Brownfield Demolition & Environmental Remediation

Brownfield Demolition & Environmental Remediation

Location: Muskegon, Michigan

The historic Shaw-Walker complex had been sitting underused for years, with aging structures and environmental conditions standing in the way of redevelopment. Melching was brought in to remove old industrial buildings, manage regulated materials, and prepare the property for new opportunity.

What We Delivered

  • Demolition of deteriorated industrial structures
  • Environmental remediation in coordination with consultants
  • Excavation and cleanup of contaminated soils
  • Concrete breaking, crushing, and material reuse
  • Asset recovery and high-diversion recycling to reduce landfill impact
