Demolition, Dismantling and Decommissioning Project Completed By R. Baker and Son All Industrial Services
05.12.08 (3:50 pm) [edit]
R. Baker and Son All Industrial Services performed the decommissioning and dismantling of four (4) gunite lined steel stacks from the top of PSEG’s Glenmont, New York Powerhouse. The 20 ft diameter, 170 ft tall stacks sat on top of the 165 ft high building roof for a total height from the ground of 335 feet.
Tasks involved cleaning and remediation of over 1000 cy of fly ash from the stack bases and breeching. Material management was critical including segregation of fly ash, gunite and carbon steel for recycling.
Rigging and dismantling procedures involved detailed lift plans, weight calculations, monitoring weather conditions and wind loads, confirming ground stability and a number of other critical factors to guarantee that all lifts were safely performed.
One of the largest obstacles was the type of crane to be utilized due to a confined footprint for which to assemble equipment and which was surrounded by live power lines, cooling towers and new powerhouse which remained on line 24/7. R. Baker and Son All Industrial Services decided to utilize a M760 ton Favco tower crane erected on top of the powerhouse which was used to facilitate the lifting and lowering to ground of stack sections. R. Baker & Son erected and installed a base for the Favco tower crane and tied it directly into the building's column lines.
A 500 ton hydraulic Demag was also utilized to hoist workers in a certified man basket over 350' in the air in order to perform rigging and dismantling activities.
R. Baker & Son All Industrial Services completed the strictly-controlled and potentially hazardous project on-schedule, within regulations, and, most importantly, incident free.

R. Baker Historical Look Back - Rigging of Colgate Clock
05.07.08 (2:16 pm) [edit]
This is an historical look back at one of R. Baker & Son All Industrial Services's larger rigger projects. For project pictures go to www.rbaker.com/rigging.php
September 1999 - During the early hours on a clear September Saturday morning with the majestic downtown Manhattan skyline as a backdrop, a new chapter unfolded on the flourishing Jersey City waterfront. The landmark Colgate clock, which was originally mounted on an eight-story manufacturing building built in 1924. Standing seventy feet high and fifty-four feet wide is the world’s largest working vertical face clock as noted in the Guinness Book of World Records. The clock was moved to its new location where it will continue to provide the Metropolitan area and Hudson River travelers with the time of day and an unforgettable site for years to come.
The Colgate-Palmolive Company, in taking great care to preserve the historic harbor landmark and keep it running during the harbor front redevelopment of the firm’s 34-acre site mandated that the giant clock and adjacent 90 by 60-foot billboard be relocated and up and running within a 48 hour period to minimize the length of time the clock would out of service.
To accomplish this monumental feat, the operation's logistics and rigging were entrusted to R. Baker & Son All Industrial Services of Staten Island, New York. To protect the clock’s complicated and sensitive mechanisms and meet the overall project goals, R. Baker & Son decided to move both the sign and clock and its 70-foot high steel frame in one piece rather than dismantle and reassemble them.
R. Baker & Son went to great lengths during the planning stages to assure that all concerns and aspects of this complicated project were addressed. A structural survey was performed and an engineered rigging and lifting plan was developed. Plate bearing capacity tests over the course, which the crane was to travel, were performed. Wind speed was charted for a period of two weeks prior to lift. Precise calculations were developed in order to determine static load strength to determine the exact pick points to accomplish a perfectly level lift in order to walk the two structures to their new location.
R. Baker & Son utilized numerous specially manufactured spreader bars and rigging systems in order to lift and walk these massive structures, utilizing a 250-ton conventional crane along with a 150-ton hydraulic assist crane. To perform this delicate transfer R. Baker & Son coordinated the services of dozens of highly qualified personnel made up of iron workers, engineers, electricians, operators and local law enforcement officers.
Upon final setting and field certification of welds and anchoring systems a post inspection analysis was performed to verify that all aspects of the project were performed to the highest standards of quality.
With work beginning at 6:00 am on Saturday morning and completed by 6:00 p.m. on Sunday evening R. Baker & Son successfully completed the goal set before them to have the billboard and clock up and running for the hundreds of thousands of metropolitan area commuters to set their watches by on Monday morning.

