The City of New Orleans is facing a multimillion-dollar series of infrastructure repairs to fix damages that resulted from the fatal collapse of the hotel and its subsequent demolition.
An 11-story office tower in Dallas, Texas was set to be brought down in a controlled demolition in Feb. 16, which dropped the outer shell of the building but failed to bring down the structure’s concrete core.
Dueling Swedish-made hydrodemolition robots were at World of Concrete to try and boost the demolition technology's profile in the North American market.
After delays that threatened to push the project into 2021, the City of New Orleans announced on Jan. 17 that the partially collapsed structure of the unfinished, 18-story Hard Rock Hotel will be brought down in a controlled demolition in late March, under a new plan to be submitted by demolition contractor D.H. Griffin Cos.
