Bayview Demolition, Environmental, & Industrial

Bayview was selected to perform the hazardous materials removal, decommissioning, demolition, and abatement of lead and asbestos for the historical renovation, remodel, and seismic upgrade of 100 McAllister Street. The historic tower, originally designed by Timothy Pflueger and built in 1930, has functioned as a church, hotel, makeshift space for wartime use, and government office building before being acquired by UC Law SF in 1980. The 28-story Gothic Revival and Art Deco building will be used for student housing. This high-profile, long-term project for UC Law SF is part of the university’s long-range campus plan for an academic village in downtown San Francisco. We faced many significant challenges on this project. Our team performed several sequences of demolition and abatement to accommodate the installation of a man lift on the exterior of the building. We removed a bundle of asbestos-containing TSI from the 28th-floor penthouse down into the basement, which required careful coordination and extensive engineered safety measures in order to access the concrete shaft housing. We performed hazardous materials removal and recovery to facilitate the decommissioning of a generator and diesel tank. A small team performed slow and steady swing stage work to remove asbestos from historical finishes on the exterior of the building, 28 stories off the ground.
