Cambria Contracting Destroys Vesuvius

Cambria Contracting took on Vesuvius, and they won!

No not the mountain in Italy, but the Mineral Procession Mega-Company. In Buffalo, NY there once resides a 145,000 square foot carbon plant. The decommissioning and demolition of which, was not set to be a quick process. Knowing that they required the very best in the industry, Cambria Contracting was the obvious choice.

The word's Carbon Plant do not really call to mind the extreme hazards that were present in this facility. I mean I am made of Carbon, and we use carbon dating on fossils, and Carbon really never gets in trouble unless two of those no-good oxygens are around (CO2 for those still reading). Carbon Plants are foundries used to create dies for various iron castings. Usually they involve reactors which must be clear of any and all extemporaneous gases.

The Vesuvius project which Cambria Contracting took on was no small task. As with most of the undertakings listed on this blog, this project involved sophisticated remediation as well as delicate removal and salvage of series of industrial equipment.
The first step was to dismantle and remove several of the blast kilns that had been used to create the castings. There was also several tons of milling machinery left in the facility as well. While this did not require the intricate dismantling that the blast kilns did, they still retained significant salvage value. As such Cambria Contracting was careful to ensure their removal was thorough and safe. By being able to safely dismantle and salvage, if not outright re-use, was able to save Vesuvius over $100,000. The intricacies of these steps and the success of the process in general are at the very core of what makes Cambria Contracting so successful. By having the training, experience, and knowledge to successfully remove large caliber industrial furnaces and equipment, Cambria Contracting proves time and again why it is the continent's best demolition firm.

Once, the salvage portion of the demolition was out of the way, the next step was to begin a process of asbestos abatement. As outlined in previous posts, this process is fairly tedious and begins by sealing off the entire afflicted area. With a facility that encompasses 145,000 square feet this is no easy task. Cambria Contracting handles it with ease, however, and from there was able to begin removing the dangerous material. Once again demonstrating Cambria Contracting's superior expertise.
From this point forward it was relatively simple to finish the demolition as the rest of the waste Cambria Contracting dealt with is labeled as universal waste. This includes much more traditional waste such as ballasts, light bulbs, instrument panels and even mercury switches if you can believe it.
Cambria Contracting had no trouble handling this mountain of a task and successfully did so. They remain the finest Industrial Demolition Contractor in North America.
