A1 Conveyor Demolition Project

Palmer, MI

Industry: Mining

Project Scope

The Owner required the removal of an unsafe conveyor belt and structure caused by a fire. CR Meyer was tasked with engineering and implementing a stabilization and demolition plan for this A1 conveyor.

CR Meyer designed and engineered the temporary shoring and crane pick plan, for sequencing the removal of the damaged structure. To minimize potential risks, a subcontractor’s hydraulic shear was used to dismantle and cut the structure after it was safely hoisted to the ground by CR Meyer tradesmen. Due to the structural instability, the engineering was challenging and required sequencing the removal of the conveyor sections. Wooden timbers were engineered into the shoring plan to stabilize the structure enough to allow safe access for our employees to perform the demolition.

Project Stats

  • CR Meyer Self-Performed: Design and Engineering (Temporary Shoring Plan), Demolition
CR Meyer played a key role as a partner in the overall success of our project. The entire construction team was fully engaged and committed to delivering the successful results of being under budget, starting up early and attaining end-of-curve production in unprecedented time.
