JDC’s scope including dismantling of the steel MBTA structure, saw-cutting and removal of 42” thick concrete walls of the MBTA station that extended over 20’ below grade, and removal of the 3’ thick MBTA mat slab. This work was completed utilizing Brokk demolition robots, skid steers, and telescoping forklifts.
