WAYNE COUNTY AIRPORT AUTHORITY <br />L.C. SMITH TERMINAL PACKAGE B <br />Adamo was the Prime Contractor for this project, located <br />in Romulus, Michigan at the Detroit Metropolitan <br />Airport. The project was for decommissioning and <br />demolition of the former L.C. Smith Main Terminal <br />building, Concourse B, elevated mall, and pedestrian <br />bridge. The project also included asbestos abatement, <br />universal waste removal and PCB remediation. <br />The demolition of the pedestrian bridge, which was over <br />the main entry/exit road to the airport and attached to a <br />parking structure was a bit of a challenge. The final <br />portion required a 300 ton crane to lift the precast beams <br />from the structure which was between the active <br />emergency communications tower and the glass <br />vestibule of the parking deck. <br />Demolition of the 430,000 sq. ft. terminal included felling of the 125' former control tower which was a mere 80' away <br />from the active airfield, removal of the basements, sub basements, utility tunnels and foundations. <br />Adamo imported and placed over 13,000 tons of backfill material and reused over 8,000 tons of onsite material creating a <br />significant savings. Along with backfill, 16,000 tons of crushed concrete for future project subgrade was imported and <br />placed. <br />The project produced over 40,000 tons of <br />concrete, 35,000 cubic yards of debris, and <br />5,000 tons of scrap, all sent to recycling <br />centers. <br />The project required over 16 subcontractors, <br />and 12 different consulting firms (testing <br />agents, design professionals, rental service <br />companies, layout engineering services, etc.). <br />Adamo completed the project below budget, <br />with no lost time injuries and ahead of <br />schedule, despite delays and complications of <br />working during the Covid-19 pandemic. The <br />work was completed July, 2020. <br />Client Quote: <br />" 1, amongst many other, commend Adamo Demolition for their outstanding efforts and accomplishments to alleviate the <br />24 day temporary suspension that was encountered late in the project due to the effects of COVID-19. <br />Outstanding efforts gentlemen, by yourselves and all others involved in making this project a successful one, actually TWO <br />successful projects. In conclusion with Package A and e together being on/below budget, beating the schedule and a <br />quality job was done. Rarely do we see all three of those characteristics together on a project. <br />Congratulations on a job well done!" <br />Paul H.
