Concrete Sawing and Drilling, the industry’s premier
concrete removal service, successfully completed one of its
most challenging projects – removing 1.2 million pounds
of concrete from the University of Michigan’s hospital
complex. Typical activity,
over the course of one-year, at the U of M hospital complex
includes:
- 43,000
admissions
- 60,000
surgeries
- 1,500,000
clinic visits
-
72,000 urgent care visits
- 3,800
deliveries of new babies
The successful removal of the 1.2 million
pounds of concrete in 3 x 7-foot pieces of ceiling weighing
about 1,000 pounds and the removal of a 7,600-square-foot 6 to 10-inch
concrete floor presented numerous challenges such as:
- Maintaining
minimal hospital interruption of services
and activities
- Working
hours convenient to hospital personnel and patients and
thus reducing the
noise factor
-
Using only electric concrete saws, fork trucks and excavators
to avoid gas fumes and
vibrations
Following
the successful concrete removal, Ohio Concrete Sawing and
Drilling moved the pieces by elevator and transported to dumpsters.
The U of M then made every effort to recycle the building
materials.
