Long Beach, California (PRWEB) September 15, 2014

Earlier this week, Long Beach-based demolition company Choppin Demolition Services, made public the recent expansion of their service range to include pool demolition and landscape development services for residents and businesses in Los Angeles and Orange Counties and the greater Southern California marketplace. The new service offering comes on the heels of the ever increasing demand of property owners for specialized and cost-effective swimming pool removal services and landscape development.

Commenting on the creation of this new division, Choppin Demolition Founder and CEO Scott K. Choppin declared: With the now constant drumbeat about drought conditions in California and the long-term investment that requires constant spending on pool maintenance, supplies and rising water costs, the demolition of unwanted pools has become an in-demand service for real estate owners. From owners of single family homes, to owners of thousands of apartment units, our pool demolition and landscape services division can address the concerns and needs of homeowners and apartment owners who are no longer willing to pay the high price of maintaining a pool.

According to Mr. Choppin many property owners have expressed the desire to have their swimming pools removed for different reasons: tax reduction, lower utility costs, lower insurance premiums, elimination of pool maintenance and expenses, and reduction in the use of water in times of rising water costs due to drought conditions. Choppin Demolition will professionally manage all stages of the demolition process, including building permit processing and issuance, pool draining, pool demolition, and if the owners chooses, installation of final landscape and hardscape to complete the owners vision. In fact, one of Choppin Demolition competitive advantages is their design/build capabilities related to design and installation of landscape for the property owners, including having an in-house landscape architect. Mr Choppin states: When you really think about it, folks dont envision an empty yard when they think of removing their pool. What they think about and dream about is a beautiful backyard or apartment courtyard with lush landscaping, decks, trellises, and walkways and sitting areas. Our team delivers this dream by efficiently removing the pool, then helping the owners design their dream, and delivering a fully landscaped property when we are done.

In addition to the newly-formed pool demolition division - called Division 2 within the company, the Long Beach company also offers a full scope of industrial, commercial, and residential demolition services, falling within the purview of Division 1 within the company. Choppin Demolition has established a reputation for providing uncommon and creative solutions in executing demolition projects, and for managing complex demolition projects with safety and integrity.

Demolition of the old Princeton Hospital is scheduled to begin Friday when crews begin to raze a one-story building next to the parking garage, the town said Monday.

This weeks work is the first step of a process that could take up to six months, depending on the weather. Developer AvalonBay is having its demolition company clear the site for a 280-unit residential development that will be built there.

"It has been a long time coming and we could not be more thrilled that mobilization for demolition is underway. We look forward to bringing this big eyesore down quickly, safely and with minimal disruption to the community," said AvalonBay vice president Jon Vogel by email Monday.

Town engineer Robert V.Kiser said Monday that the demolition company would use an excavator with a large claw attached at the end "reach up and take portions of the building down in pieces." No explosives will be used.

Officials have said there would be air and noise monitors on the site. Mr. Kiser said the perimeter walls around Franklin Avenue and Witherspoon Street would stay up to minimize the noise from the demolition. Those walls will come down at a later point.

Mr.Kiser said the demolition company has no plans to work this coming Saturday.

PRINCETON: Hospital demolition scheduled for Friday

PRINCETONThe former University Medical Center on Witherspoon Street is slated to be demolished Friday, weather permitting, Princeton engineer Bob Kiser said.

Kiser and other town officials Monday morning met with representatives of AvalonBay, the developer with plans to turn the hospital site into 280 housing units, to discuss when demolition will take place. The latest estimate given was sometime this week, and Kiser said the town will meet with AvalonBay again Friday morning to confirm the razing.

John Mucha of Yannuzzi Wrecking and Recycling Corp. told residents at a neighborhood meeting earlier this month the demolition process is expected to last between three and six months.

During demolition work, water will be sprayed over the site to keep dust down so its not kicked up by trucks driving around, Mucha said previously, noting this will address about 90 percent of demolition dust.

Storm drains will also be covered with fabric to keep out unwanted particles, and there will be dust monitors at each corner of the property. A weather vane will also be in place to show which way the wind will be blowing, Mucha said.

AvalonBay hired Cerami & Associates to monitor noise levels on the site. Residents can expect sounds including the twisting of steel and the breaking of concrete slabs and the slamming of dump trucks throughout the process, as building materials are either crushed and reused on site or hauled away to a recycling facility.

