In this project we were contracted to remove 7 metal false dormers on the roof of an outlet center in Ocean City Maryland. The Dormers are 18 foot long by 14 foot high and weigh about 2,000 lbs a piece. 

We had to secure the Dormers with our Forklift and cut the metal at 5 points where they were  attached to the metal framing of the building. The steel on the dormers is .25 inch thick. We first removed the roof around the structure and the proceeded to cut the metal with a metal cut off saw.

During a demolition project it is hard to predict how things are going to progress. After realizing that the cut off saw was taking too long we moved on to our plasma cutter. We protected the areas below with burn blankets and proceeded to cut the structure with the plasma cutter. This made the process move  a whole lot faster. We have done other selective demolition jobs in Maryland and Demolition jobs in Salisbury where we have used the plasma cutter and it is a great tool for certain jobs.

We were able to remove all the dormers in 2 days and repair the roof in all of the areas were the structure was removed with out any problems. If you have a selective demolition job, interior demolition job, tenant fit out or any kind of demolition project please give us a call for a free estimate. We have all the equipment and tools to get the job  done along with an outstanding safety record.  Call Apex Construction at 240-793-5867

Selective Demo of Brick Planters in Ocean City, MD

Apex Construction Completes Selective Demolition Project

Apex Construction was commissioned to selectively demolish and remove brick planters in front of this Ocean City Dunkin Donuts franchise location.  The demolition project requires particular attention to detail so as not to damage the main structure or foundation.  This selective demolition project in Ocean City also required the work to be completed while the occupants remained in business.  Disruption to customer traffic and overall dirt/debris had to be kept to an absolute minimum to the business could continue it's operation. 

At Apex Construction we thoroughly plan every part of a demolition project, anticipate the problems and come prepared with solutions.  Apex can professionally complete your selective demolition project from extensive structural building renovations, retail centers, condo conversions and multi-story seismic retrofits to removal of boilers, stairs, elevators, escalators, stacks, conveyors, as well as simple interior demolition projects.  Apex Construction also performs interior demolition including tenant fit-outs.  Contact Apex Construction for any of your demolition project needs.

Selective Demolition refers more towards preparing structures for some type of renovation, addition, or rebuild as opposed to the full blown razing of a structure.  This requires a great amount of care as it is extremely difficult to take out only certain aspects of a location while still maintaining the structural integrity of the home or building.  This requires architectural research, careful planning, and a level of precision that not every construction or deconstruction team is capable of.  Figuring out what areas need to be ignored, reinforced, or destroyed completely is as much art as science and requires the most talented professionals in the industry.  Contact Apex Construction for your next Demolition Project.
