Instead of demolishing the one large barn, Dallas Contracting dismantled and salvaged the wood beams and members, which was profitable and helped conserve landfill space, according to a press release from the company. The wood beams and salvaged timbers were sold as architectural and wood salvaged materials.
To accomplish the demolition of the buildings, the company used several pieces of heavy equipment, including a Komatsu PC 300 with a grapple and a concrete pulverizer, a rubber tired wheel loader with a 5-cubic-yard-bucket and a Cat 236 skid steer loader.
Demolished concrete was placed in a nearby stockpile for crushing. Concrete was crushed using a Komatsu PC220LC excavator with bucket attachment and an UltraMax 1000-15CV plant manufactured by Eagle Crusher Inc.
The entire project was completed in two months without incident or injury, according to Dallas Contracting.
