FOCUSING ON RECYCLING


When the company first got involved in the demolition trade, it tried to recycle or sell all of the materials pulled out of buildings. But in 1970s and 1980s, the market for used materials dropped, so more of what was knocked down went into landfills. Then, environmen- tal regulations on landfills and aware- ness of asbestos dangers came into the picture. Now, the company segre- gates materials and recycles every- thing possible.


The highest percentage of recycling and reuse the company has reached was on its Cloverleaf Mall project in


Midlothian, Va., an 800,000 square- foot shopping mall built in the early 1970s. S.B. Cox was able to reuse or recycle nearly 90 percent of the mate- rials on this project. The concrete and masonry were crushed on site and half of it was converted back into product for a new parking structure. All of the extracted metal went to a recycler. As environmental aspects evolved, so did business processes.


CHERISHING THE REWARDS—AND THE CHALLENGES


The company’s way of doing busi- ness has changed, but its dedication to quality remains the same. “In the early days, to estimate the work you walked around the building, and wrote a quote on the back of an envelope or maybe just worked on trust with


a handshake. You’d do the job, send out a bill and get paid. Now it’s more competitive and complicated. We try to keep historical data on projects and have a good feel for the amount of loads and materials that will be gener- ated from a building and what we can do with those loads. But every building is different so each job has its special needs,” says Cox.


One of Cox’s favorite projects is the Bristol Regional Medical Center, a 450,000-square-foot hospital in Ten- nessee. “This was in 1995 and was my transition from being a field manager to supervising a large job by myself. It will always be very special to me. At the time, it was one of the largest jobs S.B. Cox had ever done and it was 325 miles from Richmond. I took one man from Richmond and hired everyone else locally. It was my opportunity to
