NFTA Silo Demolition

Owner: Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority (NFTA)

Location: Buffalo, NY 

Facility Type: Government

Wargo was approached by another demolition company to remove this silo located on a site owned by the Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority (NFTA) in Buffalo, New York.  A demolition plan was implemented for the removal of this 100 foot tall silo.  A reverse trip method was used to bring down the silo accurately and safely.  Once removal of the silos dust collector “bags” was completed, which are located at the top and bottom of the silo, Wargo was able to demolish the remainder of the structures.  This included the silo itself, the office trailer, all above grade foundation components, two concrete scale ramps, and various concrete load cell foundations.
