Project Summary
Bayview successfully executed the interior soft demolition and hazardous material abatement at the Van Ness Tower, a 29-story commercial high-rise encompassing approximately 400,000 square feet. This project required comprehensive planning, strict regulatory compliance, and coordinated execution to meet both schedule and safety requirements.
The scope of work included the selective demolition of non-structural building components across all floors, including removal of ceiling systems, interior partition walls, and various floor finishes. Demolition activities were carefully performed to preserve the structural elements of the building while preparing the site for subsequent renovations. In parallel with demolition operations, Bayview completed hazardous material abatement activities. These included the removal and compliant disposal of asbestos-containing materials, lead-based building components, mercury-containing fluorescent lighting tubes, and PCB-containing lighting ballasts.
The project employed a peak crew size of 100 skilled workers and was completed in two months, ahead of the originally scheduled timeline by two weeks. Bayview’s ability to safely and efficiently deliver high-volume demolition and environmental remediation services within an occupied urban setting underscores the firm’s capabilities in managing large-scale, schedule-sensitive projects in the commercial and multi-unit residential sectors.
