Wrecking Ball Raises Concerns on Pa. Demo Project

Workers for Neville Recycling and Triad Metals in Neville, Pa., changed equipment when their use of a wrecking ball on a demolition project raised concerns among town officials, according to a report in the Beaver County Times (Beaver, Pa.).

According to the report, workers were using a 3-ton wrecking ball to break the pavement to upgrade railroad crossings last week when they were stopped.

The paper reports that a Neville Township public works official became concerned about a 75-year-old cast iron water line running under where the ball was being dropped.