R. Baker & Son All Industrial Services Completes Technical Dismantlement and Demolition Project
04.11.08 (1:40 pm) [edit]
April 2008 - R. Baker & Son All Industrial Services, a specialized contractor providing total plant dismantlement, demolition and decommissioning services, recently completed an eight (8) phase, highly technical, demolition and environmental remediation project at Kings County Hospital located in Brooklyn, New York.
R. Baker & Son All Industrial Services (R. Baker & Son) was contracted by the client to provide a complete turn-key package which consisted of the complete remove of asbestos containing materials, demolition of three (3) multi-story buildings (one 5-story 100,000 sf building and two 1-story 20,000 sf buildings), removal of all piping, conduit and other related services from underground utility tunnel, demolition of all concrete slabs and foundations, removal of one underground storage tank and one above ground storage tank and then restoration and backfilling of the area.
Prior to any work being performed several pre-demolition and abatement tasks needed to be completed. All utilities were disconnected from the buildings and temporary electric and water lines were installed to facilitate the work. An OSHA engineering survey was completed, notifications were submitted and all permits were obtained. Universal wastes (mercury switches, ballasts, fluorescent light tubes, etc.) were collected, characterized, containerized and the shipped offsite for proper recycling. Proper sidewalk bridges, barricades and fencing were installed to protect the surrounding public and structures. Scaffolding was also installed around the entire 5 story building, including the penthouse. The scaffolding consisted of double plank wood members with 2 ply debris netting.
Demolition and abatement means and methods were carefully evaluated based on several technical factors. Due to the close proximity of surrounding buildings (less than 40 feet) as well as public sidewalks, the building needed to be carefully taken down by hand demolition methods. In addition, there was asbestos flashing that went thru the walls as well asbestos containing waterproofing on the spandrel beams.
In order to evaluate the safest and most efficient means to complete the project, R. Baker & Son utilized the services of a licensed Professional Engineering firm to perform several engineering analysis tasks. The engineer evaluated the structural integrity of the building with respect to the proposed method of demolition as well as an evaluation of floor loading for various pieces of demolition equipment (skid steers and Brokk robotic demolition machines). Utilizing the engineering report as well as input from R. Baker’s internal demolition and asbestos abatement experts, it was decided to perform the work in a phased approach starting from the top and working down. This top down phased approach was also in compliance with NYC variances and ensured that the building was stable throughout the process and did not require any temporary bracing or shoring.
The phased approach to the work was closely coordinated and allowed abatement and demolition to be conducted simultaneously. Working down from the roof, the demolition crews removed all loose items from the floors including desks, cabinets, partitions, etc. Once a floor was completed, the abatement crew would then enter and perform abatement of all non friable asbestos containing materials (ACM). The demolition crew would then come back to remove all sheetrock and drop ceiling so that the abatement personnel could come back in to properly abate the friable asbestos materials (mostly pipe insulation). The wrecking personnel then came back to remove all remaining items and expose the building beams which had ACM waterproofing which then needed to be abated. Finally, once all ACM was properly abated, the demolition work crews went back to the top of the building to manually demolish each floor.
Demolition crews utilized various hand tools to accomplish the demolition as well as specialized demolition equipment which included skid steers with demolition hammer and bucket attachments and Brokk 90 hydraulic breakers. Material was removed from the building via elevator shaft and debris shoots on the outside of the building.
As per NYC rules, Mechanical demolition commenced once the structure had been hand demolished to under two stories in height. R. baker & Son utilized several large 100,000 + hydraulic excavators with demolition attachments (hammers, grapples, pulverizers) to demolish the remaining portions of the main building as well as the two smaller 1 story buildings. Dozers, skid steers and front end loaders were also utilized to facilitate the demolition, sorting and loading efforts.
Once the building was demolished to grade, the slabs and foundations of the subfloor of the main building was also demolished. Care had to be taken to not demolish the sidewalls as these concrete structures needed to remain to provide support for surrounding soils (nearby structures or sidewalks could have been undermined if the soils gave way). Once the slab and foundation were removed, geotextile was then installed with a layer of pea gravel. The remaining portion of the subfloor was backfilled and compacted with clean fill materials back to original grade.
The one UST and one AST were also demolished and removed from the site. The tanks were properly drained and cleaned prior to excavation or removal. The tanks were then cut up on site utilizing an excavator with shear attachment and then sent offsite for scrap metal recycling.
The project was completed in 12 months without incident or injury.
