Recycling of Shipping Containers for Scrap Metal - Client Paid
Universal Wrecking Corp. (UWC), a premier demolition and scrap metal contractor, recently completed the purchase and scrap metal recycling of damaged cargo containers.
A large client involved in shipping, contacted UWC to purchase over 50 cargo containers that were damaged beyond repair and needed to be scrapped. The containers varied in sizes from 20 foot long to 40 foot long. Approximately fifteen (15) of the containers were aluminum in composition, another fifteen (15) were steel and the remaining twenty (20) were refrigeration units (reefer units). The aluminum and steel containers were easy to process into scrap but the reefer units posed a bit more of a challenge due to the amount of insulation in these units which had to be separated and sorted from the scrap metal. UWC processed the cargo containers into scrap metal for recycling and provided the client with certificates of destruction.
Due to UWC's strong relationships in the scrap recycling industry, UWC was able to offer the client a substantial value for the cargo containers as scrap metal. The client was very pleased with the offer as well as UWC's prompt payments.

DEMOLITION ASSOCIATION’S NEW BRANDING INITIATIVE
As part of its strategic growth plan for the future, the Association is accompanying the unveiling of the massively upgraded website with the introduction of a new logo and a new organizational tagline, "Making Way," to communicate the promise that progress accompanies the demolition process. "The demolition industry has evolved into a very diverse and sophisticated business since the founding of our Association 37 years ago. Today it includes not only demolition contractors, but also companies involved in the broad spectrum of demolition-related services," explained Michael R. Taylor, CAE, Executive Director. "We want our website to be the foremost source of information for all of these constituents, which is why we completely revamped it to put everything visitors need at their fingertips. It’s now the gateway to all information needed on the demolition process, on a worldwide basis."
The fresh, concise redesign and the enhanced, simplified navigation system enable visitors to quickly find what they are searching for on the site. One of the most noteworthy additions to the site is a series of new videos which answer questions such as "When is Demolition Needed?" "What is the Process of Demolition?" "How Does our Work Benefit Society?" and "How Does the NDA Supports its Members?" Other features of the website will be safety-training courses, a member or supplier locator, access to the Demolition Safety Manual, or downloads of the training videos.
The new logo found on the National Demolition Association site – a stylized wrecking ball within a box – presents a streamlined look of commitment and competency. The simple, bold statement represents the past, present, and future of the demolition process.
Developing an appropriate tagline to convey the value of the demolition process led to the choice of "Making Way." "This short, bold statement captures everything involved in demolition from demolishing structures to abating asbestos, cleaning up weapons site or remediating Brownfields," Taylor said. He pointed out that many of today’s demolition firms are vertically integrated, owning their downstream buyers. "Many of our current members also provide services that may include construction and demolition debris recycling, landfill operations, and salvaging, while others perform hazardous material management and remediation which often precedes the actual structure take-down," he added. These businesses, as well as civil engineering, architectural, and general contracting firm, are all viewed as being part of the demolition process.
According to Taylor, the phrase "Making Way" conveys the fact that demolition professionals make way for the future, for new development, for historic preservation, for better schools, safer factories, and more jobs. "We ‘make way’ for a safer environment, cleaner streams, better public service, and economic progress."

The National Demolition Association is a non-profit trade organization representing more than 1,100 U.S. and Canadian companies and many international firms that are involved in the demolition process. Membership includes demolition contractors, general contractors, civil engineering firms, and recycling, landfill, and salvage operations.

Universal Wrecking Corp. Completes Demolition of Concrete Plant
The main goal of the demolition project was to demolish the buildings and structures on the 20 acre site. There were two (2) large buildings utilized for repair and storage which were constructed of steel and block. There was also a large one story office building constructed of wood and block.
Prior to demolition activities, an environmental survey was conducted along with a review of the client’s existing documentation on Asbestos Containing Materials (ACM) and other possible hazardous materials. ACM had been abated by the client prior to their mobilization and no additional ACM was found. The other environmental concerns were oils and greases contained in the equipment and gearboxes. These oils and greases were properly drained and containerized for offsite recycling at an approved facility.
UWC also needed to confirm that all the site utilities were deactivated. Water, gas, sewer, electric, phone, cable, etc. were all confirmed to be cut, capped and de-energized.
As there were still several pieces of re-useable equipment remaining at the facility, UWC utilized their rigging and salvage crews to carefully remove the used equipment for resale. A 60 ton crane and manlift along with a skilled rigging crew were used to salvage the saleable equipment.
To perform the demolition services, UWC mobilized a large crew of trained employees and well as numerous pieces of demolition equipment from its expansive fleet. Heavy equipment mobilized to the site included a Cat 330L Excavator with a hydraulic hammer attachment, a Cat 330 Excavator with LaBounty Grapple attachment, a Cat 350 Excavator with LaBounty MSD 100 Shear attachment, a Cat 345 Excavator with LaBounty 3000 Rotating shear, two (2) Bobcat 773 Skid Steers with demo grapple and hammer attachments and numerous site support vehicles. The average crew size on the project was eight (8) employees which consisted of laborers, foremen, a site supervisor and site safety officer.
Scrap metal recycling was very important on the project as the proceeds were utilized to help offset the demolition costs. In order to maximize the return on the scrap metals, UWC carefully sorted the metals into non ferrous and ferrous piles. Once the materials were sorted, UWC then processed, cut and stripped the materials so that the materials were clean and prepared in order to obtain the highest scrap metal prices. UWC also utilized one of their 70 foot long portable truck scales onsite to ensure proper weight verification on all trucks leaving the facility. In all, over 1200 tons of scrap metal were recycled from the demolition operation.
From start to finish, the work was completed in two (2) months without incident or injury.

Universal Wrecking Corp Completes Interior Demolition Project
Universal Wrecking Corp. (http://www.universalwrecking.com ), a building demolition contractor company providing nationwide demolition and salvage services, recently completed a very technical interior demolition / equipment salvage project that also included exterior demolition of a tank farm and associated piping, pipe bridges and concrete stantions and pads.
Universal Wrecking Corp (UWC) began by first by performing the interior demolition / fit-out work. The goal was to demolish the interior steel work and mezzanine but salvage all the reactors and associated pumps and motors. UWC is an expert equipment salvage company and carefully started at one end by cutting away the steel work and then cautiously removed the equipment to be salvaged. To accomplish this, UWC utilized skid steers with demolition attachments as well as laborers with torches in manlifts. A fire watch was constantly maintained. Equipment was walked to the loading dock using a forklift and then loaded and secured onto flatbed trucks. This process of demolition and salvage continued until the entire mezzanine was demolished and all equipment was safely salvaged. All bolts on the floor were cut flush with the existing concrete slab.
Following the interior demolition and equipment removals, UWC proceeded to perform the outside demolition of the tank farm. Structures were first carefully separated from the building to remain utilizing laborers with torches in manlifts. Once the area had been separated structurally, the outside tank farm was demolished utilizing a Caterpillar excavator with shear and grapple attachment. Skid steers with demolition buckets also assisted. Utilizing the excavator and shear as well as skid steers, metals and debris were separated into separate piles. The metals were separated and recycled offsite. Debris was also collected and properly disposed offsite.
This interior and exterior technical demolition project was completed by Universal Wrecking Corp. without any injuries or incidents. It was also completed on time and within budget.
