Las Vegas, NV (KTNV) --After more than 12 hours of demolition work, the Clarion Hotel and Casino is finally a pile of dust. But it didn't come down without a fight.

The elevator shaft remained standing until Tuesday afternoon, when demolition crews tore it down with cables and pulleys.

All morning, there were snaps and pops as crews put tension on that massive cable working to topple over the remaining eight stories of the elevator shaft. They finally succeeded without the help of a wrecking ball.

The elevator shaft of the Clarion defied more than 1,100 pounds of explosives placed strategically and 4,400 boreholes designed to make the building fall in on itself in a spectacular detonation.

When the rest of the building went down, the elevator shaft just didn't want to join. It took crews 12 hours to successfully dismantle the piece, wrapping caravels around it and pulling it over in two phases.

A wrecking ball was on order in case the cable trick didn't work, but crews got lucky, making the project for the new site one step closer to realization

The next step is they're going to come knock down the two-story facade.

That project should take only about a day, then an estimated couple weeks to clear the lot. The hope is it will be clear and ready for building by the end of the month.

Corrugated metal ceilings are popping up across the country thanks to the growing popularity of green building and the interest in Latin American and Southwestern European cultures. In the U.S., they are installed for aesthetics, to achieve an Old World look from places that have used and still use corrugated metal roofs, to protect dwelling inhabitants from the elements, and on green building projects. It is an inexpensive, easy and effective style of roofing in many growing nations as well a developed nations.

A 40-foot tall reinforced, industrial-strength dome, new slab of concrete and extended tipping floor, are designed to accommodate commercial-grade dump trucks at San Juan Islands solid-waste facility.

The transformation of the San Juan Island solid-waste facility reached a new plateau with the recent installation of an industrial-strength dome, a new slab of concrete below and a buttress of sizable concrete blocks, eight on each side of the 40-foot-wide tipping floor, which serve to anchor it all together.

While the height of the dome, roughly 40-feet from floor to ceiling, may be an eye-opener in itself, its just part of the plan.

And, the upgrade underway is actually ahead of schedule, according to Troy Lautenbach, co-owner of Lautenbach Enterprises, the Skagit County-based garbage, recycling and demolition company that assumed control of the Sutton Road site in early June.

We have 18 months to make the improvements required under our contract and agreement with the county, Lautenbach said, Weve accomplished what weve done so far in seven months. It all goes with turning whats been a drop-box facility back into a transfer station.

Which is what the town of Friday Harbor, as well as many other large-scale local haulers of trash and debris, has been waiting for.

The town, owner of the 26-acre former landfill on Sutton Road, opted a number of years ago to send its trash-haul trucks to the mainland, initially to avoid escalating prices at the solid-waste facility, run at that time by the county, a routine that persisted after the site was converted into a drop-box-only operation due, in part, to lingering problems of tainted stormwater run-off and the absence of a cover over the tipping floor.

Administrator Duncan Wilson foresees more efficient, cost-effective use of-town personnel and utility equipment once state and local health inspectors give a final okay on Lautenbachs improvements, operational plan and then issue the permit to operate the site as a transfer station.

If all goes according to plan, Troy Lautenbach said that final okay should soon be in place.
