Project Overview

Atlas Demolition is currently engaged in an adaptive reuse project at Fort Jackson. The site, previously a mini-mall, is being transformed into medical offices, including spaces for dentists and chiropractors. Atlas’s role involves extensive concrete cutting and coring to prepare the site for utility installations.

Challenges

• Coordination with another contractor’s ongoing asbestos abatement efforts presents a unique challenge to scheduling.
• Scheduling conflicts arose due to changing timelines, requiring Atlas to remain on standby.
• Additional unforeseen demolition needs created cost and logistical challenges.

Solutions

• Juggled schedules and utilized temporary labor to maintain flexibility for immediate response.
• Maintained open communication with the general contractor to secure approvals for additional work and costs.
• Rented a specialized walk-behind concrete saw to meet project demands despite high market demand for such equipment.

Results

Though the project is ongoing, Atlas Demolition has successfully managed shifting demands and unforeseen challenges. Atlas has upheld their commitment to adaptability and professionalism, ensuring the project remains on track.
