Candlestick Park Recycles 98% of Materials on Demolition Project
Silverado Contractors crushed the majority of materials onsite or shipped them out for additional processing before reuse on other projects.
Silverado attached spray nozzles to the excavators, which automatically released water to control dust at the tip of the breaker. This ensured excavator operators had a clear view of the work and eliminated the need for manual dust control, which meant crews could remain a safe distance away from any falling debris. Silverado also had operators controlling nozzles on aerial lifts that were set farther back than the excavator, spraying the point where debris hit the ground.
