Universal Wrecking Corp Awarded Second Phase of Large Demolition Project

Universal Wrecking Corp., a premier demolition, scrap metal recycling and wrecking contractor that operates on a nationwide basis, was recently awarded the next phase of the demolition of a large manufacturing and warehousing facility in Pennsylvania.

After a major fire severely damaged a large section of this one million square foot facility, Universal Wrecking Corp. (UWC) was awarded the first phase of the project which was to perform emergency demolition services.  UWC was contracted to remove the collapsed bays of the building and clean up the fire damaged debris and steel members.  UWC utilized surgical demolition techniques to cut away the damaged sections from sections the Client’s engineer deemed to be structurally sound.

Following this first phase work, the client’s engineer did further structural analysis on the remaining sections and bays of the building. The client determined that it would be more cost effective to demolish the remaining sections of the building and rebuild then try to repair and retrofit to get the facility back up to code.

The client contacted UWC to come back and demolish the remaining 700,000 square feet of standing facility.  Demolition will be down to top of concrete slab.  UWC was able to offset a substantial amount of the cost of demolition with the scrap metal salvage.

UWC anticipates utilizing the following equipment for this project:

• A Cat 330L Excavator with a hydraulic hammer attachment
• A Cat 330 Excavator with LaBounty Grapple attachment
• A Cat 350 Excavator with LaBounty MSD 100 Shear attachment
• A Cat 345 Excavator with LaBounty 3000 Rotating shear
• A 110 hydraulic crane
• Bobcat 773 Skid Steer with demo grapple
• Bobcat 773 Skid Steer with hammer attachment
• Various support equipment
• 8 employees consisting of operators and laborers

Universal Wrecking Completes Recycling of Shipping Containers for Scrap Metal

Universal Wrecking Corp. (UWC), a premier demolition and scrap metal contractor, recently completed the purchase and scrap metal recycling of damaged cargo containers.

A large client involved in shipping, contacted UWC to purchase over 50 cargo containers that were damaged beyond repair and needed to be scrapped. The containers varied in sizes from 20 foot long to 40 foot long. Approximately fifteen (15) of the containers were aluminum in composition, another fifteen (15) were steel and the remaining twenty (20) were refrigeration units (“reefer units”). The aluminum and steel containers were easy to process into scrap but the reefer units posed a bit more of a challenge due to the amount of insulation in these units which had to be separated and sorted from the scrap metal. UWC processed the cargo containers into scrap metal for recycling and provided the client with certificates of destruction.

Due to UWC’s strong relationships in the scrap recycling industry, UWC was able to offer the client a substantial value for the cargo containers as scrap metal. The client was very pleased with the offer as well as UWC’s prompt payments.
