National Demolition Association Demolition Academy at 2011 Convention
The National Demolition Association’s safety and management training event, Demolition Academy, takes place March 5-6, 2011 in the opening days of the NDA’s Annual Convention in Las Vegas. Sessions cover OSHA 10-hour certification and topics such as industrial hygiene and disaster response.
The National Demolition Association’s respected Demolition Academy – an intensive safety and management training event – will take place March 5-6, 2011 in Las Vegas, right before the opening of the National Demolition Association’s 38th Annual Convention at The Mirage. The decision to connect the two events was made to enable participants to take advantage of the convention, which runs March 5-8.
The Demolition Academy begins Saturday March 5 with the Demolition-Specific OSHA 10-Hour Certification. For those already holding their certification, there is concurrent in-depth training in basic industrial hygiene for the demolition industry, fall protection, and developing and utilizing a demolition engineering survey. All sessions conclude at 12:30 p.m.
The Sunday March 6 session provides a continuation of the Demolition-Specific OSHA Certification of the previous day, or the option of full-day management training workshops in generational communicating, OSHA’s new crane standard, and a session called “When Disaster Strikes.” Again, all courses conclude at 12:30 p.m.
The Demolition-Specific OSHA 10-Hour Training Certification is taught by certified instructors and is required by many of the industry’s larger clients, according to Michael R. Taylor, CAE, NDA Executive Director. “It should be an important part of every company’s safety training program and is also required as part of OSHA’s Disaster Site Worker Training Certification,” he said, adding that 2011 is the 17th year that the Association has been offering a formal safety training program to the industry.
The National Demolition Association’s Demolition Academy gives participants a selection of options for attending the event. Attendees can sign up for the entire safety/management program or the OSHA 10-hour for a flat fee of $175. They can also pick individual classes for $50 per class. The program includes continental breakfasts and coffee breaks each day. Attendees are also entitled to visit the Convention Exhibit Hall on Sunday afternoon at no extra charge.
For information on a special $229 per night room rate at The Mirage from March 3-11, contact The Mirage at 800-627-6667 and mention the National Demolition Association. More information on the event is available at http://www.demolitionassociation.com/SAFETY/NDAsAnnualDemolitionAcademy/tabid/203/Defa

or by contacting the Association at info@demolitionassociation.com or 800-541-2412.
The National Demolition Association is a non-profit trade organization representing approximately 1,000 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. The association’s efforts help members stay abreast of environmental, regulatory and safety matters, keep regulators informed about issues facing the industry, increase public and industry awareness, and provide members with networking opportunities and information on the latest technical advances in equipment and services.

Universal Wrecking Corp Demolition Project Featured in C&D World Magazine
The article entitled “Demolition Projects” featured a recently completed demolition project completed by Universal Wrecking Corp (UWC). The article discussed how UWC completed the first phase of a large demolition project in the New England Region. The client awarded the project to UWC based upon their engineered cost saving approaches to the project as well as their safety record and project schedule.
The first phase of the project included the asbestos abatement and demolition of several dilapidated buildings. The buildings were constructed of wood structural beams, wood floors and roofs and brick and stone walls. The buildings were 70 years plus old and had significant water damage and cracked beams making the structures unstable.

Universal Wrecking Corp Completes First Phase of Plant Demolition
The first phase of the project included the asbestos abatement and demolition of several dilapidated buildings. The buildings were constructed of wood structural beams, wood floors and roofs and brick and stone walls. The buildings were 70 years plus old and had significant water damage and cracked beams making the structures unstable.
Prior to any demolition or abatement activities, several tasks needed to be completed. Utilities were confirmed to be disconnected and all permits were obtained.
To properly remove asbestos materials from a structurally unsafe building, UWC worked very closely with their asbestos subcontractor to remove all ACM via wet methods. Variances and permits were obtained to make sure the abatement and demolition was conducted properly. The removed asbestos materials were properly wetted and directly loaded into lined waste containers for offsite disposal.
Once the asbestos containing materials had been removed, demolition activities commenced. Making the project a bit unique was the fact that the buildings were situated with 10 feet of an active railroad line. Demolition had to be conducted in a careful, methodical manner in order to not damage the rail line or nearby railcars.
UWC utilized the following heavy equipment to demolish the structures:
• 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
• Bobcat 773 Skid Steer with demo grapple
• Bobcat 773 Skid Steer with hammer attachment
• Various support equipment
Support personnel included a total of eight (8) employees consisting of OSHA trained operators and laborers.
UWC made every effort to maximize recycling on this project. Metals were sent offsite to a scrap yard, concrete, brick and block were sent to a recycler and clean wood was separated from debris.
The work was conducted in accordance with all OSHA regulations and was successfully completed on schedule.
