American Axle & Manufacturing – Demolition of Detroit Manufacturing Complex
Adamo purchased the Detroit Manufacturing Complex, exclusive of the land, from American Axle & Manufacturing. Adamo performed asset reclamation and demolition of the nearly 2M square foot complex, a project that included plant decommissioning, asbestos abatement, utility disconnects, demolition of the manufacturing plant and powerhouse, and onsite concrete crushing.
The project produced over 30,000 tons of recyclable materials.

The project was situated over the boundary of the cities of Detroit and Hamtramck and was further divided by Holbrook Avenue; in essence almost creating two distinct jobsites for one project.
There were logistical complexities to overcome where single plants occupied property in both Detroit and Hamtramck, complicating the permitting process.
Even with our extensive state-of the-art equipment fleet, many phases of a project must still be performed by hand.
Adamo successfully completed the last piece of work with the removal of a 36,000 lb. utility trestle that crossed over an active railroad. Due to the limited window of opportunity to perform work in the railroad right-of-way, the trestle was picked up in one piece and downsized on the ground away from the tracks.
Adamo deployed equipment and a team of its seasoned demolition experts to Lynchburg, Virginia to complete the decommissioning and demolition of this 700,000 square foot foundry, a project on which we were able to recycle over 95% of the materials.

Adamo demolished Building 1, the Powerhouse, the Oil House and decommissioned and removed fuel tanks at the former Automotive Component Holdings Ypsilanti Plant for Ford Land. The project site is located on Ford Lake in Ypsilanti, Michigan.
During the course of the demolition project, subsurface contamination was discovered which posed a threat to the adjacent waterway. Over 50,000 cubic yards of contaminated concrete and soil were excavated and disposed of and engineering controls put in place to protect the surrounding environment.
Asset liquidation and sale, asbestos abatement, environmental clean-up, sewer re-lining and demolition of East Manufacturing Complex, including the Powerhouse, WWTP, pedestrian overpass and utility trestle over an active rail line. This 2.2M square foot demolition project produced close to 60,000 tons of recyclable materials.
With the property adjacent to the Flint River and the Owner under a governmental order concerning PCB contamination, strict safety guidelines were developed and successfully implemented during the project to prevent PCB migration to the adjacent waterway.
Adamo performed the environmental decommissioning and demolition of the 200,000 square foot Slab Mill Building at Severstal North America’s Dearborn Facility. The project also included outsourcing the re-routing of mechanical and electrical systems for the construction of the new slab mill.
The scrap steel was recycled in-house by the Owner and nearly 2M tons of concrete was removed and shipped for recycling.
Asset sale, site decommissioning and demolition of 925,000 square foot Foundry Complex that included the removal of universal wastes and asbestos containing materials.
