But even though it is very important to the entire project schedule to complete the demolition phase on time, design drawings are often lacking in detail, and means and methods are left to the demolition contractor.</p> <p>Demolition timing and logistics must be carefully coordinated with owners and facility managers to make sure that business operations and production continue smoothly, with no disruption. R. Baker &amp; Son has extensive experience filling in the fine details required to complete this phase swiftly, safely, and efficiently.</p> <p>Dust, noise, and vibration are often major concerns and must be addressed in detail. Dust can be alleviated by wetting surfaces, capturing particles with fog or spray, or using exhaust systems. Noise and vibration are largely inevitable byproducts that can be annoying to workers and disruptive to productivity, so it is important to work closely with owners to carefully schedule tasks that will create dust, noise, vibration, or any combination of the three. For example, a job requiring the use of jackhammers can be scheduled on a particular day from 6 to 8 a.m., noon to 1 p.m., and 4 to 6 p.m. This allows management to plan ahead and work around these conditions without any surprises or unexpected disruptions.</p> <p>A Rigging and Routing Plan is another important part of the demolition phase of a project.</p> <p>R. Baker &amp; Son is familiar with the many complexities involved in moving large pieces of equipment such as lyophilizers, air handling units, isolators and boilers. Careful planning is required to determine when and how to move these items, and through what access points, and rigging is coordinated to occur during convenient off hours when personnel safety won&rsquo;t be compromised.</p> <p>R. Baker &amp; Son has countless successful demolition projects under our belts and can provide clients with demolition schedules and Rigging &amp; Routing Plans that address all project concerns and details.

Once cleaned up, brownfields have the potential for reuse, with some restrictions. One innovative way to reuse this land is development of renewable energy sources. So far, the EPA has identified more than 4,000 brownfield sites with potential for redevelopment with renewable energy in the form of wind farms, solar arrays, and geothermal power plants. Instead of utilizing undeveloped natural areas, brownfields offer many economic and environmental benefits, effectively revitalizing neglected reusable land while contributing to a cleaner future. Most brownfields already have existing electrical and transmission capacity and are zoned for industrial use, making them ideal for energy generation, and many state and federal incentives are available.</p> <p>R.

But even though it is very important to the entire project schedule to complete the demolition phase on time, design drawings are often lacking in detail, and means and methods are left to the demolition contractor.</p> <p>Demolition timing and logistics must be carefully coordinated with owners and facility managers to make sure that business operations and production continue smoothly, with no disruption.&nbsp; R. Baker &amp; Son has extensive experience filling in the fine details required to complete this phase swiftly, safely, and efficiently.</p> <p>Dust, noise, and vibration are often major concerns and must be addressed in detail.&nbsp; Dust can be alleviated by wetting surfaces, capturing particles with fog or spray, or using exhaust systems.&nbsp; Noise and vibration are largely inevitable byproducts that can be annoying to workers and disruptive to productivity, so it is important to work closely with owners to&nbsp;carefully schedule tasks that will create dust, noise, vibration, or any combination of the three.&nbsp; For example, a job requiring the use of jackhammers can be scheduled on a particular day from 6 to 8 a.m., noon to 1 p.m., and 4 to 6 p.m.&nbsp; This allows management to plan ahead and work around these conditions without any surprises or unexpected disruptions.</p> <p>A Rigging and Routing Plan is another important part of the demolition phase of a project.</p> <p>R. Baker &amp; Son is familiar with the many complexities involved in moving large pieces of equipment such as lyophilizers, air handling units, isolators and boilers.&nbsp; Careful planning is required to determine when and how to move these items, and through what access points, and <br /> rigging is coordinated to occur during convenient off hours when personnel safety won&rsquo;t be compromised.&nbsp;</p> <p>R. Baker &amp; Son has countless successful demolition projects under our belts and can provide clients with demolition schedules and Rigging &amp; Routing Plans that address all project concerns and details.&nbsp; Please contact us if we can help with your next project.</p> <p><strong>About R.
