Value- Engineering by DMC

The maximum demolition was to be conducted on the 3rd level which was the main casino level and we needed the freight elevator to move the machines to the floor and debris out from there. The freight elevator was damaged and was under shut down for several weeks. DMC built a temporary ramp to move the machines in and the ramp was also used to transfer the debris to the dumpsters. This helped us to continue the project and finish it on schedule.
