Tank demolition after 1995 fire
Palo, Inc. was provided a subcontract with McCarl's, Inc at the Pennzoil Refinery
in Rouseville, Pennsylvania, following a massive fire at the facility in October 1995.
Palo established a perimeter around the fire area to allow Pennzoil to assess the
damage and allow O.S.H.A. to perform their investigation. Once the damage was
assessed, and the investigation was complete, Palo demolished damaged portions of
the plant and constructed foundations to deem the facility operable while major repairs
could be addressed. Palo then started building tank foundations, dike and ring walls,
pump foundations, slabs, and site grading, to bring Pennzoil back to normal
operations. Palo has taken on other projects while at the facility, such as a Base
Oil Logistics Project, and a Wastewater Project.

 

Palo, Inc. demolished these silos at the former Knox Glass Plant using a Cat 235 Excavator.
