EDISON Project

Alhambra, California

Overview:

Standard Demolition was entrusted with the significant task of demolishing a facility used by Southern California Edison for refurbishing and storing transformers. The project posed unique challenges, primarily due to the long steel structure that necessitated the use of our high-reach demolition excavator. A critical aspect of this project was ensuring the safety and minimal impact on the ongoing operations at the Edison location.

Objectives:

Efficiently and safely dismantle the transformer refurbishing and storage facility.
Strategically demolish the long steel structure using specialized high-reach demolition equipment.
Ensure minimal disruption to the ongoing operations and personnel at Southern California Edison.
Maintain the highest safety standards to protect both our team and Edison employees.

Key Tasks:

Site Assessment and Planning: Performed a detailed assessment to plan the safest and most effective demolition strategy, especially for the challenging steel structure.
High-Reach Demolition: Utilized our advanced high-reach demolition excavator to tackle the large steel structure, ensuring precision and safety.
Debris Management and Recycling: Carefully managed the demolition debris, prioritizing environmentally responsible disposal and recycling practices.
Safety Protocols Implementation: Rigorously adhered to comprehensive safety protocols to minimize risk throughout the project duration.
Final Site Clearance: Conducted thorough site cleanup and clearance post-demolition, ensuring the area was safe and tidy for Edison’s continued use.

Safety Measures:

Adhered strictly to industry-standard safety measures, ensuring the well-being of all involved personnel.
Implemented additional safety precautions due to the proximity of Edison’s operational staff and facilities.

Challenges and Solutions:

Addressed the complexities involved in demolishing the long steel structure while keeping adjacent structures and operations intact.
