A few years back, United Airlines was undergoing a major renovation project of its hangars. They were retrofitting all of the structural elements and making upgrades to their buildings. Before they could start any new construction, however, they needed to complete the demolition of the old hangar structures. That’s when those involved with the project reached out to Matrix Environmental for help.

About the Project
As a demolition and environmental remediation company, Matrix Environmental demolished the existing mechanical rooftop systems, which included roughly 130 tons of metal debris and 120,000 square feet of structural steel decking. One of the biggest challenges was dealing with the heights. These hangar buildings were up to 120 feet tall in places to fit all the planes and other major airline equipment. This required an exceptional focus on worker safety high up in the structures as well as below any work that was being done.

Safety First
At Matrix Environmental, our goal is to provide a safe working environment for everyone involved in the project, whether it’s a demolition job like this or a hazardous materials abatement situation. We are happy to report that there were no safety incidents on this project and the job was finished on time as contracted. All the old materials were demolished and safely removed from the premises so that the new construction team could come in and complete the structural improvements on the hangars.
