R. Baker & Son All Industrial in the LEED on GREEN Since 1935

With alarming environmental topics like global warming and energy costs dominating our headlines, “green” has the word in business today. At long last, American industry is finally recognizing the importance of taking steps to reduce their impact onour fragile environment. For R. Baker & Son, though, “being green” is nothing new; we have been providing environmental services since 1935.

One approach that the construction industry has taken toward protecting our environment and saving energy is the LEED (Leadership in Environmental and Energy Design) Green Building Rating System. LEED is the U.S. Green Building Council’s nationally accepted benchmark for environmentally sustainable construction. Buildings that are LEED-certified have been shown to provide healthier work and living conditions, greatly reduce environmental impact, and are more energy efficient.

R. Baker & Son has always been committed to providing clients with projects that go well above and beyond basic code compliance. That is why R. Baker & Son clients who are seeking LEED certification are always ensured that they will receive all available rating points in categories pertaining to our portion of their project.

Here are a few of the categories where R. Baker & Son can help clients earn LEED points:
  • Recycling of demolition materials
  • Recycling of new construction materials
  • Brown field development
  • Selection of existing site reuse

R. Baker & Son Listed in Directory of Wood-Framed Building Deconstruction Companies

R. Baker & Son All Industrial Services (R. Baker & Son), a global dismantlement, rigging, decommissioning and building demolition contractor, is proud to be listed in the Directory of Wood-Framed Building Deconstruction and Reused Building Materials Companies by the USDA Forest Products Laboratory.

This directory lists companies involved in wood-framed building deconstruction and dismantling and reused building materials, with an emphasis on those that use, resell, or remanufacture salvaged wood. The purpose of the directory is to provide a consumer and business resource for locating companies offering a variety of products and services including:

* Partial or whole building removals, with a focus on wood materials recovery and reuse
* Brokering, buying, or selling salvaged wood building materials
* Producing, buying, or selling specialized salvaged wood products, such as architectural items or re-milled flooring
* Construction and timber-framing using reclaimed wood in new construction or remodeling
* To a lesser extent, ancillary services such as environmental remediation, recycling, and equipment used in building deconstruction

Companies in the directory range in scope from those that carry out targeted building removals, such as historic barns, strictly for the purpose of harvesting the antique wood in these buildings, to companies that conduct residential and commercial demolition where the primary goal is building removal and the materials are recovered opportunistically as a by-product. The bulk of companies listed are those that either salvage or sell building materials.

Wood-framed building deconstruction is a specific approach to remove materials for reuse in such a way as to preserve their integrity and value to the greatest extent possible and as economically as possible. Deconstruction is generally perceived as manual disassembly of a building, although various combinations of manual and mechanical methods are being studied to improve cost and time performance. Solid wood recovery rates of 50% to 90% are not uncommon. Deconstruction emphasizes a hierarchy of material use; reuse first, then recycle. For example, it is deemed preferable to reuse a recovered timber beam in its whole form rather than grind it up and recycle it into mulch or boiler fuel.

R. Baker & Son is listed in the directory in several places including:

* Wood Framed Building Deconstruction and Reused Building Materials Companies in New Jersey
* Companies Performing Deconstruction / Soft Stripping
* Companies Performing Demolition / Selective Dismantling

R. Baker & Son Completes Relocation and Installation of Intrepid Brass Propeller

R. Baker and Son All Industrial Services, an expert rigging, demolition, machinery moving and equipment relocation contractor, recently completed the relocation of the USS Intrepid’s propeller at the USS Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum in New York.

Under a previous contract, R. Baker & Son All Industrial Services (R. Baker & Son) had previously staged the propeller while a steel display frame was being fabricated. The propeller is solid brass, weighs 28,000 lbs and is 15 feet 6 inches from blade tip to blade tip.
This next phase of the project required R. Baker & Son to lift the propeller from a horizontal position into a vertical position and mount the propeller onto the frame. The frame then needed to be relocated to another part of the carrier for permanent display.

To accomplish this task, a 5 man expert rigging crew was mobilized to the site. In addition, a 5,000 lb Hyster forklift, two (2) scissor lifts, chain blocks and other various rigging equipment were delivered to the site.

Utilized the various rigging equipment, the R. Baker & Son rigging crew lifted the 29,000 lb propeller from a horizontal position into a vertical position. Because the propeller was located in the bay of the carrier, there was very little headroom and the crews only had only about 6 inches of clearance once the propeller was stood straight up.

Once in a vertical position, the propeller was held in place via chain blocks while a 3,800 pound shaft was inserted. Once the shaft was in place, the assembly was then carefully landed onto the steel display frame.

The entire frame and propeller assembly then needed to be moved approximately 150 feet to its final location. In order to accomplish this, the epoxy floor first had to be protected with hardboard. Following protection of the floor, R. Baker & Son’s expert rigging crews utilized several 15 ton Teflon skates along with the 5,000 lb forklift to carefully move the assembly to its final location.

The project was completed within the 1 day timeframe set by the client. The project was incident and accident free. For more information on R. Baker & Son’s capabilities and projects completed, visit www.rbaker.com

R. Baker & Son Completes Critical Installation of Generator for Private Client

R. Baker and Son All Industrial Services, an expert rigging, machinery moving and equipment relocation contractor recently completed the rigging and rough setting of a 4,000 lb backup generator for a private client in New Jersey.

R. Baker & Son All Industrial Services (R. Baker & Son) was contracted by a private client to offload, rig and set a 4,000 lb generator onto a concrete pad. The client contracted R. Baker & Son to perform the work due to their impeccable safety record (EMR 0.79), professionalism and cost effectiveness.

Prior to the commencement of work, R. Baker & Son conducted several evaluations and the development of a critical lift plan. An evaluation of the area where the crane and equipment would be placed was conducted to ascertain ground stability and the potential for underground utilities. The weight of the generator was also considered to determine proper selection of necessary slings and associated rigging equipment. Based on the weight of the generator and the calculation of height and radius from center pin of crane to desired placement of generator, R. Baker & Son determined that the appropriate sized crane needed to be a 50 ton hydraulic crane
The work began by coordinating the delivery of the generator to the site with the mobilization of the crane and rigging crew. The project needed to be completed in one day so timing was crucial.
R. Baker & Son mobilized a three (3) man expert rigging crew along with a 50 ton hydraulic crane to the site. In addition, ancillary rigging equipment (shackles, nylon straps, etc.) and safety equipment (fire extinguishers, safety kit, etc.) were also delivered to the site.

The flat bed truck delivering the generator and the rigging crew along with crane were expertly coordinated to the site and all arrived on time in the morning. The generator was then carefully lifted from the flatbed and then carefully placed onto the concrete pad. The generator was rough set.

The project was completed within the 1 day timeframe set by the client. The project was incident and accident free. For more information on R. Baker & Son’s capabilities and projects completed, please visit www.rbaker.com
