UPDATE: Klenck Company has begun demolition activities on the Memorial Medical Center parking garage project. After extensive pre-demolition timber erection and adjacent building protections, the Volvo 360 UHD excavator begins demolition on the North face of the building. The secondary machine, a Volvo 330 with Universal Processor and concrete cracker head, works to aid in the structural demolition. The timbers will be salvaged during the project and reused, the concrete will be crushed and utilized on future construction projects, and the scrap steel will be sent to the recycling yard. Once complete, 99% by weight of the will be reused or repurposed.

261 Furnace Excavation, 2011: As a complimentary project, Klenck Company was again tasked with the 261E ABF tub excavation. Although a similar project in nature, the 261E package required a 24 hour/ day operation to meet stringent deadlines. RTA allowed the contractor 8 days to complete the operation; Klenck Company need only 6 1/2 days. 16,000 tons of debris was excavated from the twin furnace bays and crushed onsite. Once the debris was removed, laser grade boxes were used to maintain grade specifications over the 45,000 square foot area. Such adherence to the tight tolerances allowed future subcontractors to begin work without delay.
General Electric tasked Klenck Company with the removal of un-auctioned machinery and the remaining MEP once the Owensboro plant had shut down. The large interior space allowed for our Fuchs 350 wheeled excavator and steel shear to be taken from the scrap yard and employed onsite. Once the larger steel was processed, a Cat 308 mini-excavator equipped with a steel shear began cutting small ferrous and larger nonferrous materials to recycle.

To make way for the new LEED Silver Evansville Arena, seven structures required removal. The challenge was not in the demolition , it was the schedule. Hunt Construction Group set a completion date that allowed only three weeks for building demolition, foundation removal, and structural backfill of remaining voids. To minimize impact to the surrounding construction, all seven buildings were brought down in six hours during an evening shift. Klenck Company turned over this project 12 days ahead of schedule. To further illustrate the crew’s ability—the contents of the building were recycled or reused at a rate of 63% by weight.
