Demolition experts brought in after Putney Hospital partly collapses

5:00am Wednesday 13th February 2013 in News

Part of disused Putney Hospital has collapsed forcing Wandsworth Council to bring in demolition experts.

Concerned dog-walkers and residents inundated the Wandsworth Guardian news desk on Monday morning after spotting the building's crumbling walls tumbling to the floor.

The site, situated on the north side of Putney Common, is enclosed by high walls but the noise of the collapse drew a number of worried bystanders to the scene.

A spokesman for the council said: "An internal wall, within the vacant nurses' accommodation block at the rear of this long-derelict hospital site, has collapsed.

"In order to make the rest of the building safe our dangerous structures contractor is now carrying out limited demolition work."

The hospital closed services to patients in 1998 and has remained vacant ever since.

Demolition began Tuesday morning at Paso Robles' Oak Park housing complex.

Homes that have been part of Paso Robles low-income housing scene since World War II started their new beginning Tuesday as the first phase to modernize Oak Park kicked off its construction.

The work is the first of a four-phase project to tear down the complexs 148 deteriorated units and replace them with 302 new, energy-efficient apartments on the citys northwest side.

The roughly $25 million first phase is expected to continue for 12 to 14 months.

Oak Park was originally built in 1941 for families of Army personnel at Camp Roberts. In 1943, Oak Park was converted into low-income housing for the public.

First-phase families have been temporarily relocated and can return after construction is complete. Other families remain living there. Twenty of the units will be provided to farmworker families.

The Housing Development Consulting Corp., a Salinas-based nonprofit organization, is the projects developer in partnership with the Paso Robles Housing Authority.

The Alexis Village Board on Monday approved an ordinance regulating the demolition of a structure within the village.

The owner must obtain a permit from the village clerk describing the owner, address and names of those performing the work. Those doing the work must submit a certificate of insurance. The property owner will be responsible for securing utility connections, such as capping the sewer line, disconnecting water service, natural gas and electricity, and filling abandoned cisterns or wells. The owner is responsible for all costs and expenses associated with securing the premises.

Other parts of the ordinance cover demolition requirements, hazardous substances, prevailing wage penalties and more. Village Clerk Jenny McKeown was authorized by the board to view the villages financial information online. She also will pay the Illinois state withholding tax online.

The board discussed past due water bills. Water bills are sent out by the 5th of each month and are due by the 20th of the month. They are considered past due when not paid by the 21st. The board approved applying a 10 percent penalty on each bill that is overdue. The penalty does not include the fee for turning the water supply back on when it is shut off.

We have to do something about these water bills that are overdue every month, said Mayor Dale Oberhaus.

A donation of $150 was approved for the second annual Easter egg hunt scheduled for March 23. The annual event is at the United North Campus grounds.

Treasurer Ange Corben reported that Mediacom had paid the village for the rental of ground where the cable TV equipment is located. The yearly amount is $1,083. Corben also reported that the motor fuel tax audit for years 2002 through 2011 had been satisfactorily completed.

New stop, yield, speed limit, and other signs will replace old signs throughout the village at a cost of $2,487.

The next board meeting is at 7 p.m. March 11 in the Community Center.

LORAIN Demolition of the former Admiral King High School is set to begin within the next two weeks, said Associate Director of District Operations Jeff Hawks.

D & R Demolition will be moving excavating equipment to the schools site, 2600 Ashland Ave, early this week.

Demolition hours will take place between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. depending on weather conditions.

Last month, asbestos abatement was completed by Quality Environmental Services Inc. allowing demolition to continue as scheduled.

The abatement and demolition will be paid for by state money through the Ohio Schools Facilities Commission and can only be used for construction and demolition, Hawks said. Money from the general fund will not be used.

Hawks said asbestos needed to be removed from the building as well as an oil tank that was used when the old high school was an emergency center.

Every community has their feelings with their old high school coming down, Hawks said. A lot of people have called wanting bricks from the old building. But its exciting and signifies new beginnings.

As part of its overall demolition plan, the district has set aside an estimated 30,000 bricks roughly 2,500 from each demolished building that are being stored in a district warehouse without any apparent purpose, said board member Jim Smith.

When demolition is complete, construction can begin for the new state-of-the art $70 million Lorain High School.

What it is: Are you tired of the reality shows on television like pawn shops, tow truck drivers, swamp treasure hunters, or southern redneck kids that are scripted for entertainment purposes? Well if you are, Demolition Mayhem is an unscripted weekly reality show on demolition derbies that we are going to start filming in mid-April. We want to bring this sport that is watched by many into the homes of millions more. Demolition derbies have been around since the early 1930 #39;s using worn out Model T #39;s, but have not received much television coverage. There has been a short documentary on the history of demolitions derbies, every once in a while you can catch a scene in a movie of one, and of course we cannot forget about the original demolition derby driver on television....the Fonz from Happy Days. We want to bring the thrills and chills of demolition derbies, the drivers who get behind the wheel, and the inner workings of selecting and building the cars that are used. Please help if you can to bring this real, unscripted reality show to television so everyone can enjoy a sport that is big, but does not get the recognition that it deserves. What makes ours different from others? First and foremost, our show will detail a driver #39;s journey from finding a car, building the car, and finally driving the car in a demolition derby, along ...
