Wrecking Corporation of America (WCA), Alexandria, Va., has been awarded a contract for the demolition of a six-level garage, building excavation and site preparation for a new commercial building in Washington, D.C.
The site is adjacent to the existing 51 Louisiana Ave. office building and down the street from the U.S. Capitol. The general contractor is the Maryland-based Clark Construction Group.
WCA will demolish the six-story, 170,000 square-foot garage, which is constructed of reinforced concrete. The company will remove approximately 11,000 cubic yards of concrete and rebar from the site for processing and recycling. WCA will then excavate for a 10-story building and underground garage, trucking approximately 80,000 cubic yards of dirt and debris from the site to prepare for the new foundation work.
Demolition and excavation are scheduled to begin this month and are scheduled to be completed in early 2007.
