Project Objective
Intracut’s team of estimators, foremen, safety professionals, and laborers was tasked to complete a sensitive project focused on the first and second floor of a commercial building in Thousand Oaks, CA.
Both selective interior and structural building demolition were performed on a two-story concrete tilt-up structure to allow the construction of a new building expansion.
Services
This project was very detailed and included many different services. It was completed on time and in budget with zero accidents or delays.
Demolition: Intracut performed selective demolition and building demolition over a 13,000 sq. ft area without impeding active adjacent research and manufacturing laboratories.
Part of Intracut’s scope was to remove exterior concrete tilt-up panels, portions of the roof and steel structure without impacting the actively occupied building.
Once the interior demolition was complete, Intracut focused on the removal of the steel roof and structure. Crews were able to use boom lifts alongside reach forklifts to remove the roof and structure safely.
For the removal of the concrete tilt-up panels at the building’s perimeter, Intracut employed the services of a crane contractor to assist with lifting the panels away from the building in a coordinated effort.
Concrete Removal: In addition to the tilt-up wall demolition, Intracut was tasked to perform the removal of portions of the building’s perimeter foundation. This was done by utilizing a wall mounted concrete saw to cut through the foundation and separate it from the rest of the building. Once the separation was made, Intracut was able to utilize an excavator to remove the 5’ deep concrete footing.
Concrete Cutting: Over the course of the project, Intracut performed the sawcutting and removal necessary for other subcontractors to install completely new mechanical, electrical, and plumbing utilities. The types of sawcutting included slab cutting, wall sawing, core drilling, and structural slab sawing on the second floor to make multiple concrete wall openings and add new larger foundations.
