Demolition is complete on the Sysco site. The demolition
was on time and on budget. Murray
Demolition was main contractor on the project. Considerable
activity has been taking place with former steelworkers employed
on site, doing essential demolition activities and clean up. The
Demolition Gallery and Video
Gallery host interesting pictures and footage of the plant's
demolition.
There is a detailed decommissioning process, which must take place
before a building can be demolished. This includes a careful inspection
to ensure that all environmental and safety matters are dealt with
prior to the commencement of any demolition activity. Each building
must be evaluated and signed off by Seacor Environmental before
demolition takes place.
At this point, twenty-five buildings and structures have been removed,
including the machine shop, calcite plant, and old roll shop. Below
is a list of the structures that have been removed and the date
they were cleared for demolition to start. Other buildings will
be maintained for use in the planned industrial park. (Click on
