Dutchess County Correctional Facility, Poughkeepsie, New York

Our Sessler Wrecking team performed complete removals of historic and active structures at the facility— which included controlled demolition as well as abatement of hazardous materials from the roof of the structures, all while maintaining a safe work distance from occupants, adjacent trades and the general public. A new jail will be built for the institution on the former footprint.

This job involved close coordination with the Dutchess County Sheriff to work in and around the active correctional institution while eliminating the possibility for a security breech within the Sessler controlled demolition work area. As always, site safety and cleanliness were a top priority!
