The first part of any construction project is to lay a proper foundation. The Brooklyn Brewery expansion is no different. The warehouse has a concrete floor foundation; however, the floor had no drainage system in place and lacked the structure needed to hold the massive amounts of brewing equipment being brought in.
So, there was only one thing to do. Tear up the floor…
Column 8 with some debris from the floor... some debris
The implement of destruction
The Backhoe and with the jackhammer attachment
The demolition
That man is proud of his work
There was a dumpster for the rubble
I was amazed that it held so much
A view toward the north entrance
The west side of the warehouse completely torn up
It was a slow, loud, and awesome process
This little guy had to pick up all the trash
A view from the south entrance toward the north
The backhoe tearing up the floor by the north entrance
Looking east at the floor that is now half dirt
These glass rods were found underneath the floor. A relic from this building's life as a cast iron factory
These rods were buried under the south west corner of the concerete floor
Looking north east at the demolition
