
