R. Baker & Son Demo Team Completes Partial Plant Demolition

R. Baker & Son recently completed a demolition and decommissioning project at a northern New Jersey plant. The first of R. Baker & Son’s tasks was to demolish a 60’ x 30’ fuel pipe platform, which included valves, filters, etc. Baker team members painstakingly drilled pilot holes to identify lines that still contained oil. When found, openings were cut in the pipes to allow thinning of the viscous oil with diesel fuel, followed by filtered vacuum removal. 

Crew members next assisted in recovering tons of raw proprietary product from a 12’ x 60’ silo that was 47% filled. We worked closely with the owner and environmental team to remove the product via vacuum truck then performed demolition of the silo. An adjacent metal storage building that still contained various crates and drums was slated to be demolished next. The product in the containers was identified by our environmental team, labeled, and removed for recycling or disposal. Lighting, ventilation, building structure, and concrete foundation were carefully dismantled and recycled where possible.
