Failing to plan well can lead to a plan that, well, fails…(An old proverb with a new twist.)

Conversely, a well planned (and executed) project is poised for success - to complete on or ahead of schedule, on or under budget, and safely (without incident).

After nearly 3 decades and $ billions in demolition and abatement projects, we know how to plan (and execute) and successful project – but that does not keep us from looking for improvements.

12


Nuprecon Starts each project with an 8 page Pre-Project Planning Checklist containing 160 requirements all of which fall within 5 categories and are confirmed by 16 project participants – staring with President of the company and including at least one safety team member and a representative of our customer.

Experience taught us 2 things…1.Virtually every one of these requirement will be addressed, at one time or another, during a project.2.Addressing these requirement in advance makes for a more profitable (for our customer and ourselves), timely, and safe project.

13


To illustrate this point, today we will review 6 of these requirements and 7 project examples of how addressing them favorably affected the successful completion of those projects. It is important to note that all of the checklist items support the focus on (one or more) Safety, Production, Schedule, and Communication.

Sample requirements reviewed are as follows1. Site Specific Safety Plan (Johnston Atoll)2. Pre-Demo Engineering Survey (Marriott Courtyard)3. Special Conditions / Sensitive Areas - identification thereof (Waikiki Beach Walk)4. CPM Schedule Tracking and Controls (Edith Green)5. Structural Issues (Apperson Hall)6. Debris Removal (The Nines/Starwood Hotel)7. Site Specific Safety Plan (Charlotte Coliseum)

Site Specific Safety PlanProject Name: Johnston Atoll Customer: CH2M Hill Contract:

$12,258,538

Project Scope/Description: Johnston Atoll is located in the Pacific Ocean, approximately 717 nautical miles west-southwest of Hawaii. Johnston Atoll functions as a National Wildlife Refuge and supports U.S. military operations. Due to its remote location, Johnston Island served the U.S. military as a testing area for nuclear missiles in the 1960’s and as a storage area for Herbicide Orange in the 1970’s. Most recently it operated as a Chemical Weapons destruction facility.

The Challenge: To safely deploy and house the requisite equipment and personnel and perform the clean up all of these highly toxic hazardous materials and demolition of 206 structures (approximately 900,000 sq. ft) on this extremely remote island.

The Solution: Armed with a well thought out and comprehensive Site Specific Safety Plan, Nuprecon was ready to address all known safety issues and was prepared to respond to a couple of unforeseeable challenges as well and completed this challenging project safely, on time, on budget and was awarded the 2005 ABC of Western Washington “Eagle of Excellence” award for its outstanding performance on this job.

Pre-Demo Engineering SurveyProject Name: Courtyard by Marriott Customer: Hoffman Construction Contract: $2,549,218

Project Scope: Selective demolition and abatement on this challenging downtown Portland project. The more noteworthy aspects of this complicated interior strip-and-gut project were (1) The exterior skin removal of this 13 story building. An inherently difficult task requiring additional care because of it’s highly populated urban location. (2) Complete responsibility for the de-tension and re-tension process of all of the post-tension floors. Nuprecon was accountable for nearly all aspects of the structural update of this building to include overall management, engineering and city reviews, as well as the fabrication and installation of custom braces designed to redistribute the load during this upgrade. The complexity of this task was greatly increased due to inaccurate as-built drawings. (3) Complete removal of the annex building.

The Challenge: One of the challenges in this project included the total removal of a 3 story historical annex building which was a primary source of support for 2 adjacent buildings.

The Solution: Equipped with the structural insights, missing from the erroneous as-builts but provided by the comprehensive pre-demolition survey, Nuprecon stabilized the 2 adjacent buildings prior to the demolition of the unwanted building by designing and installing 26 additional horizontal supports installed

Special Conditions / Sensitive Areas-identification thereofProject Name: Waikiki Beach Walk Customer: Thompson Matheny Corp Contract: $ 3,900,135Project Scope: This highly successful project required the complete abatement and demolition of two

city blocks in the heart of Honolulu’s Waikiki Beach to facilitate the construction of retail shopping and parking complex. The scope of work included demolition of four nine story hotels and six additional two-three story structures surrounded on all sides by operating hotels and condominiums.

The Challenges: Three of the hotels had zero setbacks from public sidewalks and two were located within ten feet of occupied structures. Due to the sensitive location dust, noise and tourist activities added another level of concern in addition to normal demolition criteria.

The Solution: Thorough collaboration and planning enabled Nuprecon to design and construct 30 foot tall dust a debris barriers. This combined with an effective dust-control plan, mitigated the potential impact to surrounding business and individuals. It is also worthy to note that during the planning process Nuprecon proposed that the concrete from the structures be processed on site for fill material. This approach saved the project $750,000 and eliminated 1,900 truck trips in and out of Waikiki. Street closures were reduced to a fraction of the original scheduled durations as a result of precise planning, innovative techniques and superior field execution.

CPM Schedule Tracking and ControlsProject Name: Edith Green Federal Building Customer: Howard S Wright Contract: $7,000,000Project Scope: The complete interior strip and gut and the complete removal of the exterior skin of

this GSA building. 6 GCs were prequalified to bid on this CMc project and each we allowed to include a team of 5 in their proposal and interview. All 6 wanted to includes Nuprecon as one of their members and 2 of those wanted exclusivity. Ultimately the Howard S Wright team, which included Nuprecon, won. This project is in process.

