The Scenic Hudson Silo demolition project was located in Kingston, NY along the Hudson River. This project consisted of selectively demolishing nine 150-foot-high reinforced concrete stacks.
There were unique challenges involved in this project that Sessler Wrecking was successfully able to overcome. Because of the height of the concrete stacks, it required the use of one of the industry’s largest pieces of machinery, a Komatsu PC1250 high-reach excavator. With a structure of this magnitude, Sessler Wrecking performed precision hammering and cutting to provide the cleanest and safest demolition. The use of this excavator also allowed crews to precisely remove and minimize debris and damage, while protecting the on-site personnel. It was also an important component of this project that the historic integrity and local artifacts of adjacent structures were preserved.
