Marble Hill Ohio River Reclamation Project **video**

[EarthRockHill]

At the peak of its construction phase in 1984 Marble Hill Nuclear Power plant employed over 8,000 workers.

6 years and $2.8 billion into the construction the facility was scuttled being only 40% complete. Poor construction methods and a lack funding for the remaining $7.4 billion were to blame.

Since 2008 MCM Management Corp. has been systematically demolishing the many buildings of the facility while recycling its metals, materials and concrete.

A significant land parcel, adjacent to the Ohio River, this rural 275 acre site is being reclaimed and developed for reuse.

Lots of great well used CAT equipment here and a Manitowoc 4600 dragline with a 23,000 pound wrecking ball/cube!!

No, I did not. I had another commitment in Boston with a long standing client on that day. I plan to shoot the other containment building implosion for sure.
Thanks for the compliment on my videos. I really enjoy filming and editing them...

Wow cool video, I was planning on making a in cab video of me taking down a house on a twenty-five foot wide lot without touching the adjacent properties, but the company I was working for ran out of work so I went back to more regular boring earthmoving work.

This place has been dormant and abandoned since 1985 or so. The property was eventually bought by a local farmer/land owner in the late 90's. The amount of heavy grade steel, and rebar there is what makes demolishing the structures 'affordable' to tear it all down.
