Abatement, Demolition, and Vibration Monitoring of 10 Clinton Street (the former State Department of Public Health Laboratory) |
Hartford, Connecticut
Project Owner/Client: Connecticut Department of Administrative Services – Division of Construction Services:
|
Under its On-Call Services contract with DAS-DCS, Freeman Companies was selected to provide Project Management, Civil Engineering, Hazardous Building Material Services, Structural Engineering, Vibration Monitoring and comprehensive Construction Administration services for this major building demolition in the heart of an historic neighborhood in downtown Hartford in very close proximity to the Connecticut DEEP Office Building, State Judicial Office Building, historic church, the Bushnell Center for the Performing Arts and the City of Hartford Mayor’s Residence.
The project consisted of demolishing the Department of Health Laboratory building, the building addition on the east side and the pedestrian overpass connecting the original Department of Health Laboratory to 79 Elm Street. In its place a 25,000 square foot parking lot was constructed, as well as a wall on the north side and installation of additional drainage structures. Scope of work included disconnecting and capping the existing utilities servicing the buildings, coordinating the permitting process with the City of Hartford and the Metropolitan District Commission, performing boundary investigation and topographic survey with a subdivision plan, and abatement of all hazardous building materials.
The environmental scope is a major component of the project and has involved advisory services to the Client on pre-demolition progress (of another consultant) and supervision of the building abatement which includes air monitoring.
Of special concern to the Commissioner of DAS was minimizing/mitigating the impact of necessary demolition activities on the neighborhood. Freeman Companies successfully coordinated with high profile stakeholders to complete a smooth demolition of the existing building with little impact to abutters and the public.
