There’s a lot going on at the lot Malcolm X College used to occupy. As Heneghan Wrecking continues to tear down the old facility, McHugh Construction is equally busy doing foundation work for the new Chicago Blackhawks Community Training Center.
Hopefully, those two companies are doing a good job of remembering which equipment should be ripping things to shreds, and which machines should be laying foundation work. Things are pretty well divided between a west end of the site and an east end, so they likely know what they’re doing.
Heneghan has been at it since the demo permit was filed back in April. It’s a huge site, so sorting and hauling debris away eats up big chunks of time.
I stood and watched for awhile. Wanna see the pics? Well of course you do.
- The beast must be fed.
- Take human bites, beast. You’re getting crumbs everywhere.
- Tear the roof off the sucker.
- This look familiar to anyone? Auditorium seating? or just a large classroom with risers?
- Caissons to the east, demo to the west.
- In case you mist it, this is how you keep demolition dust from getting out of hand.
- Heneghan doing what they do, making space.
