ASHCAKE RD OVER 95
Ashcake Rd was a rapid bridge demolition project that was completed in only 4 shifts. PDI was contracted to remove the superstructure only, including the deck and girders in order for the client to be able to repair and expand the piers and replace the bridge deck. For this demolition, the I-95 had to be closed, and because of the heavy volume of traffic, closure times were very limited. The PDI team worked closely with the client to ensure there was enough closure time to get the job done, without causing further disruption to traffic. PDI demolished the bridge deck over the Northbound lanes, then removed the girders over the course of two (2) evening shifts before moving to the Southbound lanes and repeating the removal process. PDI completed the job on time, on schedule, making it a great success.
PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS
We used large pieces of concrete from the bridge to help stabilize the bank after demolition, and recycled or crushed 100% of the remaining material.
