ST. JOSEPH MERCY OAKLAND HOSPITAL <br />j <br />This project was the <br />demolition of the 5- <br />story, 135,000 sf North <br />Tower at St. Joseph <br />Mercy Hospital. The <br />nursing units, pediatric <br />and mother/baby units <br />formerly housed here <br />had been moved to the <br />newly refurbished <br />South Tower. Months of planning, coordination with hospital <br />operations and preparatory work went into the process. <br />The 5-story tower was <br />demolished using <br />Adamo's 345 Apex High <br />Reach Excavator equipped <br />with an MP 30 multi- <br />processing tool. The <br />project also involved the <br />demolition of a 2-story <br />material handling building <br />9 — - <br />r <br />p :fit W <br />adjacent to the tower. The tower was demolished in sections rather <br />than implosion due to its proximity to active parts of the hospital and <br />surrounding neighborhoods. With proper, timely coordination with the <br />hospital staff, Adamo avoided any disturbances to hospital operations <br />due to vibration and noise. The project was completed safely and to <br />the hospital's complete satisfaction. <br />
