Wrecking Corp. of America was awarded the Waterfront mall project in southwest Washington, D.C. The project consists of razing 1.2 million square feet of concrete structure, plus 75,000 cubic yards of excavation and 35,000 cubic yards of backfill. In addition, concrete crushing and recycling will be done on site.
"This is the largest single building in the District to be razed," says Terry Anderson, Wrecking Corp. executive vice president, "and it's part of the master plan for the renewal of the D.C. waterfront.”
“The building is a massive concrete structure that has to be hand separated from the buildings that are to remain. Wrecking Corp. has razed hundreds of buildings in cramped urban areas and is skilled in dealing with the unique challenges such projects represent," Anderson adds.
Wrecking Corp. of America, based in Alexandria, Va., has provided demolition services to major industrial, commercial and government clients in the Washington, D.C.; Virginia and Maryland metropolitan areas for more than 30 years.
