Project Info:

Brandenburg completed the demolition and environmental remediation of the former Elmhurst Memorial Hospital, a five-story building and parking garage which opened in 1926. Brandenburg’s environmental scope consisted of asbestos abatement, environmental remediation, universal waste handling and disposal. The facility was constructed with a steel frame and masonry exterior. Concrete slabs and foundations were removed, and final site restoration was performed. Brandenburg utilized dust suppression systems to minimize dust emissions. Brandenburg crushed in excess of 52,000 cubic yards of concrete. The concrete was crushed on site and used as backfill on the same grounds. The contract was completed utilizing over 20,000 man-hours and sustained zero injuries. Fifty-six single family homes will be developed on the 11.4 acres of improved land.
