Dent Renovations -- Chimney Removal -- August 30, 2011





Monarc's Ronnie and Kyle high up in a cherry picker to guide a crane to the Dent School's chimney that was damaged by the earthquake. Linton Engineering, LLC, evaluated the structure following the earthquake and has recommended that the unstable portion of the chimneys' crown be removed before Monarc can continue structural work inside the building. The two chimneys are so unstable that there is risk that construction vibration could crumble the chimneys damaging the School's original slate roof.

The crane and cherry picker's arrival on site was delayed as they were deployed to aid in tree removal and PEPCO power restoration. What will be next?
