Bank One Plaza, Chicago, Illinois

LVI’s ability to provide an integrated service offering and meet an aggressive time schedule was key to being awarded the contract to perform interior demolition, asbestos abatement, and refireproofing work on this major project. The project consisted of:

Following interior demolition and asbestos abatement, LVI replaced the structural fireproofing. Several floors required an accelerated around the clock work schedule (at the owner’s request), with multiple crews performing the application  and cleanup activities. As a precaution, extra fireproofing equipment and material remained on site to minimize the possibility of work stoppage resulting from equipment failure. The accelerated schedule also created the condition of dealing with excessive moisture buildup. To address this issue and increase cure time, LVI installed negative air units to both exhaust and circulate air. All floors met or exceeded the schedule requirements.

Cedars Sinai Medical Center –
North Care Tower, Beverly Hills, California

For one of the leading hospitals in the United States, LVI applied fireproofing to new steel columns, beams and load-bearing diagonal braces framing a new, eight-story patient care tower. Teams also applied fireproofing to the outward sloping decorative lobbies, requiring cantilevered scaffold access and high-density fireproofing application to the street-level ambulance entrance.
 

Veterans Affairs Medical Center, San Juan, Puerto Rico

Under contract to U.S. General Services Administration, LVI applied fireproofing to the existing ground floor framing of the 180,000-square-foot medical facility and reapplied fireproofing in multiple areas of steel framing after asbestos had been removed during an earlier phase of the project. A two-part rust inhibiting primer was applied to all beams and decking prior to fireproofing application.

Westinghouse Electric Company, Festus, Missouri

LVI provided all labor, materials and equipment necessary to remove all equipment and components from a hematite plant’s process buildings and to complete the demolition of the buildings to slab. The facility previously converted enriched uranium hexafluoride
gas (UFG) into fuel for nuclear reactors.

The project included:

NASA LUT-1, Kennedy Space Center, Cape Canaveral, Florida

LVI was contracted to remove lead-based paint contaminated with PCBs and asbestos-containing materials from the LUT-1 launch tower and then demolish the structure. The tower had been decommissioned by NASA and placed in a yard where it sat for many years. Lead and PCB-contaminated metals were decontaminated using a water blasting unit operating at 40,000 pounds per square inch. The LVI team erected a decontamination unit where the metal was reduced to manageable pieces, cleaned and then recycled at a nearby scrap yard.

 

Pentagon Renovations, Washington, DC

LVI performed complete asbestos and lead based paint abatement and demolition of all mechanical, electrical, communication, plumbing systems and interior architectural and structural finishes throughout 1 million square feet of Wedge 2 of the Pentagon, completing the work one and a half months ahead of schedule. LVI is currently performing work on Wedge 3, utilizing both mechanical and manual demolition and abatement methods while managing more than 200 laborers. Work on Wedge 4 is scheduled to begin in the fall of 2006, and Wedges 3, 4 and 5 are scheduled to be completed by 2012 or sooner.

 

Junipero Serra State Office Building, Los Angeles, California

LVI abated hazardous materials from the Junipero Serra State Office Building consisting of nine floors of offices, a full basement and a penthouse that contained the building mechanical systems. Total area of building is approximately 550,000 square feet.