In addition, the Princeton Health Department is working with the Mercer County Division of Public Health to provide additional noise monitoring. Any noise complaints should be directed to the Engineering Department.

Work is moving along on the property as contractors prepare for demolition. In Kiser's latest update to the public Monday about the project, he said Yannuzzi finished removing carpeting, wiring, lighting fixtures and other building materials that will be reused or disposed.

Asbestos removal from the main hospital building is complete, with the exception of the roof flashings, which Yannuzzi is in the process of removing, the update said.

Work has also begun to remove much of the upper concrete floor deck of the former hospital parking garage that will be replaced with a new concrete deck. It is anticipated to take between 10 and 11 months to complete all of the garage repairs, the update said.

TO intensify their campaign against illegal vendors, retired Colonel Yusof Jimlani said that he assigned some personnel from the Drainage Management Unit (DMU) to the demolition unit of the city.

Jimlani, who is both the chairman of the DMU and the city's demolition unit, said Monday that he added DMU personnel in order to add to the labor force of the demolition unit.

"We only have 11 personnel sa demolition na original and we added 19 lately so that makes it 30 and this is still not enough because in one operation we normally have around 60 people," Jimlani said.

As of August 2013 to September 14, Jimlani said that they have already conducted 113 demolition operations with an average of nine operations per month, three operations per week with each operation covering three areas.

Jimlani added that they have recorded a "total of 246 documented first-time violators, eight second-time violators and a total number of 186 claimants."

The confiscated items, according to him, are being donated to the House of Hope, Balay Dangupan, City Social Services and Development Office, Davao City Rehabilitation and Treatment Center for Drug Dependents, Davao City Women Dormitory, Davao City Men Jail and Boystown.

Jimlani also said that another reason for the re-assignment of the DMU personnel to the demolition unit is to allow the City Engineer's Office (CEO) to cope with their collection of wastes.

"Currently, we have 76.10 cubic meters of dirt na hindi nakuha nang city engineer's natin because of the lack of trucks to haul it," he said.

Jimlani said that one truck from the CEO can only handle five cubic meters of waste.

"Since I handle the drainage and demolition tanan na naa sa drainage gina-add nako ang mga personnel sa drainage na dili nako mapa-trabaho. Ginagamit nato sila as civilians para makuha nato ning mga gahi ug ulo nato na mga vendors (We are using them as civilians so that we can get the hard- headed vendors)," he said.

PRINCETON: AvalonBay holds community meeting

DATE POSTED: Thursday, September 4, 2014 5:01 PM EDT

Four dust monitors would be set to half the federal Environmental Protection Agency recommended standard and sound an alarm when levels exceed that threshold. AvalonBays demolition company also plans to use a misting machine to shot out an ionized water mist that would control "quite a bit of the dust," saidJohn Mucha, a project manager with Yannuzzi Wrecking & Recycling Corp. Other steps include training fire hoses on the buildings that are being demolished.

His comments came at a public meeting that AvalonBay had to review the upcoming demolition at the site of its planned residential development. The meeting, lasting for a little more than 90 minutes, drew residents, Mayor Liz Lempert and other public officials to the Witherspoon Hall municipal building. The demolition company plans to use heavy equipment to raze the hospital buildings during a project that could take up to six months to complete.

"I think getting information out about whats happening is critical," Mayor Lempert said afterward. "The staff is here to make sure that AvalonBay does what theyve promised theyre going to do and takes all the precautions that theyve said they would take."

Dust was a concern of residents. Municipal health officer Jeffrey Grosser, who attended the meeting, said the four air monitors are set up that way to cover each wind direction. He said there would be a weather station on site, so that if the wind changes direction, the monitors can be adjusted accordingly.

"I think there might be a misconception of how much truck traffic is leaving this site," said Princeton police Sgt. Thomas Murray during the meeting. "I think the misconception is that youre going to see a lot more truck traffic then youre actually going to see in reality."

Steel will be recycled, while masonry will be crushed on site and reused. Four noise monitors will be installed during the project.

By municipal ordinance, demolition is allowed from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. on weekdays and 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturdays. No demolition is permitted Sundays, municipal engineer Robert V. Kiser said.
