Manufacturing Plant Demolition

Westmoreland Plastic Plant Demolition

Transforming Industrial Heritageinto New Opportunities

Originally opened in 1963 as The Plastics Manufacturing Co., the Westmoreland Plastic Plant once buzzed with the production of Texas Ware and Dallas Ware dishes, serving households and commercial cafeterias across the nation. Situated on a sprawling 12-acre site, the plant comprised a 12-story main building with an expansive two-story underground storage basement, alongside multiple auxiliary structures, silos, and exhaust stacks reaching skywards to 150 feet. Constructed with high-density concrete and steel, this complex stood as a testament to mid-century industrial prowess.

A Pioneering Approach to Complex Demolition

The decision to demolish the Westmoreland Plastic Plant was met with a meticulous strategy, prioritizing safety, environmental responsibility, and community impact. Initial steps involved extensive asbestos remediation to safeguard all involved, setting the stage for a demolition process characterized by precision and foresight. Garrett Demolition’s utilization of high-reach excavators and a suite of specialized equipment exemplified our innovative approach, allowing for the strategic dismantling of structures while ensuring material recovery and recycling. This project not only demanded technical expertise but also a commitment to sustainability, with processed materials responsibly diverted to recycling facilities and landfills.

Ensuring a Legacy of Environmental Stewardship

The comprehensive demolition of the Westmoreland Plastic Plant underscores Garrett Demolition's dedication to environmental stewardship. Beyond the removal of physical structures, our efforts focused on minimizing environmental impact, incorporating the use of existing site soil and imported backfill for void filling and site restoration. This endeavor, initially estimated to span 8 months, was completed with remarkable efficiency, concluding in just 6 months thanks to our team's unparalleled coordination and execution capabilities.
