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
