Alloy was contracted by the City of Jacksonville, Florida for the abatement and demolition of both the Courthouse and City Hall Annex. The Courthouse, a 370,000 square foot building and the City Hall Annex, a 16-story building both required asbestos abatement prior to the full structural demolition of both buildings.

At the courthouse our team utilized our fleet of excavators, a Volvo 700 Ultra Highreach to systematically dismantle the 7-story concrete and steel structure.

The city Hall Annex was in a unique location with such a mass size that it required an implosion method to bring the building down. We contracted Controlled Demolition, INC. as our explosive subcontractor. 

This project came with many challenges, including:

• The building was in the heart of downtown Jacksonville on the Saint John River; making noise and dust a major safety priority for our team.
• This project had a rigorous schedule that required our team to complete the abatement and demolition within the required 240 days

After the eight-month-long project, Alloy Group was able to successfully complete this project with accomplishments to note:

• Alloy was able to alleviate noise and dust concerns with the City of Jacksonville.
• Alloy was able to meet the deadline for an expedited schedule.
