Key Bank Tower - Demolition

[Utah_Viper]

The Key Bank Tower at 50 S. Main will come crashing down at 6:30am on Saturday, Aug 18th. Should have some interesting comms that morning in SLC. I will be down there to watch before our get together later that morning.

I don't think I have heard what company is doing the job. Would be nice to find out who it is and research their frequencies. Not many companies that do that type of demo work.

Oakland is the General Contractor but this is something they would sud-contract out.

Found it!

Grant Macaky is doing the work. Here is a link to their inital request for a variance on the demo.

You have to think, "What a fun job. I get paid to blow stuff up." Of course we all know the world isn't that simple but. . . what a job.
