HIGHLIGHTED PROJECTS
BWI AIRPORT TERMINAL
In 2002, Interior Specialists, Inc. was contracted by
The Whiting‐Turner Contracting Company to work
on the BWI Airport Terminal project. This project
was one of size and an extremely tight schedule
requirement. The scope of this work included the
dismantling and removal of the main pedestrian
bridges connecting the parking garage to the main
terminal and we were required to remove several
main beams and floors within the airport’s
customer high traffic areas. Interior Specialists,
Inc. had just 6 hours to disconnect and remove
each bridge, all while not impeding vehicular or
pedestrian traffic.
GETTYSBURG’S VISITOR CENTER
The Gettysburg’s Visitor Center and Cyclorama
Building project was very unique, as it
unexpectedly spanned 4 years. Interior
Specialists, Inc. was originally contracted by
Kinsley Construction Company in 2009 to
dismantle and preserve the historic “Battle of
Gettysburg” map held within the original Visitor
Center and demolish both the Visitor Center and
the Cyclorama Building located a short distance
away on a Gettysburg battlefield. The map was
cut into three sections, weighing 3 tons each,
packaged and moved to a safe storage site for
future use. After the Visitor Center demolition,
the work to be done at the Cyclorama project was
put on hold until February of 2013 when the
project was again given the green light by the Park
Service in order to restore the grounds to their
Civil War era appearance. With the presence of
many onlookers, Interior Specialists, Inc.
demolished the popular landmark and cleared the
debris within 2 months.
8
US NAVAL ACADEMY
In 2004, the Chauvenet Hall project at the US Naval
Academy was one of the most challenging projects to
date in terms of scope, timing and sheer size. The entire
hall was gutted leaving basically a skeleton to be re‐fitted
and completely renovated. The level of coordination and
team work with all involved was paramount. Shoring and
Brokk robotics were utilized like never before and the
end result was astounding for which we were given a
letter of commendation from The Whiting‐Turner
Contracting Company on this very difficult project.
PRESIDENTIAL INAUGUARATION PLATFORM
For the dismantling and removal of the Inaugural platform
used for the 2009 Presidential Inauguration in January at
the United States Capital, Interior Specialists, Inc. was
contracred for the complete removal of a platform that
took four months to build (7 tractor trailer loads of wood),
in just 1 month. Under the direction of our
superintendent, Charlie Manack, two and a half weeks
later, we were done and once again recognized for
excellent service and professionalism by our partner UBS
and their construction manager, The Christman Company.
Our teams’ efforts in the extreme weather conditions and
time constraints showed that we can rise to the job and
knock them out.
9
VIRGINIA TECH
Interior Specialists, Inc. completed our second project at Virginia Tech in 2012 working with Barton
Malow Company. The Davidson Hall project required that the major portion of the existing
science building be demolished. The project included an in depth structural separation from the
building to remain which required substantial engineering. ISI’s specialty task force was able,
through strategic planning, to make this building separation without any impact to the building to
remain. The project documents required ISI, as part of the contract, to remove a substantial
amount of hazardous materials prior to the demolition of the structures as well. The timeline to
complete this project was extremely tight, but ISI was able to complete the project ahead of
schedule and on budget. The photographs below display a time series of the demolition.
10
1800 F STREET/GSA
In 2011, Interior Specialists, Inc. contracted with W‐
T/Walsh Joint Venture to work on the 1800 F
Street/GSA project which consisted of interior
demolition of the existing office spaces and removal
of structural portions of the existing structure within a
300,000 square foot, 8 stories building in the heart of
Washington DC with an extremely complex work
environment. Part of the project consisted of the
removal of an existing 3 story building in the center of
a courtyard with only 15’ of space between it and the
8 story surrounding buildings. ISI had to do a physical
structural separation of the building to be removed on
one side and the building was then removed utilizing a
high reach excavator, all within the extremely tight
space in the busy DC environment. The project was
completed on time and within budget.
