Project Updates

• Bayview Industrial Services, Inc. (BIS) was activated to assist the City of Oakland with managing the recovery of approximately 6,000 lbs of various fish from the shoreline of Lake Merrit just prior to the Labor Day Weekend festivities to take place at the lake location. The Fish kill was caused by an algae build-up in the estuary and tidal influences pushed the floating fish into the small lake.  BIS utilized approximately a dozen personnel with bioprotective gear to manage the fish and restore the shoreline.  Local news agencies and the City of Oakland press management covered the activities.

Bayview Environmental Services, Inc. was awarded the hazardous materials abatement project through Garrison Demolition. The project was the first phase of an 84-acre development plan proposed by Google for a new campus and urban village. Bayview’s scope included abatement of hazardous materials from 8- commercial buildings which were scheduled to be demolished as part of the initial phase of development. Bayview’s scope included the abatement of various hazardous materials found in each of the 8-buildings including, asbestos, lead, PCB’s, Freon, universal, and household hazardous wastes. The critical path of the schedule included abating the first building known as 145 S Montgomery in order to make way for a new road extension which was a vital step in the overall schedule. Bayview was given 30 days to complete this first building before moving on to complete the remaining 7-buildings. Erick Ledesma was the acting superintendent in charge of the project. He along with his general foreman and a crew of 30+ workers successfully completed the project with no incidents. Bayview completed the scope of work in plenty of time for the demolition phase to begin. The project including all change orders was a one-million-dollar project for Bayview and was completed successfully.

Bayview Environmental Services, Inc. was awarded the second phase of the demolition project at the Intel facility located in Santa Clara California. The scope included a variety of items that were to be removed from the facility including the walls of the Fab room and the remaining lower steel that was supporting the walls. The existing structural fireproofing material was assessed, and Bayview removed the fireproofing that was delaminating and damaged from a former water leak. After Bayview removed the fireproofing, the structural steel was blasted using the “Dustless Blaster” to remove the residual fireproofing and rust so that the new fireproofing could be reapplied.

The project was a combination project performed with Environmental and Demolition teams working in sequence to remove the necessary items scheduled for demolition and to remove the fireproofing and blast the structural steel. The $1.7 million + dollar project was scheduled for 12 weeks.

Josue Torres was the superintendent assigned to this project along with Claudio Paniagua who was the general foreman.

Bayview Demolition Services was awarded the interior demolition project of the Solidigm Campus. Bayview was tasked to provide a full interior gut of 1 building and selective TI demolition in 3 office buildings. This included wall, flooring, and selective ceiling demolition throughout the buildings. Bayview completed the project in accordance with Rancho Cordova’s recycling requirements.

The Boykin Hall Project, located on the Santa Clara Community College campus, was a good project for Bayview’s demolition team. The project consisted of selective demolition located on the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd level classrooms as well as the roof.  The demolition scope included the removal of existing casework, doors and frames, exterior wall tile, floor finishes, tubes and ballasts, ceilings, MEPs, and typical selective demo.  There was a consistent 8-10 person crew for the 4-month project that had a contract value of just under $200,000.
