An 11-Story Implosion at Marshall

What the project covered

The work centered on an 11-story, 233,519 SF building at NASA Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama. It was delivered as part of work across 28 contracted facilities on the campus, and covered asbestos abatement, implosion and structural demolition, and site restoration.

The project finished on schedule with zero recordable incidents and no lost time, and 98% of waste was diverted from landfills.

What made the site demanding

The building stood inside an active federal research facility with controlled access. Work on one of the nation’s premier aerospace campuses calls for meticulous planning, strict safety protocols, and disciplined execution.

Plans for nine areas of the work were written before the building came down.

Why our team fit the job

Target self-performed the demolition under experienced field supervision, which kept the schedule and the safety record in our own hands.

Target managed abatement, implosion, and restoration under one plan, from the first submittal to closeout.

Federal Campus Demolition

Safe, efficient demolition that meets the standards of a premier federal campus, with zero recordable incidents and no lost time.
