“Clearing the way for the Future”
Good morning friends and colleagues.
It’s been a while since I posted one of our many ongoing projects, but this one definitely needed to be shared.
Our amazing Force Demo team is finishing up with the very critical selective demolition removals of the Terminal 4 pedestrian bridge that connects the P4 parking structure to the existing Terminal 4.
The project team spent over six months preparing for this work with planning, engineering, logistics, work plans, pick plans, reshoring, and the major planning for the lane closures of all lanes for arrivals and departure levels to perform these highly critical structural removals with great success.
Our teams had to selectively remove all components of the existing bridge structure that included interior ceilings, floorings, exterior glass partitions, roofing, metal roof decking, concrete structural deck over metal decking, interstitial structural beams to get back to the bridge back to the main skeleton structural members for the crane pick operations.
Once the existing bridge was removed down to the main skeleton frames, we removed the bridge in three night shifts to pick the main components of the structure and bring it down safely in a very, very, short time window in order to get traffic opened up for the daily airport operations.
With all projects, to be successful a lot of time is spent planning for these removals prior to performing the work. I want to give a huge shout out to the project team for bringing this one in safely and on schedule.
Thank you to the LINXS team, Vertical Access, Mr. Crane, Rodriguez Trucking, Volvo, and all the trade partners that helped make us and this project successful.
Thank you to our amazing Force Demolition, Inc. team, you guys are truly the best.
Please keep us in mind for your next project that has a need for our demolition services.
