East Coast was tasked by Perdue to remove an aging concrete silo from their facility.

​

This project consisted of pre engineering the demolition plan, separation, protection, and selective removal of structural elements of the silo, and complete demolition to slab.  With no as builts and minimal knowledge of interior elements, ECD put together a plan to safely remove the silo.

​

The concrete lid was first removed by robotic demolition, exposing a steel cone inside the structure that had to be robotically demolished and torch out.  At 120' in the top portion of the silo, care was taken to remove in small manageable sections to be able to prevent collapse  or collateral damage to surrounding infrastructure.

​

Once the upper structural elements were removed, ECD utilized its high reach excavator to quickly and safely demolish the rest of the concrete silo to grade.  All while working around a live plant with no shut downs necessary.​​
