Partial demolition of a centenary building
Partial demolition of the old, century-old Snowdon Theater located on Décarie Boulevard in Montreal. For reasons of heritage preservation, it was important to keep the front façade as well as the side walls. The enclosure had previously been stripped and asbestos removed. The structure was steel/concrete, 40 to 65 feet high, depending on the sector.
SERVICES:

CHALLENGES:
- Restricted space (clearance of 3 meters in front of the building)
