16-Story High-Rise Structural Demolition
Project Overview
- Disciplines: Structural, Electrical, Civil Engineering, & CEI
- Location: Downtown Miami, FL
Demolishing a high-rise in Downtown Miami presents a unique set of engineering challenges, from zero-lot-line constraints to rigorous environmental protections. G.M. Selby was retained to provide end-to-end engineering and design services for the 16-story deconstruction. Our role spanned from the initial design of the demolition sequence to active construction management and onsite monitoring, ensuring the project remained compliant with stringent municipal safety standards.
