March 2008 - Universal Wrecking Corp., a building demolition contractor company providing nationwide demolition and salvage services, recently completed the demolition of a 4500 Manitowoc crane for a private client in Pennsylvania (PA).
Universal Wrecking Corp (UWC) was contracted by a private client to demolish the 4500 Manitowoc Crane which was located on one of the major coal mines in Pennsylvania. The crane was obsolete and had not been operational for several years. The dragline crane total weight was estimated at 300 Gross Tons.
Prior to actual demolition of the crane, several tasks needed to be completed. From an environmental standpoint, all fluids were drained from the crane. All collected fluids were then properly handled and disposed or recycled offsite. UWC also salvaged all reuseable parts which included tracks and other crane components.
Following these pre-demolition activities, the crane was then surgically dismantled using laborers with cutting torches. The demolition crew carefully cut the crane into sections and then further sized the metals into manageable pieces. These pieces of scrap metal were then sorted and placed in containers. The scrap metal was then sent offsite for recycling.
Due to the amount of spare parts recovered and the value of the scrap metal, UWC was able to return a significant payment to the client. The client was pleased with the payment as well as the fact that the work was completed on schedule and with no injuries or incidents.
Universal Wrecking Corp. is one of the premier demolition contractor and scrap metal removal contractors in the United States. Demolition services include commercial and industrial demolition, interior demolition and renovations, scrap metal recycling and removal, dismantlement, tank and silo demolition, mobile and portable onsite concrete crushing and wrecking.