The Challenge: Achieving the desired quality of product, adherence to schedule, and achievement of Small Business contracting goals, while coordinating this green project with numerous other contractors.

The Solution: Because of our early inclusion by all bidding GCs and the GSA during the 9 month evaluation process, Nuprecon has been able to provide essential insight into feasibility, best practices, Small Business contracting, and scheduling requirements. Using a collaborative and coordinated approach while leveraging design and scheduling tools (BIM) we were able to develop ROMs, individual breakouts, production plans, contingency plans, a site specific safety plan, and more – and present the best options to the GSA.

Structural IssuesProject Name: OSU Apperson Hall Customer: Hoffman Construction Co. Contract: $1,011,596Project Scope: The Apperson Hall project at Oregon State University involved the removal of the roof

structure and all interior structures while leaving the historical 1910 façade intact. The Challenge: The key challenge in this project was the construction of bracing to hold the outside

walls in place while demolition was performed inside.The Solution: Nuprecon’s team did a significant portion of the preplanning in order to place the

support blocks correctly. In all, 19 large blocks weighing 22,000 pounds each, and 15 small blocks weighing 5,000 pounds each were used to support the braces, and these blocks had to be placed very precisely at the right elevation to ensure that the building was properly supported without causing any damage to the structure.

The process of removing the interior of the structure was well planned and executed. After the roof was removed, soft demolition was performed on each of the three floors of the building. Then the third floor was removed and loaded out through a chute on the second floor and an interior chute from level 3 to the first floor before crews moved down to the second floor and followed the same procedure. Once the top two floors were removed, the wood flooring and finally the concrete slab on the ground floor were removed and loaded out.

Debris RemovalProject Name: The Starwood Hotel Customer: Hoffman Construction Contract: $7,098,744Project Scope: The complete abatement, strip and gut and extremely technical select structural

demolition of the top 10 floors of the historic building which were being converted into a hotel. The scope also included the total removal of the top 4 stories, including the entire mechanical infrastructure. Work occurred concurrent to the separate renovation of the Macy’s department store below, which remained open during renovation.

The Challenge: In addition to the occupational and LEED/waste requirements, the project presented technical challenges because the structure was built in three stages between 1909 and 1932, and there were no well-kept drawings or permits for the early construction, resulting in a 15-story building with different construction methods and technologies.

The Solution: To get the materials safely out of the building, Nuprecon designed and fabricated a 210-foot tall debris chute – the tallest ever built in city of Portland. It was constructed of steel to safely facilitate the passage of 25 million pounds of debris through the chute.

To meet the project’s stringent LEED waste diversion requirements, materials were source separated on each floor and then loaded out individually utilizing a red light/green light system to ensure there was no cross contamination in the debris chute. We diverted and recycled nearly 2100 tons of debris. Nuprecon achieved an 85% diversion rate to support the project’s LEED goals.

Site Specific Safety PlanProject Name: Charlotte Coliseum (CST Env.) Customer: Pope and Land Ent. Contract: $2,800,000Project Scope: Complete demolition of the Coliseum to include the removal of the entire structure,

recycling as much of the material as possible, and post demolition grading. The project was broken into 3 phases.

The first phase was the demolition of the arena floor and seating area. The floor was an elliptical shape and was approximately 22,000 square feet.

The second phase of the project was preparation for the implosion. The project required 550 pounds of explosives. The shape charges were set on a 5 millisecond time delay to minimize the shock wave. The entire implosion took 13 seconds.

The third phase of the demolition project was final clearing of the implosion debris and site grading. During this phase, over 60,000 tons of unsuitable soil was removed, all scrap metal was processed, and the remaining concrete and asphalt was processed and used for onsite fill.

The Challenge: Safely complete the scope, achieve the LEED target, and do so on or ahead of schedule.

The Solution: Through our pre-project engineering and thorough Site Specific Safety Plan we were able to design a process to safely and successfully remove the Coliseum and bring it to grade.

Detroit’s J.L. Hudson Building: NASDI retained the services and worked closely with implosion specialist CDI. This demo project set a record as the tallest structural steel building ever imploded. 2.2 Million square feet.SITE CHALLENGES:

• Was built in 12 stages (1911-1946), each with it’s own structural configuration. Consisted of 4 basements, 33 levels in all incl. 6 stories in the tower that provided storage and mechanical support.

• No structural drawings were available, making demolition method and implosion analysis challenging.

• Was surrounded on 3 sides by critical infrastructure, one just 15 feet away.

Hundreds of thousands of tons of debris had to remain in a footprint 420 ft by 220 ft.

All windows were removed pre-implosion. Took 8 months to prep for demolition Took 3 mos. For asbestos abatement. Took 4 mos. For implosion design. Coring for all 4,512 delay elements. Glass co. crews on standby for surrounding

businesses. Utility emergency crews on standby. Post- Demolition: 5 mos. To remove all debris. Minor cosmetic damage: structural and

control cable/ rail damage
