Arch Engineers Ltd. provided engineering and lift planning services for the demolition of the Rail Car Ramp, a project located directly over a marine environment. Due to its sensitive location, we prioritized environmental protection and regulatory compliance throughout.
Environmental factors significantly shaped our approach. To safeguard marine life and water quality, we implemented protective measures such as silt curtains and containment booms. Our team collaborated with environmental consultants and regulatory agencies to ensure full compliance with applicable regulations and best practices.
The Rail Car Ramp demolition required crane lifts operating at up to 90% of capacity, demanding precise planning. Arch conducted critical lift analyses and rigging studies to address load distribution, center of gravity, and swing dynamics. This work ensured safe execution and minimized risk to crews and the environment.
We conducted regular inspections to verify the effectiveness of environmental controls and lift procedures. The close coordination between Arch’s engineers, the demolition contractor, and environmental specialists ensured project success while meeting all regulatory requirements.
