CEI Boston LLC Completes Office Trailer Contract at MIT Laboratories at Hanscom Air Force Base in Lexington, MA for RC Griffin Inc.
![]() The First Pick ![]() The Last Pick (and a Sigh of Relief) |
CEI was contracted to remove seven office trailers (Each trailer was sixty feet long and twelve feet wide, weighing in at thirty two thousand pounds each) from the roof top of a four story building on HAFB. Working on a strict time schedule and under the watchful eyes of MIT engineers; Chris Weber, John Lopes and Carl Lawrence from CEI, Rich Gladstone from MIT, RC Griffin and the crew with Coastal Crane worked on a Sunday to get all seven units off of the roof and onto the ground without incident. Another example of CEI Boston going to new heights for its valued clients.
CEI crews completed interior demolition and penetrations for lifting slings as well as making all the seperation’s (the trailers were hooked together as one unit.) This was done in order to prepare the trailers for removal with the use of a 240 Ton Crane. Once on the ground a second crew remobilized to demo and load out the structures. This is another example of CEI Boston going to new heights for its valued clients.

CEI Boston Completes ‘Stables’ in Belmont for Hodess Construction
|
The Belmont Stables were erected in 1916 to house race horses. When all four buildings on Mill Street were established they could hold up to four hundred horses. But, times change and buildings are modified. CEI Boston LLC comes to completion of demolition and concrete work at 115 Mill Street in Belmont, MA. The remodel , when complete, will transform these horse stables into Condominiums.
Steve Tobin and crew have been on site from the beginning. From demo to site work; including concrete grade beams and right down to a hundred and twenty yard concrete placement for the new floors. Quality workmanship and schedule adherance have allowed for successful completion and CEI would like to thank Steve and all of his crew for a job well done!

Your eyesight is one of your most precious senses and generally the most complicated to repair once damaged. Simple procedures and effortless compliance are all that stand between your safety and a possible handicap. At any site where debris is lying on walking surfaces, hanging or falling in any manner as well as the process of Demolition; are obvious times in which to don your safety gear, including your eye protection. But, there are other types of tasks that require this protection as well. Such as; power tools that are expelling particles of any kind, electrical sparks, chipping and welding. Safety glasses are efficient in some circumstances, but safety goggles are the most effective against debris. Your entire eye should be covered to best ensure your safety. Protective head gear needs no debate in favor; it should be well known that head injuries do not usually result in injury (more likely in death) and safety should be your first concern at all times.
