"NOTHING GOES BEYOND OUR REACH"
PORTFOLIO
Liebherr Plant,
Newport News, VA
East Coast teamed up with W.M. Jordan Company to complete the separation and structure demolition of 30,000 SF existing high bay steel truss structure that is currently being used to build Liebherr equipment.
​
This project consisted of pre engineering the demolition plan, separation, protection, and selective removal of structural elements of the plant. 450 LF of separation and lead abatement began the project to create an air gap for roof dry in and weatherproofing of the existing structure. An active plant inches away from the separation created a high risk environment that was mitigated with proper planning.
​
By utilizing our high reach excavator we were able to separate the structure mechanically and safely lower portions of the roof and roof trusses to the ground. Work was completed over a 4 week period. The plant activity could not be shut down, so ECD implemented methods of demolition that allowed for all shift work to continue without interruption.​​
Pembroke Mall,
Virginia Beach, VA
East Coast Demolition worked with Pembroke Realty and Core 22 to separate, dry in, abate, and demolish the former mall portion of Pembroke Mall, in Virginia Beach, VA. The area of demolition was approximately 165,000 sf.
​
The work consisted of over 2,500 LF of separation along multiple anchor stores that were to remain. All demolition activities were carried out over the summer months with no shut downs to the mall or surrounding businesses. Work was completed with minimal disruptions and all exterior walls were left in place to minimize optics and noise until the end of the project.
​​
Perdue 6 Pack, DE
East Coast Demolition worked with the Perdue AgriBusiness to remove a 80' concrete silo grain storage 12 Pack. Careful pre planning, design/fabrication, and coordination was carried out to ensure safety to the surrounding tipper, rail line, overhead power lines, and active facilities. ECD fabricated multiple demolition debris boxes and hanging debris curtain that were placed to contain debris during demolition activities and to protect active structures adjacent to the silo footprints.
​
Work was completed over a 4 week window, with no facility closures needed. An 80' top house located on the concrete structure to remain had to be removed by hand prior to the 12 pack demolition. Then the main structure needed to be sawcut and separated from the silos. The debris protections had to be moved and placed throughout the project, as well as coordinating demolition activities around the active rail lines.
​
Utilization of our Volvo 480E HR high reach, we were able to safely remove the silos in a very controlled manner. An 80 ton crane was brought in to hold our debris curtain while we demolished the last two silos. All concrete was processed on site, rebar was removed, and hauled off to a local yard for recycling. All materials from the demolition activities was 100% recycled.
Marshall Ridley
Newport News, VA
East Coast teamed up with Breeden Construction to complete the full abatement and structure demolition of the former Marshall Ridley housing development located in Newport News, VA. The project will bring in new apartments for the growing area.
​
This project consisted of 43 structures totaling 250,000 sf, with full abatement, demolition, E&S, and UST removal East Coast coordinated and maintained all site E&S for the duration of the project. The 43 structures were removed to slab in a total of 16 weeks. Over 1,400 loads of material were hauled off site. 50% of the waste stream was repurposed as landfill cover. 3 machines worked full time to complete the work on schedule and within budget. Phase 2 consisted of removing all 43 slabs, roadways, and parking lots, as well as crushing all material on site for re use. Over 10,000 tons of aggregates were crushed to a 21A grade and re purposed on site. Extensive abatement was completed during demolition activities as well with ACM located under each slab.
4 Story Office Bldg, Norfolk VA
East Coast Demolition worked with the City of Norfolk to remove this 55,000 sf office building to open the space for future development. Careful pre planning and coordination was carried out to ensure safety to the surrounding community, pedestrians, and roadways. Hanging curtains were placed to contain debris during demolition activities and to allow work to continue during changing weather conditions.
​
Work was completed over a 6 week window, with no complete road closures needed. The structure was surrounded on three sides by active roadway, surrounding businesses, and heavy traffic. At the adjacent untersection was the newly renovated Matin Luther King Jr. Memorial, and monument sign that was only 10' off the building corner. ECD took care to protect the monument and maintain traffic during renovations and ceremonies.

​
BASF Brown Field Site Demolition, Portsmouth, VA
East Coast Demolition is working with Victory Unlimited on the former BASF Plant site, removing over half a million square feet of concrete foundations and impervious site items. The site consists of of plant foundations, slabs, tank foundations, and secondary enclosures. Foundation removal is extending beyond 10' in some areas.
​
A portion of the demolition requires bulk soil removal to expose underground foundations and slabs. Existing rail road, above ground storage tanks, and asphalt roadways are also being removed.
Utilizing 7 machines, ECD is currently on schedule.
All aggregate materials are being stockpiled on site to be crushed for re use in the building pad of the future cold storage facility that will be built.
Over a 2 month period over 15,000 tons of concrete and asphalt will be demolished, removed, stockpiled, and crushed.
Quality Inn, Hampton, VA
East Coast Demolition worked with the City of Hampton to demolish the former Quality Inn located in Hampton, Virginia. The 150,000 sf hotel consisted of office spaces, theatre, convention center, 2 story motel, and 9 story hotel. All work was completed with East Coast Demolition owned equipment.
Work was completed over several months, taking down the structure strategically, cleaning the site as we progressed as to not leave any hazards on the site. With the hotel in close proximity to restaurants, active hotels, and a busy retail area, extra steps were taken to mitigate dust and debris. Exterior walls will eft as long as possible to contain dust and debris, as well as limit the view of the site from the active hotel next door.
​
Once the majority of the single to two story portion was completely down and cleaned up, we utilized our Volvo highreach to take down the 9 story. Separating materials and hauling off as we demolished help keep the project area looking clean and organized. It was important to the City of Hampton to keep a clean appearance to the site even with the scale and scope of work.
Arbors, Williamsburg, VA
This project consisted of 7 structures totaling 80,000 sf, all associated concrete slabs and foundations, and surrounding parking lots and trees. Overall the 4 acre site was left a blank canvas for the GC to complete the new work. All concrete and asphalt was crushed on site, to be re-used in the new construction. Over 7,000 tons over material was recycled. East Coast was able to recycle 87% of the waste stream.
​
What made this project more difficult was that all the roofing material had trace amounts of asbestos. East Coast utilized heavy equipment and trained staff to soft strip all interiors of the buildings. This allowed our crews to safely and efficiently remove the roofing during heavy demolition, and separate the roofing from the rest of the waste stream. East Coast also utilized atomized dust suppression systems on site to keep all dust within regulatory limits. These engineering controls allowed ECD keep surrounding businesses and people safe, as well as saving the owner money and time!
5 Story Hotel Abatement and Demolition
Richmond, VA
East Coast Demolition worked with a local general contractor to tackle this 120,000 sf former hotel and restaurant combo to make room for a new developer. Work consisted of over 100,000 sf of abatement and soft strip in the 5 story structure. Debris was removed prior to demolition to help divert recyclable material from the local landfills. Work was done in phases to keep production moving while multiple aspects of the project were completed.
​
While interior soft strip and abatement was taking place in the 5 story portion, 20,000 sf of the existing restaurant and event halls were demolished along with slabs and foundations. During the demolition of the 5 story structure, crews installed shoring and selectively separated the hotel and stairwell from an existing 7 story hotel that was to remain.
​
Along the separation line, 5 stories of block was directly adjacent to single story portions of the hotel to remain, as well as the request to preserve the fire suppression room on the first floor of the structure that was being demolished. Work was carried out in a safe and planned environment allowing a successful completion of all aspects of the project.