HERSHEY’S CHOCOLATE FACTORY
Most recently, Interior Specialists, Inc. has been
working on the demolition of the former Hershey’s
Chocolate plant which consists of work ranging from
the delicate removal of a conveyor belt over an
operating set of railroad tracks, to the complete razing
of building sections. In all, ISI has secured close to 17
million dollars in base contract amounts and have
completed our work to date in a timely and safe
fashion.
11
SPRINGFIELD TOWN CENTER RENOVATION
In 2013 The Whiting‐Turner Contracting Company awarded the
selective demolition package to Interior Specialists, Inc. The selective
demolition package included gutting the existing 900,000 sf of
architectural retail space back to structural elements to remain,
install vertical load shoring, column bracing, and lateral load
foundation wall shoring in order to perform the major structural
modifications as shown on the contract documents. Interior
Specialists, Inc placed inside the mall two PC138 Komatsu excavators
outfitted with air purification systems to load the 1,300 dumpsters
that were to be diverted to landfills in the surrounding areas. ISI had
also implemented (10) bobcat skid steers, (2) bobcat mini‐excavators,
(2) brokk demolition robots, (1) Link‐Belt 240 Excavator, and an
arsenal of aerial lifts to complete this project within the schedule
allotted by the Whiting‐Turner Contracting Company. WT

MONTGOMERY MALL NEW THEATER & DINING TERRACE:
The Whiting‐Turner contracting company selected Interior Specialists, Inc
as their demolition sub‐contractor for the major renovation of the existing
mall to add a new theatre and dining terrace. In order to add their new
state of the art multi‐screen movie theatre it was the intention of the
architect to remove 90% of the 4th floor from the existing parking garage in
order to retro fit their new cinema. This parking garage was designed and
constructed with a precast pre‐stressed
double tee deck. Because of this type of
construction, and the three levels below
remaining for future use Interior
Specialists used a 550 ton hydraulic
crane to remove saw‐cut sections of the
pre‐stressed double tees. These 62’ long
X 9’ wide double tees were placed
directly on flat bed tractor trailers,
hauled off site to be broken up, and crushed. The crushed material would be
recycled into road base for future use. Also as part of our scope in this project was
to perform selective demolition during off hours in an active food court.
Coordination and cleanliness were key to the success of this portion of the project.
During our time at Montgomery Mall the owners of the mall noticed that a 1 level
parking garage adjacent to the parking garage that was just retro‐fitted with the
new cinema was failing. This parking garage was found unsafe to the general public,
and the owners of the parking garage quarantined off this area to keep the general public safe. Although, this area
was imperative to parking for the upcoming holiday black‐Friday shopping season. Whiting‐Turner hired Interior
Specialists to tear down the 100,000 sf parking garage structure by the Wednesday before Thanksgiving. The duration
for demolistion was a total of 16 working days to raze the entire structure, and prepare the parking lot for parking by
Wednesday before the Thanksgiving holiday. Thanks to the hard work and long days of ISI key personnel, Interior
Specialists demolished the entire 100,000 square foot parking garage and loaded it out in 11 days.
12
PIER HOTEL BALTIMORE:
The pier hotel project is one of
Baltimore’s iconic restoration
ventures in the Fells Point area.
Sagamore Development Co.,
associated with Under Armour,
purchased the old City Pier
Building and is planning on
turning the building into a
premier high end hotel. ISI was
hired for the demolition work on
this existing building. Extensive
structural alterations were
necessary to make way for the
new construction work. In the
process ISI had to bring in barge
cranes and barges to strategically
remove much of the existing
building structure. Extensive shoring and bracing of the structure to remain was designed and
implemented by ISI to ensure that the building was stabilized to prevent collapse during and after
the demolition work. ISI completed the demolition work on this project in record time allowing the
new construction to proceed on time
without any delays.
