Arch Engineers provided engineering support for demolishing an 80-year-old steel and concrete mill. Without existing design drawings, we began with comprehensive inspections and measurements to create a detailed 3D model. This model was essential for planning a staged, executable demolition strategy that ensured accuracy and safety.
With the 3D model ready, we deployed an engineer on-site to give real-time feedback to the demolition crews. This engineer conducted daily inspections and immediately updated our senior engineers. Using these insights, the team developed specific daily work packages tailored to actual field conditions and progress. This dynamic approach allowed us to respond quickly, minimize delays, and address challenges as they arose.
Ultimately, our staged demolition plan, supported by innovative engineering and real-time feedback, enabled the mill demolition contractor to exceed performance expectations. This collaboration ensured the project finished on schedule and demonstrated our ability to manage complex demolition projects effectively.
