Project Overview

Lindamood completed a complex urban implosion in downtown Austin within a dense, active city environment. The demolition required detailed planning and strict coordination to protect adjacent historic and occupied structures.

The project included controlled implosion of a 12-story tower with a three-story underground parking garage while preserving a 100-year-old building on the same block located within 100 feet of the structure. A 40-foot double curtain system protected nearby glass and surrounding facilities.

Scope also included full abatement, debris removal, and excavation of an 85-foot-deep basement for the new tower within a highly constrained footprint.

Key project elements included:

 • Controlled implosion of 12-story structure

 • Preservation of adjacent 100-year-old historic building

 • 40-foot double curtain protective system

 • Demolition of underground parking structure

 • 85-foot-deep basement excavation

 • Integrated demolition and excavation delivery

By serving as both demolition and excavation contractor, Lindamood accelerated the construction schedule by six weeks. Execution reflects the firm’s ability to perform high-risk implosion operations in dense urban environments while maintaining safety and schedule control.
