NADC In The News
North American Dismantling Corp. has been recognized with the prestigious 2026 Casbon Safety Award from the Construction Association of Michigan. This honor acknowledges our exceptional commitment to workplace safety and our industry-leading EMR rating of .56. With over 40 years in the demolition industry, NADC continues to set the standard for safe operations in heavy industrial demolition.
NADC receives the Excellence in Demolition Award from the National Demolition Association for our work on the Continuous Ship Unloader (CSU) at Kalaeloa Barber's Point Harbor in O'ahu, Hawaii. The CSU was a rail-mounted, hydraulic, counterbalancing ship unloader equipped with a bucket elevator to remove coal from ships' holds.
The project presented unique engineering challenges: six concrete counterweights weighing 80,000 lbs each were positioned 90 feet above ground with unusable original rigging points. NADC engineered and cored new rigging points while managing slurry containment near the water. The systematic demolition plan required removing weight from each side of the main pivot point while monitoring forces with dynamometers to maintain safe working loads.

Deconstruction of more than half a million square feet of commercial and entertainment space on Fremont Street in Las Vegas was accomplished by North American Dismantling Corp. as a subcontractor to Tre Builders. Demolition included various one- to three-story structures, a seven-story parking garage, and north and south office towers standing 15 and 14 stories respectively, making way for the first new casino resort constructed downtown in decades.
The abandoned interiors housed materials from refrigeration and kitchen equipment to carpeting and furnishings. The north tower, with its steel frame and staggered truss system, presented particular challenges. NADC built a 35-ft-high workbench from demolished materials for high-reach equipment access. Despite crowded streets and casino venues nearby, the Clark County Department of Air Quality visited daily and issued no warnings or citations. The project required 28,163 man-hours.
