AED Blasts Smoke Stack for Ellsworth Air Force Base PDF Print E-mail

In an emergency relief project, AED blaster Eric Kelly and Technician Steve Cassidy traveled to South Dakota Ellsworth Air Force Base on June 16, 2007. The cracking stack was adjacent to a working boiler house.

A1C Mark Chranowski awarded AED the contract based on their ability to fell the instable structure without interrupting daily procedure on the base.

Using two part Kinestick Blaster Eric Kelly continued his run of ZERO accidents in his twenty six year safety record. The site will be cleaned up on Monday by Dan Wilson of Site Work Specialist from Rapid city, SD.

Protégé Eliya Joy Kelly was on hand to supervise the project. Great job Eliya!

Larry Peterson says...

"The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources experienced an extremely rapid failure of a 100-year-old railroad bridge. When I was called in to assist with the emergency (the bridge) was moving at a rate of approximately two to three inches per day. The consensus of a group of bridge engineers was that the bridge was failing too rapidly to attempt any kind of stabilization (and that) the bridge would collapse within a matter of days. I contacted three firms. Eric Kelly agreed to complete (the job) within two days. Their quick emergency response was greatly appreciated. They quickly took charge of the project and applied their considerable expertise in demolition of steel structures. The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources would like to thank Eric Kelly for his quick response and exemplary work in an emergency situation."
